According to TMZ, 50 Cent, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenya Barris are all teaming up to possibly purchase BET. Furthermore, 50 and Kenya were reportedly spotted at the Paramount offices in NYC earlier this week, to speak about the possibility of purchasing the network.
As a result, 50, Kenya and Shaq are said to be ready to put an offer in, and also have investment help from CVC. Regarding the current station of this bid, one source told TMZ “It’s not a done deal, but they’re deep in it.” 50 also confirmed his interest in purchasing BET, in an Instagram post, on Saturday.
