Preliminary terms of the proposed deal include:
- The multi-platinum 50 Cent and his G-Unit artists will move to a new G-Unit label created under MySpace Records.
- all of 50's concert touring would be marketed and sold through a newly created News Corp entity;
- 50's website Thisis50 will be acquired and run by News Corp;
- in addition, 50 would get his own production studio to put out film and tv projects.
The $300M cash and stock will make 50 Cent one of the largest shareholders of News Corp. when the deal is done.
