50 Cent’s Power (HipHopDX’s best TV show of 2017) has been a hit for Starz, but the final days of the series may be rapidly approaching — at least for some TV subscribers in the New York area.
Power viewership is in danger because Optimum, the cable company owned by Altice USA, has dropped Starz from its service. 50 has taken to Instagram to rouse fans into showing their support for the show, and as an extension, the Starz network itself.
“I was trying to bring the show back early this year now this,” the caption reads. “You have to call in to Optimum they are holding up your show.”
Later, 50 insinuated that Power’s predominantly black cast played a role in Starz getting dropped.
“Optimum doesn’t think POWER is good enough after all the success of the show,” he wrote. “I guess it’s the wrong color faces in the picture again.”
How this impacts the show’s future remains to be seen. For now, 50 has turned his focus to his new film Den Of Thieves, which comes out on January 19.
I think he fine as hell.. I would munch on his butthole all day everyday.
Me too
When i find out where you live i will beat your ass you fuckin black asshole why you using my name you piece of turd.
Look in the mirror. I was there the whole time.
So just because 1 cable company of MANY wants to drop starz which has HUNDREDS of shows and movies in any given month its a beef against power? And its even a beef against black people? Pretty pathetic and selfish and ignorant as fuck… considering most people are not paying for HBO starz or cinemax anymore because streaming services or playstation store and xbox store for movies streaming doesnt have…but i forgot anytime anyone oposes a black persons desires suggestion or word its racism
I get my nuanced view on issues of race and racism thanks to my wife getting constantly nailed by black guys, in case any of you were wondering.
I love POWER!! It’s so good! They can’t take another good show? House if cards, Veep. ?
In business bottom line is green its very obvious that starz is falling off or the fact many have dropped cable over the high prices power maybe the only good show but not strong enough to make enough capital for Ny market keep it on many more will follow , To be honest power has kind of run its course, put BMF out just another drug dealer show to let it run its course it will die out to
Got Damit man power is what’s happening put theshowback on !!!!!????????
Power is the best show that starz will have .I do go along with fif is it the color of faces in the movie or it’s high. Rated for you starz watchers fuck ass Bitches
@Djf: calling people “ black asshole” and complaining about black people yet, you’re on a HIP HOP website??? Bro if we’re so bad,why even listen to OUR music??? The only good rapper y’all got is Eminem and he hasn’t dropped a good album since the 8 mile/Eminem show era literally 15 years ago. Cut the crap!!
I’m really sorry for being a racist asshole. I’m on this website because I have no friends and I’m broke and insecure and angry and this is the only thing that makes me feel better. I didn’t want to hurt others doing it… I just wanted to hurt a little less. But it’s still so empty inside and I still feel so terribly alone, and now I see that I’ve hurt others. Forgive me, I beg of you. I’m so sorry.
Go back to Africa, spear chucker.
Fuck you pussy. It’s racist mf like you that divide the country spewin that devil shit. #fuckboyshit
Thanks for showing you are really just a idiot that has no say in our legitimate world & culture we have today…you said it n we look even better because of it. Let them keep talking sooner they’re no love for themselves will be shinning.thx good!
LET THEM GO JUST BRING POWER TO BET!
It can’t go to BET power is to raw and uncut for prime time TV. It’s fucking on power the show would have to water down for BET
HELL NO!!! The show is good on a premium channel!… If they put this show on BET it’ll be ruined!
Think about it… About three commercial breaks per show, adds up to 15+ mins, which means that they’ll have to cut the show short.
Not to mention the cursing and violence will be watered down to almost non-existence!
All these things make the show what it is… To put it on BET would be a death knell for Power.
It’s too powerful of a show too touch ankles for these jealous billionaires…stand up New York!
This is a business decision by Optimum because of Trump’s FCC Chairmen’s Net Neutrality changes is squeezing the amount of time the Optimum broadband space. Trust me they would love to keep the show Power on but with the changes that are coming down the pipe and New York surcharges on bandwidth, it will be impossible for them to get the best for each showing. Maybe Power might have to go through Netflix or Amazon or Youtube TV until Trump leaves the White house!
Who pays for cable anyway…its 2018 get you a firestick….
Yes it is I don’t have it
What about frontier
You can literally get starz on any smart TV or streaming device or even your phone right? With a $8 subscription. Who needs cable
Racism also just happens…heads keep turning n makes some just as ignorant as the ones shutting down another show that puts real life in your living room….I said it!!
Hey idiots who don’t know bussiness, if tbey cancel starzs then how the hell will you watch it on a app if the whole network is canceled?? Use your brain!
