On his Instagram Stories, he showed an image of a brown leather Il Bisonte wallet prepared ahead of production that featured the title of his film and his credentials.
On our way to Puerto Rico to prepare for pre-production,’ Emmett said. ‘Excited … I got this.’
Emmett was in the headlines last April after 50 Cent, who he worked with on the show Power, called him out online over a $1 million debt, and engaged in a vicious war of words with Kent, as well.
The rapper posted screengrabs of his exchange with the producer, which caught attention after Emmett mistakenly called the rapper ‘Fofty.’
Speaking on What What Happens Live last summer, the In da Club rapper said that the spelling error was just a typo and not a nickname or inside joke.
‘He was speeding, going fast,’ he said of Emmett’s texting.
