Omari Hardwick, who plays James “Ghost” St. Patrick in Power, the Starz television series that is executive produced by 50 Cent, recently spoke about the rapper’s role in the series.
“It was pretty amazing,” Hardwick says during an interview with BET’s 106 & Park. “He’s tried… and proven in other parts of his life, as a mogul, as a Rap artist. It was really interesting for me to see him take on the executive producer hat of a show like this. He had done producing before…but to see him be active and take my phone call on the dime…If I’d call and go, ‘We really need you on the set today.’ We have an incredible cast, so it wasn’t just me, it would be me speaking for the cast and going, ‘Folks need your energy today.’ And he’d be down in like 30 minutes. He was really active…He’s great to work with.”
50 Cent recently spoke about the effort with Good Day Philadelphia.
“I’m really proud of this project,” he says. “I’ve been pretty much hands-on and involved with the entire process and I feel like my baby’s born. Omari was the perfect person for it. The stars lined up for me when started going through the casting process. He was the #1 person on the list for us to pick for the show.”
I wasn’t gonna watch this, but it has gotten good reviews, so i gave it a chance and its really good and hopefully naturi naughton takes her cloths off in every episode DAMN
Word i cant front when i seen that episode i couldn’t wait for the next scene. now i’m just thinking how its gonna unfold. and yes naturi is baaaaad!
I will check it out
After giving 50 Cent 2 stars. The DX staff was called by 50 to imediate sucks his dick again with 20 poitnless articles about 50 cent just to promote his wackass album.
they know what the people want
stop hatin.. his album wasn’t Thatt bad
If 50 carries on being directly involved with this show….I give this show 4 episodes…
its already been renewed for a second season before it even premiered! stop hatin.
is 50 paying this site for news coverage or what?
Ol boy (Omari) is only ten years older than Naturi but because she looks younger than her 30 years I think that they made a casting error with her. I liked her acting (especially the bedroom scene), liked the first episode, and have no problem at all with them wanting to put him with a younger female (at least I hope that they did that on purpose and aren’t assuming that we’ll think they’re the same age). I just think she looks TOO young for him.
An Exec producer handles the money, and has zero involvement in the content of the show. This was a money grab, nothing more.
Show is dope as fuck, cant wait for episode 2. Loved the intro with that 50 and Joe song!
Man shut the fuck up.
