50 Cent is expanding into the podcast industry as the host of a new series about the downfall of the incarcerated Mexican drug lord Joaqun El Chapo Guzmn. According to Deadline, the Queens rap legend has been tapped to helm the tentatively titled Cuate/twin: The Downfall of El Chapo, which centers on the two former drug traffickers who helped take El Chapo down. Speaking publicly for the first time ever, Chicago-born identical twins Peter and Jay Flores will take listeners on a journey through their meteoric rise to becoming two of the biggest drug traffickers in America, the synopsis reads. Peddling tons of cocaine across the country, these two would go on to be seated at the right hand of the most wanted man in the world: El Chapo himself. In a stunning turn of events, the twins betray El Chapo in a desperate attempt to escape the only life theyve ever known. But is escape ever really possible? Cuate/twin: The Downfall of El Chapo, which is also produced by 50 Cent and his newly established G-Unit Audio company, will be exclusively distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network.
