“Creative differences” have led to rapper Kid Cudi’s departure from Fox’s Empire TV show.
Cudi was cast to play the role of Gram, a character who is Hakeem Lyon’s rival and the new love interest for Tiana.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the role of Gram will now be played by Romeo Miller, actor and son of No Limit Records founder, Master P. Miller started in the public eye early as the child rapper known as Lil Romeo.
As a result of Cudi’s sudden departure, and due to the fact that Season 3 of Empire is only weeks away from airing, re-shoots with Romeo will likely be required.
Although Cudi hasn’t addressed his exit on social media, earlier this week Romeo uploaded a photo of himself with the caption “Uh ohhh #empire” on Instagram.
No stranger to film, Romeo has appeared in a number of television shows and movies, including Survivor’s Remorse and Jumping The Broom.
Season 3 of Empire is set to air on Wednesday, September 21 at 9 PM EST on Fox.
Maybe this should be the sign to Cudi that he needs to focus on music – specifically HIP HOP music. Go back in the studio and give us another Man On The Moon album.
He said Man on the moon 3 is never happening because no one supported speedin bullet 2 heaven or something along those lines. I thought he had 2 albums coming. One of which was supposed to be dropping soon and it is hip hop I believe.
He’s not going to give us Man On The Moon 3 until he’s forced to do so. He’s aware that’s what most labels and fans want to hear from him, yet this is a double-edged sword as a flop would mean his career is done. He thought he has crossover potential, tried to be bigger than Hip-Hop and he failed miserably. So it’s time to return to his roots instead of alienating further his core fans before they all leave.
Cudi is, IMO, one of the most overrated in the game. Just a bunch of off-moaning on every record. Has better features on other’s projects than his own albums.
You probably just cant relate especially if thats all you get out of his music. your’re just a bunch of complaining on every comment.
Like how do you have creative differences in a show you have no stakes in and has a winning formula? Go in, do your job, get paid. Man on the moon needs to be brought back to earth. I can’t apply to McDonalds and quit bc of creative differences smh
Fuck fox
Stop watching this show long ago but I willing to bet this had something to do with kissing a man. Empire is super homo
