The “Get Rich Or Die Tryin” rap star is expanding his entertainment profile in the world of film and television.
“I’m so honoured to be part of the leadership of this extraordinary organization,” the 46-year-old said in a statement about the exciting news. “Being able to give back to this industry is something we should all strive for, and I can’t wait for all the exciting changes we have in store.”
On his Instagram page, 50 Cent wrote more about his induction, describing the experience as “amazing” before telling his 27.9 million followers that all he’s focused on as of late is “positivity and progress.”
As HipHopDX reports, the esteemed fund’s purpose for the last century has been to “provide financial assistance through social programs to those working and retired from the entertainment industry.”
When sharing his thoughts on the latest group of inductees, MPTF president Bob Beitcher said, “We’re more than thrilled to have these four incredible leaders in their fields join our board of governors. Our future is truly looking bright as we move ahead to a new era of taking care of our own.”
