There has been ALOT of SPECULATION about the future of ‘BMF’ on Starz.
Here is the reason for the SPECULATION:
Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
- 50 Cent’s Involvement: 50 Cent is an executive producer of the BMF series and owns the TV and film rights to the Black Mafia Family story.
- The Feud: 50 Cent has been publicly feuding with Rick Ross and Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, the real-life inspiration for the series.
- Big Meech’s “Welcome Back” Concert: A concert for Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory was canceled, and 50 Cent claimed he had nothing to do with it.
- Rick Ross’s Response: Rick Ross has responded to 50 Cent’s comments, further intensifying the dispute.
- Speculation about BMF Cancellation: Some fans and media outlets have speculated that 50 Cent’s frustration could lead to the show’s cancellation, but there’s no official confirmation.
- 50 Cent’s cryptic comments: In a now-deleted Instagram exchange, 50 Cent hinted at the possibility of no next season for BMF. When Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., who stars in the series, tried to smooth things over, 50 Cent’s response was cryptic: “What next season?”
But wait! Season 4 has been filmed, edited and readied for a summer release… so we will AT LEAST get that. 50 is BUSINESS man at the end of the day. Do you really think he is going to put THAT much money into something and not get anything out of it?? Well we have a release date and a TRAILER!
The OFFICIAL synopsis for the upcoming season reveals a thrilling new chapter for the Flenory brothers:
“Meech (Demetrius Flenory Jr.) and Terry (Da’Vinchi) narrowly cheat death while on the run with their plug south of the border,” it reads. “During the trip, Meech also learns of a prophecy that predicts his continued rise in the game, leading him to believe he is unstoppable–possibly at his peril.”
Let’s dive in a bit … The story shows how the business continue to grow, where the brothers will venture far beyond their hometown roots, with the synopsis adding, “Viewers will see Meech and Terry traverse the continent as their business expands, from their roots in Atlanta and Detroit to the streets of St. Louis, and the palm tree-lined boulevards of Los Angeles.” Meanwhile, Markisha (La La Anthony) is determined to prove herself in the business world and will seek to carve out her own role in the game, “wanting to be taken seriously as Terry’s business partner.”
Get this, on the family front, Lucille (Michole Briana White) and Charles (Russell Hornsby) continue to navigate the fallout of their divorce, both financially and emotionally, while co-parenting their daughter Nicole (Laila D. Pruitt). A new challenge also arises as Nicole introduces more complications to their already complex situation. Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), still reeling from the loss of his son, remains focused on taking down the Black Mafia Family, using his grief as fuel for his pursuit.
The highly anticipated season premiere continues to be executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, alongside creator and executive producer Randy Huggins, a Detroit native. Last season, BMF averaged nearly 10 million multiplatform viewers, solidifying its place as one of the most-watched shows on Starz.
Even 50 thinks this season will be DOPE:

BMF is back on the run when Season 4 premieres Friday, June 6, at 9/8c on Starz and streaming weekly on the Starz app and VoD platforms.
After that! I’m pretty sure we will get NO MORE!! But one last HURRAH is coming this summer!
