Bryce Hall has spoken out following a legal dispute involving rapper 50 Cent, claiming the music mogul attempted to block the release of their upcoming horror film Skill House just days before its premiere.
The TikTok influencer told The US Sun, “He was essentially trying to hold us hostage for $5 million before the movie could come out.”
50 Cent reportedly filed a lawsuit alleging unauthorised use of his name, image and voice without compensation. A judge denied the request for a preliminary injunction, allowing the film’s July 11 release to proceed. The case itself remains ongoing.
Hall, who stars in the film alongside 50 Cent, expressed surprise at the situation. “We beat him in court a few days ago and now I can promote the movie and everything’s fine,” he said, adding that the rapper had been “extremely nice” on set.
Directed by creators behind the Saw franchise, Skill House depicts influencers trapped in a competition for views—where the lowest-ranking participant meets a gruesome end. “I feel like people will do really demoralising things for views… this kind of highlights that, except obviously exaggerated,” said Hall.
Despite the dispute, Hall said he hopes to continue working in film, combining his influencer presence with acting roles. “Obviously we had some bumps in the road with 50, but it was a really fun experience and I’d love to continue.”
