Jussie Smollett Calls 50 Cent A ‘Crab In the Barrel’

Jussie Smollett, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson

Jussie Smollett is not a fan of some of the criticism that Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson has said publicly about the show that he co-stars on, Empire. As you know, 50 has repeatedly shared that he is not a fan of the hit Fox show starring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard and believes that the show has stolen some of its elements from Power, which he co stars in and is also an executive producer on. In fact, he recently took to Instagram taking a few jabs at Lee Daniels (director and co-creator of the show) and Taraji. Check out his Instagram posts below.

He also wrote:

Taraji also took to Instagram, addressing rating comments made by 50.

She also showed love to Naturi Naughton, who stars on Power.

Jussie wrote an open letter to 50 on Instagram, calling him a ‘crab in a barrel.’ 50 also responded, taking aim at Jussie’s sexuality. See both below.
