50 Cent Placed Him in Acting Classes For 2 Years to Help Prepare Him For His Role

Rapper and executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has been known to be a mentor to the young actors that star in his many shows, and Demetrius was no different. In fact, the 21-year-old actor revealed in an interview with The Grio that 50 Cent put him in acting classes for two years so he could properly train for his acting debut. "He made sure, you know, I had the foundational acting before I just jumped out there on screen and didn't have any acting experience, you know, as far as any classes," said Demetrius. "(I took) intense acting classes, five days a week, (sometimes) two times a day, for two years."
