50 Cent is going off on Taraji P. Henson and her show ‘Empire’ but he just took it to the next level by publically claiming Jussie Smollett is the reason for the show not returning to the airways.
It all went down on Instagram, where 50 posted a message calling out TPH for statements she made on T.I’s podcast. So, he decided to troll her pointing out how bad the Jussie Smollett situation was for the show.
Leading up to Taraji’s interview with T.I, 50 had made statements comparing his show ‘Power’ to her show ‘Empire’ and she was upset about it.
“I saw @tarajiphenson on @troubleman31 podcast, this is my sincere apology I did not mean to hurt your feelings in anyway. I love your work and I think you are amazing. I’m sorry no one is watching your show anymore. I realize I have to work on the fact that I have less empathy then others,” he wrote on Instagram.
He continued, “I have met with the top executives at Fox and sold them (The Notorious Cop) it’s the show that is replacing yours:worried: but I really want to work with you. I mean your awesome we would work well together, but if you don’t like the idea I understand if you don’t roll with me, your gonna get rolled the f*** over.”
50 Cent took it a step further posting another message later in the day, trolling Taraji over the Jussie Smollett scandal and blaming it for ending ‘Empire.’
“@tarajiphenson i didn’t destroy your show it destroyed itself, he wrote alongside a picture of TPH and Jussie Smollett.
He continued, “i hope you accept my sincere apology, forever your fan and friend Fofty. ps i’m looking forward to working with you, or watching you watch me work.”
So why all the beef?
Earlier this year, 50 posted several quotes on Instagram alleging ‘Empire’ may have jacked the marketing strategy of his TV show, saying, “‘Power’ season 2 is unbelievably good trust me. I have the best writers and showrunner. I like Terrence Howard and Taraji Henson. I don’t like that they would copy the marketing.”
