Rapper 50 Cent poses in front of Reliant after announcing on social media he's moved to Houston. 

New York rapper 50 Cent is now living in Houston.

Born Curtis Jackson, the rapper and creator of the "Power" television show abruptly announced Tuesday that he was leaving the concrete jungle for H-Town.

Denise Petski at Deadline described the show as a first-of-its-kind anthology series that couples documentary and scripted drama. 

The show, arranged to air sometime next year, will focus on the true story of a queenpin who created a criminal dynasty before her work became the reason for her destruction.

To accomplish the new crime drama, the "For Life" producer teamed up with streaming service Discovery+, Goodbye Pictures and Lionsgate.

"As G-Unit Film & Television continues its rapid growth, we have to think outside the box and challenge ourselves to tell entertaining and important stories in new ways," Jackson said in a statement. "With the support of discovery+, our friends at Lionsgate TV, and in partnership with top producer, Rich Bye, and Goodbye Pictures, we have the right team to help us continue pushing the creative envelope. I am thrilled to add Confessions of a Crime Queen to the G-Unit Film & Television slate in 2022."

While we're unsure if the surprise move is permanent, the NY rapper and television producer has a lot to learn about Southern hospitality.
