50 Cent has announced his plan to make a documentary about Luigi Mangione — the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Fif posted a picture of a portion of Mangione’s alleged manifesto, along with a caption expressing how he finds the suspect not only intriguing but also likable.

“I don’t know, I kinda like this killer,” he wrote. “I’m sorry this is going this way it is but I’m doing a documentary on him, he is special! I apologize in advance for anyone who doesn’t understand.”

The portion of the alleged manifesto that Fif posted, reads, “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, and a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it.”

In the full alleged manifesto shared by journalist Ken Klippenstein, Mangione opens up more about the crime. “Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy,” he wrote.

“It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play,” he wrote later in the message. “Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Mangione allegedly shot and killed Thompson in New York city on Dec. 4 in a targeted hit. On a shell casing found at the scene of the shooting, the words 'deny,' 'defend,' and 'depose' were written — three words that are commonly used in the world of healthcare insurance.

Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Dec. 9. Law enforcement officers found an untraceable firearm also known as a “ghost gun” along with a “manifesto” on him at the time of his arrest.
