50 Cent Blasts “Empire” For Biting “Power”

    50 Cent’s endeavors are wide-spread, especially lately, as music has taken a secondary position for the G-Unit rapper.

    50 is also someone known to speak his mind when he sees things or people he doesn’t quite agree with. Recently taking to Instagram, the Queens native took a shot at the FOX television series Empire, claiming the show’s advertising is too similar to that of Power, the Starz series he is Executive Producer of.

    “POWER Season 2 is unbelievably good trust me,” he said in the social media post containing video of a Power advertisement. “I have the best writers and show runner. I like Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson. I don’t like that They would copy the Marketing.” In a previous post, 50 Cent displays a picture of both Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson and asks women who they like more. “Empire VS. Power LADIES what’s up you be the judge. LMAO.”

    Power will be in its second season when it premieres next year. The show was created by Courtney Kemp Agboh and ran its first episode last June. 50 Cent is a reoccurring character in the series, appearing as Kanan.

    1. Power has been very successful so it was obvious people were going to do something similar

      Thats what happens with any type of success. People try to copy.

    2. 50 Cent is gay for posting that first picture. Why are you comparing men? You think the one in your show is cuter? Homo thug.

      1. Co-sign. I thought this was a very suspect post. Dudes aint supposed to compare pics of guys, smh. Thats gay man, thats gay all the way.

      2. I guess you morons didn’t read the caption. He clearly said that it’s up for the ladies to judge. Or maybe yall are just closet homos in which case I won’t judge, its 2014.

      3. “I guess you morons didn’t read the caption. He clearly said that it’s up for the ladies to judge”……………Stfu simple ass. that doesnt make his comment any less gay, fuckin dick riding bitch. He is pointing out that he thinks one dude looks better than the other and asks the ladies to judge, thats some fag shit right there.

        Funny how you butthurt whiteboy 50 stans think your idol cant do no wrong, smh.

    3. WHICH WAY IZ WEST ALBUM COVER FOR MC EIHT’S NEW ALBUM COMING IN 2015 WITH DJ PREMIER AND BRENK SINATRA ON EIHT’S TWITTER PAGE GEAAAAH IT’S A COMPTON THANG , THE STREIHT UP MENACE IS BACK AT IT AGAIN . CMW 4 LIFE AND IT’S THICKER THAN WATER BABY ME AND YOU . RIDE WITH THE ORIGINAL WESTCOAST ARTIST

      1. been an eiht fan since the 90’s but this is eiht’s “detox” bro. shit with preemo ain’t never gonna see the light of day as long as he’s making lp’s with cats like royce. would love to see it though

    4. I thought the same when i saw the trailers for “Empire.” Power suprised me and turned out to be really good. Empire has potential, but it does look like it is biting Power, and it is on Fox so i’ll probably pass

    5. “In a previous post, 50 Cent displays a picture of both Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson”…. dx fails again, one of them is omari hardwick or whateva

    6. I thought the same thing when I saw the commercial for Empire. Even the font of the text in the Empire logo…it looks exactly like how the Power logo was presented

    7. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Let’s be real. In the entertainment business no idea is truly original anymore. With the success of Power it’s bound for the big networks to try and recreate that success. Funny that he would critique a show with some of his friends. Terrence was obviously in GRODT and Timbo teamed up with him on the headphones. I’m looking forward to Empire and also the new season of Power. With so much garbage on the TV IMO having 2 good shows with a music theme are cool.

    8. Lol@ “Empires Rise, Empires Fall.” I like that. Total ripoff that I have no desire to watch. And Taraji stays looking like she’s always tired and just woke up.
