50 Cent plans a premium TV reboot of the 2002 cult film 'Paid in Full' set in 1980s Harlem, with Cam'ron as co-executive producer amid controversy from original producer Dame Dash.
- On September 8, 2025, rapper and producer 50 Cent announced that he had acquired the rights to the 2002 Harlem crime drama Paid in Full and plans to adapt the film into a high-end TV series.

- The original film, directed by Charles Stone III and produced by Damon Dash and Jay-Z, starred Cam'ron, Wood Harris, and Mekhi Phifer and depicted Harlem's 1980s drug trade, becoming a hip-hop cult classic.
- 50 Cent publicly stated, “I now have the rights to PAID IN FULL” and that he is “developing it into a premium TV show,” with Cam'ron joining as executive producer alongside him.
- The development suggests the series could revive Harlem’s legacy for new audiences and represents a notable shift of the franchise’s control away from Damon Dash amid ongoing tensions between Dash and Cam'ron.
