50 Cent’s “Power” Re-Ups With STARZ Following Rocky Few Months

    50 Cent and premium cable network STARZ appear to be back on good terms following a seemingly hostile few months in their relationship.

    Fif, who serves as the executive producer of the network’s hit series Power, took to Instagram Tuesday (September 5) to announce that there will be less of a wait for the show’s fifth season and to thank STARZ for their support (and their money).

    50’s latest remarks symbolize a change in direction from the antagonistic comments he’s made about the network on social media.

    In late July, 50 threatened to leave Power for the second time after the show’s creator, Courtney A. Kemp, revealed that some of the storylines for the fourth season had to be cut since STARZ refused to greenlight two extra episodes, despite Kemp’s wishes.

    In mid-August, the final three episodes of Power’s fourth season leaked online. 50 later claimed that STARZ believed he had orchestrated the leak before seemingly fessing up it days later.

    How much of 50’s antics are just part of his well-known troll persona on social media is still up for debate, but either way, he knows how to stir up interest in the show.

    Despite the seemingly hostile relationship between 50 Cent and STARZ, Power continues to be a hit with audiences across the country. Earlier this year it was revealed that Power was second only to HBO’s flagship show Game of Thrones in terms of premium cable show ratings. The premiere episode of Power’s third season racked up 2.26 million viewers — the highest ever for the STARZ network.

    1. Dre now has the “Power” and he untouchable. Tommy, Ghost, and Kanan will have their hands full trying to stop him! Gang rivalries and Councilman Tate’s dirty dealings is gonna make season 5 explosive! lol

      1. Dre has the Power? Untouchable? What show are you watching, Kanan, Ghost, and Tommy just went Squad UP and Tommy got the Italians on his team. Has Dre even caught a body yet? That snake is dead soon as Season 5 start, mark my words

          1. Everybody. Just need to watch the show and enjoy it for what it is entertainment you can’t compare none of that to the wire or scar face or menace 2 society or belly all of them are different but have certain similar parts that we connect with

      2. Shiddd, Dre been caught a body since season 1. He killed that little Spanish assassin chick, in the pick kicks. Ghost was suppose to kill her but got the to late. Only to watch her die.

    2. 50 has a hit show. He should actually take this seriously and become a TV/movie exec. Alot of money in film. His rap career is history, new chapter

      1. Raina got shot and murdered and nobody cried. Pretty weak. How can anybody enjoy a character that has no love for their child

      1. How do you figure that? I don’t see any similarities at all. Power has gotten more and more soap opera-ish in my opinion. I thought this season was awful.

        1. Why do people keep comparing this show to the Wire??? No one from Power came out and said that is the type of show they were trying to make. Maybe that’s why it’s nothing like the Wire. If you fools would stop trying to put the two in competiton with each other maybe you could enjoy it for what it is. If you want the Wire go watch the Wire..,it’s that easy. Power is entertaining, compelling, and has minorities in leading roles which is exciting. Power is closer to Scarface than it is The Godfather and there’s nothing wrong with that

          1. U are so right! Why complain and dislike a tv show when u can turn the channel and talk positive about the one u like, just dumb!

          2. All those talented Black people working! And not big names. Just young Blacks who needed a chance. Can’t beat that.

          3. Emotional?? You like the show you have a right to say you like it, for the ones that don’t they have right to say they don’t and critique it. Most of the people above were only responding to one guy comparing it to the wire.

    3. This fairy tale has gone on way to long this last season was fill with some real make believe for a drug dealer wit a club hurry up and end this madness its become to make believe

      1. what do you think television is dumbass, make believe, scripted stories, it’s not a documentary. If you don’t like the show WHY THE F YOU HERE ??

    4. Even if you are a huge fan you gotta admit power is running out of gas, the story lines are starting to became unrealistic and predictable. This season by far was the my least favorite, Also been watching Ray Donovan

      1. TV-shows are meant to be entertaining, real life isn’t unrealistic. Power is a great show, not perfect – but I’m still hyped to see the upcoming season. Ray Donovan is one example of a show that never, never, NEVER ever had any “gas”, it has some really amazing actors, but the execution was always shit. I actually tried so hard to like the show that I watched three (and about half of the 4th) seasons of it. It’s obvious it will never get good, so no reason to keep watching it anymore.

        1. Last episode of power was GARBAGE SUN!! BASURRRA B! The little girl died and not one fucking tear? Now bitch ass Tariq a killer? FOH I’m done with this weak ass show

    5. 50 MASTERS THE ART OF NEGOTIATION..I JUST MOVED IN AND SLEPT ON MY NEW RUG
      MY PILLOW…. 50X50….POWER!!!
      LETS GO!

    6. For my own selfish reasons im glad its staying on STARZ.
      im not a fan of BET when it comes down to movies or Shows like Power.
      They water down shows way too much
      Power is too good of a show.. im thrilled its staying put…

    7. I’m definitely happy 50 kept show on STARZ, BET is phony Black entertainment. I say that because they don’t really show our True Black Entertainment like: Porgy and Bess, all of the movies Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee made back in the day. Can we at least get some BUCK & THE PREACHER??! Sheesh even AMC showed that. Good move 50.

    8. I don’t get into arguing opinions, but some you are changing the facts. “Raina died and nobody cried?” Tasha cried. Tariq cried. Y’all watching the same show? Same ones complaining the show’s become a soap opera are mad that everybody’s not in tears. Make up your minds.

      1. lol, word…these people here complains about everything, haters always find the dumbest reasons to hate…if a ganster rapper dont bust his guns they pu$$ies, if they do they dumb, just because they dont like them.

        go watch all my children, plenty if tears
