Cage for Fiddy The rapper has added a new area to his business portfolio with the foundation of Cheetah Vision
He announced news of the business at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah and confirmed plans to work with eight new scripts.
These are expected to kick-off with "The Dance", which will see Fiddy appearing alongside the Hollywood star.
"He plays the founder of a boxing program, and I play a fighter who goes to state prison", he explained.
Discussing the decision to expand his business during the credit crunch, Fiddy said he was confident of success.
"I don't think it will affect me as much as it will the other people that are out there because I'm not afraid to finance some of these things myself if I have to", he said.
