Taraji P. Henson Admits Auditioning for ‘Scandal’, Shoots Down ‘Baby Boy 2’ [VIDEO]

If you sleep with them, why would they want to work with you again?

On us possibly getting a Baby Boy 2, Taraji says that she hasn’t “heard anything about it” and she asks “do we need a Baby Boy 2?” But, she does go on to say it could be done.

Tyrese and I can do anything and they’ll be ready to see us.

Taraji also opens up about how and why she decided upon the scene where she exposes her butt cheeks:

It was about Cookie and Cookie getting back at Anika. Thank God it looked good…I just did it and thank God it worked.

On 50 Cent criticizing Empire she says that she doesn’t “really take him seriously” adding:

He might be a little scared of me chile, I’m from the hood, South East DC don’t get it twisted,” she says.

She also touches on the whole fan created rivalry created between Kerry Washington and herself. Apparently, she’s caught wind of the Olivia Pope v. Cookie memes that float online. She says that the two laugh about those.

We don’t have that kind of energy with each other.

Taraji also reveals that she even read for the role of Olivia on ‘Scandal‘ but right away she knew that it belonged to Kerry. “Why am I even in here?” Taraji says about reading for the role of Olivia. “It was hers she’s great in it,” she continues.

On whether or not the n-word will be used on ‘Empire’, Taraji she explains:

I don’t think America is ready for that on prime-time television. That word would absolutely be tossed around if this was a movie…now that we accomplished what we accomplished with this show, we don’t need it.
