Latest ‘Scandal’ Episode Falls to Season Low + 50 Cent Implies ‘Empire’ Music Sucks [Audio]
And other TV news, there are more interesting soundbites, compliments of 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) about ‘Empire’. As you know, there’s been ongoing dialogue by the rapper/actor/mogul about how the Fox series has stolen inspiration from his Starz series ‘Power’.
In a recent interview with Big Boy, 50 explains that he had NO SHAME when he bought a :30 sec commercial spot to play during the ‘Empire’ finale this past Wednesday. Hey says:
That’s right. They stole my marketing and built that lil thing over there. I bought it as SMS audio and turned it in as ‘Power’.
When asked if he’d ever make a cameo appearance on the Lee Danies created show, 50 replies:
You know what? Hell no….I wanted to create a show like the way I loved SuperFly. There were points that the music would say things that the character didn’t have to say.
50 also maintains that one of the better aspects of Power is the music.
While Empire is trying to sell new music and tryna create artists — I’m trying to put the best possible music in the show. Like, there’s a place for bad music and it’s television.
Listen to his full interview below.

I’m tired of 50 bashing Empire…Both shows are great…two totally different story lines…get over it already 50!
I never understood the comparisons.Sad how 50 seeks attention by causing conflict.
I think that he is blasting Empire as a publicity stunt to get people to watch Power. The more negative he talks about Empire and comparing it to Power, the more people are going to watch Power just to see what all of this negativity is about. Reverse Psychology
I watched Power and frankly,I was bored.It didnt keep my interest.
Fifty “Get your life and leave Lee Daniels and his staff out of yours”…And stop being Jealous of Everybody, it’s time for a Head Check in your Therapist Office.
Pretty sad that all we do is compete with one another…. 2 completely story lines. Just different all together.. It would be really cool if he could have been a guest on Empire and he even could have promoted his very own show in an underlying but creative way… Both shows are good however, the mean spirited behind it is not a good look
Fifty needs to have several seats. I’m sick of him. He needs Jesus. Always talking sideways. Both shows are good. They are on two totally different story lines, so what is he and everyone else comparing? I love Empire and it’s soundtrack. Fifty, get your life.
50 cent is a sucka. he is always whining about something like a lady boy. Newsflash: We can have more than one show. Now sheddup fool!
Besides the fact that everyone was hungover from their Empire parties on Wed, im sorry to say, but Scandal has been dry this season, aside from the season premier and the EPIC #blacklivesmatter episode, it’s been a snooze fest. Come on Shonda, I’m rooting for you, girl! Bring it!
I feel like 50 is angry because Empire picked up a spot on Fox which can be watched whether you have cable or not and his show is on Showtime or something. I think that he should be busting out more episodes to keep us interested because I almost forgot about Power if he hadn’t got all crybabyish lol.
Actually, I like Empire’s drama. But I have always stood firm in the belief that the music content has an ametuer sound. They can flow, sure and the music is good. But the minute they open their mouths….the lyrics……um nah. Im good. Most times I just ffwd thru the music parts. But I still support cause its important to do so. Just Me.
