According to Deadline, he’s producing a comedy with ABC that’s inspired by her experiences, called The Hustle (that’s a working title). 

The show already has a director and producers attached to it who have worked on successful shows and films. Kudos to Puff for landing a deal with a major network like ABC. Plus, the premise of the show, watching a small-town girl cope and get used to his lifestyle, should be fun and interesting.
