DaBaby Wants Acting Role Alongside 50 Cent ‘Before It’s All Over’
DaBaby Wants Acting Role Alongside 50 Cent ‘Before It’s All Over’
It looks like DaBaby might be the next rapper-turned-actor in Hollywood.
Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, known professionally as DaBaby, wants to share the small screen with entertainment mogul 50 Cent. The North Carolina native recently hopped into 50 Cent’s comment section on Instagram to shoot his acting debut shot.
On Monday (Oct. 2), actor 50 Cent shared a memorable clip from his Starz series Power, where he portrayed the antagonistic role of Kanan Stark. His caption read,
“POWER. This scene was cold-blooded, I put a different energy in this one but I think Cassius Dawkins was harder then Kanan. What you think?

Fans wasted no time responding to the post, including DaBaby, who boldly stated,
“I gotta play a role on the screen wit you before it’s all over,”
Many of DaBaby’s supporters replied with words of encouragement:
Despite DaBaby taking to IG to reach out to 50, it’s important to note that they already have a close bond. In 2021, 50 took DaBaby under his wing and vowed to help him navigate his music career and personal life. More recently, In July of this year, DaBaby publicly expressed his love and gratitude for 50 in a heartfelt Instagram birthday post. He referred to the rapper as a “walking blessing” and added,
“[I] tell you once a month you the last role model I got left…Love for life bruh”
If given the chance to make his acting debut in a 50 Cent project, DaBaby wouldn’t be the first rapper to do so. Kendrick Lamar’s bond with 50 reportedly helped him make his first on-screen appearance. In 2018, the Grammy winner casually mentioned to 50 Cent that he’d “like” to be on the show, and the Power co-creator made it happen.
There has yet to be a public response to DaBaby’s request, but given 50’s track record of giving those close to him their big acting break, we may see DaBaby in the Power Universe soon.
