Is 'Power' Moving to a New Network?
by EG
Look who’s Power tripping — again.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson threatened to take “Power,” the Starz drama he’s acted in and co-produced since 2014, to another network in a heated Instagram post.
“I woke up feeling a little different about POWER this morning,” 50 wrote on Monday about the cable station’s top series. “If the biggest show on your network doesn’t mean anything, what does your network mean STARZ?”
He accompanied the angry post with a photo of his character, drug dealer Kanan, menacingly holding a gun.
Show insiders, including creator Courtney Kemp Agboh, suggested that 50 Cent was upset because the network declined to extend the current fourth season to 12 episodes instead of the planned 10.
“I’m taking my talents to south beach f**k this,” Fitty added in the Instagram post that recalled LeBron James’ decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in 2010.
