“You don’t want to get on his bad side.”

The series, set in 1990s New York, follows a young Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) as he navigates his family’s drug empire. Jackson’s cameo adds star power to the critically acclaimed show, which has already amassed a loyal fanbase. His Instagram post about the role racked up over 200,000 likes, with fans buzzing about his unexpected career detour.

Jackson’s move mirrors a growing trend of athletes testing Hollywood’s waters, from Dwayne Johnson to Terry Crews. Yet, for Travis Kelce, the timing is poignant. As he fights to prove he’s still elite, Jackson’s rising profile—both on and off the field—serves as a reminder that an athlete’s influence extends beyond touchdowns. For Chiefs fans, the hope is that Kelce channels this pressure into another championship run. After all, in the NFL—and now Hollywood—nobody stays on top forever.
