50 Cent is diving into podcasting. The rapper will host a podcast about famed former Mexican drug lord, El Chapo, tentatively titled Cuate/twin/: The Downfall of El Chapo. The podcast will launch as part of Lionsgate's new podcast division, Lionsgate Sound, and is part of 50's G Unit Audio, which is exclusively distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network.

"New heat on the way," 50 wrote in a post. "If you liked Narcos, you're gonna be blown away by The Flores Twins."

The Flores Twins testified against Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman in exchange for lighter prison sentences. 50 caught some heat from fans who criticized him for hosting a show about "rats" to which 50 replied, "Remember this movie [American Gangster]? It was fire right? Denzel playing Frank Lucas who was a rat."

50 Cent also recently announced he's working on a series that chronicles Snoop Dogg's 1993 murder case.

“I’m afraid this is going to be a problem for everything on TV," 50 Tweeted. “[Murder Was The Case was] A moment in time when the dream you have been wishing for feels like a nightmare. You think you know you have no idea.@snoopdogg story is crazy BOOM Green Light Gang I don’t miss.”
