Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s upcoming Starz Original Series, “Black Mafia Family,” has chosen its star protagonist. Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., son of notorious cocaine kingpin and southwest Detroit legend Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory will make his acting debut portraying his father. Inspired by the true story of one of the most influential crime families in the country, “Black Mafia Family” will delve into the origins of the mafia in the late 1980s, and how the pursual of the American dream eventually leads the operation to branch out from national drug distribution to hip-hop in the early 2000s.

Detroit native Randy Huggins will executive produce alongside Jackson.
