Lil Durk Praised By His “Power Book II: Ghost” Co-Star After Fans Tried To Clown Him

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk recently appeared in the series finale of Power Book II: Ghost as his acting debut, and while some fans clowned him, others cheer. One of those supporters is his co-star LeToya Tonodeo (who played Diana Tejada in the 50 Cent-produced television show), who recently spoke to TMZ about Durk’s chops. “I thought he killed it!” she shared. “And I hope he keeps going with it. Like, you know, it’s the series finale… *sighs* it’s coming to an end. At least Power Book II: Ghost.

“But you know what they say, power never ends,” LeToya Tonodeo continued. “So we shall see. […] I think [Lil Durk has a magical quality]. I think so, I mean, he was dope to work with. Super cool, super chill. Yeah, I hope he keeps it going. I hope [we’ll see a lot of him in the future in Hollywood]. I hope so. You’d have to ask him, but in my opinion, I hope so.” As such, we imagine that Smurk feels pretty amazing about his acting debut despite some fans’ jokes. Who knows whether he’ll be the next breakout drama star, an action hero, or a comedic hit?

Elsewhere in Lil Durk’s world, he recently announced his new album Deep Thoughts, but fans are already pretty busy with his next moves. After all, it wasn’t too long ago that he revealed the tracklist for another project, Love Songs 4 The Streets 3. The record has Rod Wave on as both a feature and executive producer, with other guests including Future, Lil Baby, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat. It sounds like quite the eclectic mix, but we’ll see how it follows up or maybe even previews Deep Thoughts.

Meanwhile, the “Monitoring Me” spitter has a lot of options ahead of him. He’s always been a prolific musical artist, so maybe venturing more into the worlds of film and TV could either inspire more measured material or result in a lot of quick drops. Lil Durk has these two projects seemingly ready to go (Deep Thoughts drops on October 18) and seems like he might be busier than ever with a growing entertainment profile. The future is bright.

50 Cent Hints That The ‘Power Universe’ Will Expand Despite Several Series Coming To An End

June 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent’s transition to mogul has been a sight to witness. The “In Da Club” rapper struck TV gold with Power, and its spin-offs.

With Power Book II: Ghost starring Michael Rainey Jr. and now Power Book IV: Force with Joseph Sikora entering its final season, viewers are ready to say goodbye for good. However, yesterday (June 14), 50 Cent made it clear that Power Universe fans should expect something special rather soon.

While sharing the Sikora’s teaser video on the set of Force, 50 Cent used the post’s caption to hint at the beloved TV series’ future. “I’m glad all the fans have been so supportive of ‘Force,’” he wrote. “We have more heat coming, my ‘Power Universe’ is still expanding… wait till you see what I have up my sleeve, you haven’t seen the last of Tommy.”

Sikora echoed the sentiments in the clip. “When Gary Lennon and the other writers and I were mapping out our third season, we saw that we were telling a complete story,” he said. “And that this was the perfect opportunity to stay true to our artistic vision and make this the final chapter in Tommy’s journey in Chicago. But don’t worry, Tommy’s journey is far from over with. We’re just getting warmed up, and I can’t wait to show you what we have planned next.”
