‘What Exactly Made Them Do It?’

With 50 Ways to Catch a Killer, 50 Cent enters the ‘exciting’ world of true crime

- With reporting by Mike Vulpo & Amanda Williams

He's made a killing in so many arenas, 50 Cent's latest project makes total sense: The actor/producer/hip-hop legend/entrepreneur hosts Fox Nation's new true crime series 50 Ways to Catch a Killer (all six episodes streaming now). The multihyphenate (real name: Curtis Jackson), 50, opens a case file for Us.

Are you a big true crime fan?

Yeah, I've always appreciated [it, especially] when I'm traveling and away from the apps on my television. I try to figure out what's happening in the show before it happens. The cases I was able to pick [for my series] had facts that were stranger than fiction, and I was wrong a lot about what was going on.
