The rapper and vitamin water mogul, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has just signed on to join Melissa McCarthy in the upcoming secret agent comedy _Spy_. The film, which also stars Jason Statham and Jude Law, is about a CIA analyst (McCarthy) who heads out into the field for the first time. The project is being helmed by writer/ director Paul Feig of _Bridesmaids_ fame. There’s no word yet on how large 50’s role will be, though [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/50-cent-joins-melissa-mccarthys-692779) says he will be playing himself. The rapper has been working pretty steadily in Hollywood since his movie debut in 2005’s _Get Rich or Die Tryin’_. More recently, he played a computer whiz in 2013’s _Escape Plan_ with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he just finished shooting _The Prince_, a crime thriller with Bruce Willis. \[[THR](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/50-cent-joins-melissa-mccarthys-692779)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/46578/50-cent-spy-melissa-mccarthy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/46578/50-cent-spy-melissa-mccarthy/"},"headline":"50 Cent Joins Cast of Melissa McCarthy's Spy","datePublished":"2014-04-02T12:46:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:05:18.921Z","description":"The rapper will play himself in the secret agent comedy directed by Paul Feig of \"Bridesmaids\" fame","url":"https://time.com/46578/50-cent-spy-melissa-mccarthy/","keywords":["movies","spy","melissa mccarthy","50 Cent"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4fc7639b65b3ddbe/69868877f983e74af004d14f/480808651.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4fc7639b65b3ddbe/69868877f983e74af004d14f/480808651.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Noah\" New York Premiere - Outside Arrivals","caption":"\"Noah\" New York Premiere - Outside Arrivals","creditText":"Jim Spellman -- WireImage / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/46578/50-cent-spy-melissa-mccarthy/","name":"50 Cent Joins Cast of Melissa McCarthy's Spy"}}]}] ```
