Rick Ross ‘BMF’ Film Impossible Because 50 Cent Owns TV & Film Rights

Rick Ross just may want to re-route his plans to bring the “BMF” film to movie theaters … getting the green light may be tricky considering he’d have to ask his No. 1 competition, 50 Cent, for permission!!!

Sources with direct knowledge of the existing contracts tell TMZ Hip Hop that 50 is the sole owner of both the “BMF” stories’ TV and film rights — and nothing is changing!!!

We’re also hearing 50’s G-Unit film division is already deep in production of Tammy Cowins‘ life story to continue the next official phase of his BMF franchise.

Cowins was a friend and business partner of Meech, in addition to being BMF Entertainment’s CEO at one point.

The ship that carried the “BMF” series on Starz looks to have sailed … earlier in the week, 50 rained on lead star Lil Meech‘s parade by posting their text messages while scoffing at the notion of a new season.

It was a moment that even 50’s longtime rival The Game had to have a laugh at!!! 🫣

The bigger Meech and Rick Ross have been hanging tough in Florida since the ex-drug kingpin’s release from prison last fall.

While Ross cannot possibly do anything in the arena of “BMF” films, he still has a movie-making opportunity via Meech’s welcome home concert starring himself, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red and many more.
