50 Cent is feeling somewhat justified in light of the news that Mark Zuckerberg reportedly increasing his investment in Louisiana through Meta, the company he co-founded.

"I told yall all roads lead to Shreveport," 50 wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post, as reported by HipHopDX.

The entertainment and TV mogul may have deleted the post because reports seem to suggest that the planned Meta data center will be in Richland Parish, not Shreveport.

According to the Shreveport Times, President Donald Trump revealed in a cabinet meeting last week that Meta has increased its investment in the northeastern Louisiana project from $10 billion to $50 billion. Trump showed a picture of the purposed Meta AI Data Center superimposed over Manhattan as a way of rationalizing the expanded investment.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry shared a video of Trump's remarks and proclaimed his state will "lead in AI development."

While the Meta AI Data Center may not be located in Shreveport, 50 Cent has certainly struck while the iron is hot in the state of Louisiana.

50 announced the launch of G-Unit Studios in Shreveport last year, along with the hashtag #allroadsleadtoshreveport.

After the Shreveport City Council voted unanimously to approve the 30-year lease agreement for G-Unit Studios, 50 visited the city to make it official in March.

50 doubled down on his commitment to Shreveport last year by announcing the arrival of a temporary structure known as the G-Dome, seemingly inspired by the Sphere in Las Vegas. Shreveport Times reported last month that construction on a permanent G-Dome is underway in the city's downtown.
