50 Cent says HBO, Showtime, Paramount, and Hulu passed on "Power."
He used music to help pitch the show after an initial round of rejections.
Jackson said he and Courtney Kemp pitched the show to HBO, Showtime, Paramount, and Hulu — but they all passed.
He said he got paid $17,000 an episode to act, executive produce, and make music for the show.
Jackson is also a producer on the Starz show "BMF" and previously had an overall deal with the network.
