Curtis 50 Cent, the American rapper and producer born James Jackson III, has announced plans to create a film series based on the notorious Nigerian internet fraudster Ramon Abass.

Abass, better known as Hushpuppi, was arrested in June 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for defrauding over 1.9 million people, the majority of whom were Americans.

On July 3, the same year, he was extradited to the United States for trial.

As previously reported by HOTJIST, Hushpuppi was sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison on Monday by a United States District Court sitting in the Central District of California after being found guilty of laundering proceeds from a school financing scam, business email compromise, and other fraudulent activities.

The 37-year-old had previously pled guilty to the charges brought against him during the trial.

Sharing images of the convict, 50 Cent announced on Wednesday via his Instagram account that he was working on a film project based on Hushpuppi’s story.

“For my scammers, I gotta do this one,” the G-Unit Records founder wrote in the caption. The Hushpuppi series will begin soon! I don’t miss GLG, Green Light Gang. #Bransoncognac #lecheminduroi #gunitfilmandtv
