Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon
In March 2020, rapper 50 Cent said on his Instagram account that he had been listening to Pop Smoke's music and had chosen to work as executive producer on the late artist's new album. As the executive producer, 50 Cent contacted Roddy Ricch, Drake, and Chris Brown to see if they wanted to appear on the album. During an Instagram live a few weeks later, 50 Cent remembered a meeting he had with Pop Smoke in an office for the first time. When 50 Cent stood up, he saw that Pop Smoke was writing down everything he said on his phone. 50 Cent said that he had "fallen in love" with Pop Smoke and that he would executive produce his album. In a later interview with Billboard, 50 Cent explained that he would not be paid as the album's executive producer since he wanted to finish it because of his relationship with Pop Smoke. Following the end of the production, 50 Cent helped Pop Smoke in honoring his wish to take his mother to an awards show. In January 2020, Pop Smoke began creating the Shoot for the Stars Foundation to assist young people in reaching their goals due to living and growing up in tough situations by providing access to technology and other tools. Pop Smoke's family announced that the foundation would continue after his death.
