Real-life ‘White Boy Rick’ reacts on Eminem portraying him in 50 Cent’s “BMF” TV Series

Richard Wershe Jr., also know as “White Boy Rick,” who became FBI informant at the age of 14 and later was sentenced 30 years in prison, says he is honored that Eminem will be portraying him in 50 Cent’s upcoming TV Series, “Black Mafia Family.”

“Of course, it’s Eminem so that’s an honor to have him portray me in a series. He was actually one of the first people that was looking at doing the movie about me so it’s pretty cool that later down the line, he gets to take on this role.”

When asked what kind of advice he would give to Eminem for the role, Rick said that he doesn’t think he needs to give the Detroit legend any tips, claiming that he’s a professional: “I don’t think I have to tell him anything at all. He is professional. Everything he does, he does very well. His music, it speaks for itself. He is an icon, he is a legend. This, for him, will be a small thing. I think he will kill it whatever he does. I’m a fan. It’s an honor to have him do it. He is a Detroit legend. I have a huge name here, so from one Detroiter to another…just kill it!” – said Wershe.

“I’ve done a song with Em for his album. And then I put together the collaborations project. I sort of asked him, I’d love to get 50 on it, and he was like ‘yeah no problem, I’ll get Fifty on it.’ And I remember, 50’s gonna probably disagree with that but, I was walking into the Wembley dressing room where we were presented the plaque.

19 years ago today, Eminem signed 50 Cent to Shady Records

In 2002 it was announced that Eminem and Dr. Dre have signed an up and coming rapper by the name of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and since then rap game has never been the same.

At the time of 50’s signing to Eminem’s Shady Records label and the Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment, the then-27-year-old rapper was only two years removed from being shot nine times in front of his grandmother’s house in Southside Jamaica, Queens. Weeks prior to his signing, 50 and his newly established crew, G-Unit, had unleashed their now-iconic mixtape, 50 Cent Is the Future. Featuring a variety of inventive remixes and a collection of dynamic raps from Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, the project helped 50 live up to its title.

50 Cent realized his big potential when he dropped off his incredible debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, on Feb. 6, 2003, under Shady Records. Led by his hit single, “In Da Club,” the project debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart after selling 872,000 copies in its first week.

Fifty’s second album ‘The Massacre’ was a massive commercial success as it became one of the fastest selling albums in the history of hip-hop. Debuting at No.1 on Billboard 200, the album sold more than 1 million copies in its first week of release.

50 Cent left Shady Records in 2014.

50 Cent calls Lloyd Banks ‘lazy’ in his book, Banks responds on a new song “Stranger Things”

Last week, Lloyd Banks dropped his first proper studio album in over a decade, titled The Course of the Inevitable.

In 50 Cent’s book Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, Fiddy writes: “I always felt that if I had maybe done a better job teaching Banks and Yayo how to evolve and change their habits, they each would be in better places right now. While I was out hustling, Banks was more content staying on his porch and watching the world from there.”

“Banks wanted things to come to him, as opposed to going out and getting them for himself. That’s not me trying to assassinate his character—the guy has ‘Lazy Lloyd’ tattooed on his arm. He literally wears his laziness on his sleeve.”

On a song titled “Stranger Things,” from new album, Banks responds to Fifty: “When you’re f**ked up, behavior turns irregular quick, sometimes the pressure overwhelms when you’re the head of the clique/But don’t get ahead of yourself, I ain’t bending for s**t/Nobody sees your vision until you’re successful.”

He continues, “Your favorite’s nowhere near me when I’m dedicated/Always humble, usually disciplined and never hated/Call me quiet, call me lazy, talent never faded/It’s frustrating when your grindin’ ain’t appreciated/Should have been dead in my twenties, s**t, at least I made it/Guess I gotta prove myself again, increase your payment.”

ABC cancels 50 Cent’s “For Life” TV series

Due to low ratings for the network, 50 Cent’s TV series called “For Life” has been canceled at ABC after two seasons. The show was inspired by the story of Isaac Wright Jr.

Series star Nicholas Pinnock says not to blame ABC for its decision and that “For Life” is not a network show. Pinnock explained his stance in a series of posts on Twitter:

“I am in no way bitter with ABC for not renewing For Life for a third season. ABC has been nothing but supportive of our show, and has championed it from the start. So I won’t have you bad-mouthing them. I can tell you firsthand how great they have been to me and to our show. Sadly, the live audience numbers didn’t reflect and equal the social media attention,” he continued. “The catch-up numbers were really good, but that doesn’t fit the model of a network show.”

“If we do manage to secure another home for “For Life”… I can promise you we will continue to make a show that is beyond worthy of your time and engagement,” Pinnock added.

50 Cent promises the the show will be back soon, on other Network..

“It’s just a matter of the NFL pulling the trigger. I would not just walk out. I would definitely do something that would be mind-blowing, you know what I’m saying? People will be talking about it for the next 30 years.”

“I’m open to anything that is dope, unique, edgy, and cunning. This will be cutting-edge, just for my people.”
