While talking to TMZ Sports outside Sweet Butter Kitchen in L.A. on Monday, July 7, 2025, Hall claimed the rapper tried to "hold (them) hostage."
In his interview with the outlet, Hall claimed they "beat" 50 in court. He even went on to add that he would "do it in the ring too," suggesting he would beat the rapper in a boxing match.
For context, the flick is the first for GenTV, a streaming platform by Ryan Kavanaugh. Its premise centered around 10 influencers who are kidnapped and forced to participate in a series of do-or-die social media challenges.
It stars notable online personalities like Hall and Hannah Stocking alongside Fif. According to Deadline, in March 2025, GenTV announced it was set to release it in July.
A few weeks later, 50 Cent sued Kavanaugh and the platform, looking to block the release. He claimed they did not pay him for his role and illegally used his name to promote the film.
In his lawsuit, 50 Cent claimed he filmed scenes for Skillhouse to "avoid unnecessary delay(s)"
In his conversation with TMZ Sports, Bryce Hall speculated that 50 Cent needed the five million he was suing for. He added that the relationship on set was "good."
The influencer also remarked that he hoped to see a bunch of A-list celebrities "doing the dances on the red carpet."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fif sued Ryan Kavanaugh and Gen TV, accusing them of trademark infringement, false advertising, and unfair competition. He was seeking $5 million for the same.
Notably, Kavanaugh, known to finance films like The Social Network, launched the streaming platform last year alongside a nine-minute preview of Skillhouse.
He planned to produce several influencer-led films for GenTV. These would be released as short episodes.
In his lawsuit, 50 Cent claimed he entered into negotiations with Kavanaugh to act in and produce Skillhouse in 2022.
He alleged that while they reached a tentive agreement, no deal was signed by either party.
The rapper claimed he and his son filmed scenes "to avoid unnecessary delay," noting to be used when they worked out the final deal. Quoting the suit, he wrote:
"(He did it) based on a mistaken good-faith belief in Kavanaugh’s promises and reputation."
Despite that, Fif claimed his likeness was used as a centerpiece of their promotional efforts.
Essentially, he claimed that they used the rapper's "reputation and goodwill" to "boost their own film."
Per the outlet, 50 Cent claimed that he would have never associated with the project unless he could provide creative input to ensure it "met his high standards."
He further alleged that he was not paid for his work or using his image.
Elsewhere in the filing, the rapper noted that Skillhouse was being used to promote the streaming platform, GenTV.
He alleged that it directly competed with his own platform, 50 Cent Action (a joint venture with Lionsgate featuring his curation of films from the studio's library).
50 has not publicly commented on the development.
Skillhouse is scheduled for a July 11 release on GenTV.
