50 Cent has been going off on social media now that “Power” was once again ignored by awards shows after another successful season.
After the hit show didn’t receive any nominations for the Golden Globe Awards this year, 50 told his Instagram followers that he’s done with the show.
Variety writes:
The rapper and actor slammed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association via Instagram for once again omitting “Power.” The show, which recently wrapped its third season, has never been nominated for a Golden Globe or any major award show accolade.
50 Cent, who serves as an executive producer and plays the character Kanan, had some less-than-flattering words to say regarding the snub and stated that he will be quitting the show.
“I’m on the move again, the Golden Globes can suck a d-ck,” 50 Cent posted on Instagram. “I accept my series POWER was not intended to be a signature show for the network but it is the highest rated show. I know my audience very well, I’m done promoting this out side of contractual obligations. SEASON 4 KANAN MUST DIE, I got other sh-t to do.”
Responding to Variety‘s request, a spokesperson for Starz said: “We are grateful for the excellent work being done on ‘Power’ by the producers, cast and crew. We certainly think this exceptional show has been overlooked by various awards committees, but the fans have made it the second most watched show on premium cable in 2016…and those are accolades that mean just as much if not more.”
Though the network had nothing to say regarding 50 Cent’s status on future seasons of the show (it’s been renewed for Season 4 and Season 5), an insider tells Variety there is no internal concern and that the rapper/actor is extremely committed to the show.
Of course he ain’t going nowhere. He ain’t stupid. But he needs to chill out with these crybaby rants. We don’t see Omari, Naturi, etc. whining on the gram like this fool, and they actually make the show. Who cares about Kanan?
I can only imagine how annoyed Starz is with him. Awards would be great, but nothing beats great ratings. They don’t really need the validation of awards as long as people are watching.
Stunt queen.
50 Cent is right they all can go and suck on something because “POWER” should be nominated and receive any and all awards that show is outstanding! The cast grabs and embraces their characters until you actually feel that they really are the people they portray. Empire is simple elementary when it comes to staying on track with their story line. Empire down plays “Cookie” Teraji P Henson she nows dresses like a model from the Thrift store while making “Jamal” Jussie Smollett look like he is the leading lady. I know Lee Daniels is gay but, living his fantasy’s out through Smollett on screen is just a show stopper!!!!
50 cent us the worst thing to happen to Power. Anybody could’ve played Kanan and he could’ve stayed in the EP. Instead his mouth has caused those amazing actors to pay for the foolishness he puts out in the world. We may say that the show doesn’t need awards but it would still be nice for them to get the acknowledgment.
I’m starting to believe he’s the reason they keep getting snubbed.
Damn
***Spoiler Alert***
Kanaan doesn’t die in season 3
