50 Cent Admits He Didn’t Cancel BMF: “That Wasn’t Me”

Last year, 50 Cent claimed he was canceling BMF on Starz amid friction with co-founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory over Rick Ross. But in a new interview, 50 says the final decision wasn’t his.
Speaking to Deadline, he explained that BMF had been “slightly declining” in ratings before the last season and that creative choices didn’t help. “I know people feel like I turned it off,” he said, “but the networks would have continued to move forward if it was doing the numbers… It’s one thing me saying the show’s over, and another that it’s actually over. Those were the circumstances; it wasn’t me.”
So yes—50 stirred the pot online, but he says Starz made the call based on performance.

Trolls aside, 50 frames BMF’s fate as a ratings-and-creative decision—not a personal kill switch.
