Recently, 50 Cent took to Instagram to post not one but two images suggesting that he was directly involved with the production of something called ‘Vice City’. In these posts, he’d used images pulled from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, sending the gaming community wild with the belief that he was potentially connected to GTA 6, which is assumedly set in Vice City.

Since then, the posts have been removed, and it has been confirmed by Deadline that Fiddy is actually directly linked with the production of an all-new original television series named – you guessed it – Vice City. However, it isn’t connected with the Grand Theft Auto game, despite bearing many similarities to the 2002 open-world epic.

At present, Vice City is a working title, but there’s already a synopsis that was highlighted by Deadline:

“Vice City follows three friends, and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid-80s after being dishonourably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal. Disgraced, displaced, and forgotten by the country they served and with no good job prospects, the three friends partner with a mysterious Colombian immigrant, uniting their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew. Fueled by the need for American green, they traverse a violent and dangerous path in pursuit of the American Dream.”
