“Power Book II: Ghost” Final Episodes Leak Online, Social Media Reacts

Leaks are a plague on pop culture, whether for the early spoilers or for ruining the surprise element and intended rollout for fans in any medium. Moreover, the final two episodes of “Power Book II: Ghost” leaked online, and social media had a field day reacting. Of course, they had both the series events (which won’t be spoiled here) and the leak itself to react to. In fact, a lot of the show’s stars and collaborators reacted online with surprise, frustration, or the lightest attitude they could muster. Unsurprisingly, series head 50 Cent had the most notable reaction online.

“Give it up for the only network that leaks its biggest shows,” Fif wrote about Starz. “Great work guys!” Fortunately, it seems like these won’t literally be the last episodes of “Power Book II: Ghost.” Reports in January indicated that the network renewed the show for a fourth season, so there’s plenty more “Power” to watch unfold. Still, that probably won’t arrive in a while, so it’s still unfortunate that fans who’d rather wait for official releases have to dodge spoilers online.

In addition, it should be noted that this isn’t the first leak that “Power Book II: Ghost” has had to deal with. Even without these new leaks in mind, there is still plenty of drama to go over within the show’s universe and production. A recent one was cast members claiming that T.I. was replaced by Method Man on the show due to his beef with 50 Cent. During an interview with Tony the Closer, the Atlanta trap pioneer cleared the air surrounding his alleged involvement and subsequent removal from the show.

Social Media Reacts To The Leaks

“50 and I we were executive producers on a different show outside of the ‘Power’ universe. But nah, me and 50 cool,” he said. “I think I’m the only one who is not offended by his brash approach and he’s not offended by mine. So, you now, we play rough but ain’t no issue. It’s a mutual respect, though.” These rumored beefs are nothing compared to how the G-Unit mogul feels about Starz and these leaks. Keep scrolling to see more reactions on social media.

Fans Wonder Why Has Redman Been Replaced On ‘Power Book II: Ghost’?

Screen Shot 2023 04 03 at 11.14.06 AM

In Ghost Season 2, Reggie “Redman” Noble portrayed the character Theo, but social media was wondering why the MC has been replaced on the show?

Fans were shocked to see Theo return in season 3, portrayed by another actor. Jordan Mahome has taken over as Davis’ older brother. The Get Down actor does an amazing job in the role. However, fans were shocked.

“Come on #Power y’all really thought y’all could switch out Redman character and we wouldn’t notice as black viewers,” one fan said on Twitter.

Neither showrunner Brett Mahoney, who took over for Courtney Kemp, nor executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has released a statement about Redman’s absence. However, it’s likely that this was a matter of scheduling conflicts.

Still, fans are eager to see how things with Theo and Davis play out, especially since Saxe (Shane Johnson) now knows the truth about his business partner’s connection to Theo.

It was originally the idea of series creator Courtney A. Kemp to bring in Redman to portray Method Man’s brother. The latter immediately liked the idea and gave his approval. After all, he and Redman have worked on multiple projects together in the past. “It’s always dope to work with somebody you’ve worked with over the years, but just not somebody that you’ve always worked with, but someone that you trust as far as stage performances and things like that,” Method Man explained in an interview with Vibe. “So anytime you put Redman and Method Man on-screen together, not only are you going to get chemistry, you going to get synergy, as well as professionalism.”

50 Cent’s transition from rap superstar to a very successful executive producer of some of today’s most popular television shows is one that’s unmatched by many. His venture into the film industry began back in 2003 when he launched the film company G-Unit Films. In 2008, he launched Cheetah Vision which produces low-budget action thrillers for film markets across the world. G-Unit Films folded momentarily, but in 2010, 50 Cent revived it G-Unit Films and Television Inc. Under it, 50 Cent has teamed with STARZ and other TV companies to release great television shows that have grown to be favorites in households all over America.

Since the 2010 re-launch of G-Unit Films and Television Inc., keeping up with the various shows that 50 Cent has produced can be quite a task, especially if you’re new to it all. The following list will include all the shows that he’s executive produced starting with his trademark series Power, which as many of us now know, has expanded into its own universe. There are also other shows on this list that didn’t have the long life that Power did, and we’ll give some insights into some future releases that 50 Cent & Co. have on the way. This list will also be updated as new information comes out. So without further ado, here is what has existed, currently does, or will exist in 50 Cent’s cinematic universe.

I knew it would be a success here also. “ Dream School launched in 2013 and went on to have two seasons and a total of ten episodes that featured civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, rapper Chuck D, rapper, producer, and DJ Swizz Beatz, chef David Cheng, astronaut Mae Jemison, and more as celebrity teachers.

Power is a crime drama television series that 50 Cent created and produced with Courtney A. Kemp. The show launched its first season in the summer of 2014 and went on to have six successful seasons before coming to an end in the winter of 2020. Power followed the story of James St. Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick, who was a smart and quick-on-his-feet drug dealer who went by the street name “Ghost.” The series follows his desire to exit the drug game and maintain and law-abiding life as a businessman who is the owner of a nightclub, Truth. Throughout the show’s six seasons, we watch St. Patrick’s attempts to balance his street life and business life with the hope of exiting out of the former. However, the pressures of street and business enemies, a crumbling marriage, grief, and more make that exit harder than expected. In the end, it leads to a tragic conclusion that sparks the beginning of three spin-offs of the original Power series.

As explained in an official synopsis, The Oath explores “a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend and sheds light on corrupt and secret societies that are nearly impossible to join.” It’s a crime drama series that’s on-brand to most shows that 50 Cent has helped produce under G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

Genre: Drama
Rating: TV-14
Runtime: 2 seasons, 23 episodes
Created By: Hank Steinberg

For Life is probably one of the more underrated entries in 50 Cent’s cinematic universe. Released in 2020, the ABC drama series went on for two seasons and 23 episodes with Hank Steinberg as the creator. For Life was inspired by the true story of Isaac Wright Jr. who was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. Wright Jr. is portrayed by Nicholas Pinnock who plays a man named Aaron Wallace. Just like Wright Jr., Wallace became an attorney during his time in prison and helped to overturn the wrongful convictions of several inmates before doing the same for himself. After his release from prison, Wallace would continue to help inmates have their convictions overturned. “I look at producing like finding the most significant stories, and then you come to a point where the facts are better than fiction,” 50 Cent said in a 2020 interview with Billboard. “For this, it wasn’t just the saying ‘one in a million.’ He really is just the only one.”

After the original Power series concluded in 2020, 50 Cent, the Power team, and STARZ announced four spin-offs of the original series. While one of them was eventually canceled, the remaining three have successfully continued the Power story and universe. Power Book II: Ghost was the first spin-off released and this series is based on the life of James “Ghost” St. Patrick’s son, Tariq, and the events that followed after the death of Ghost (sorry for the spoiler). In Power Book II: Ghost, Tariq is trying to navigate his new life as a college student while also trying to create a new legacy for himself and grow up to be much different than his father. Unfortunately, pressures to support his family in unimaginable ways result in Tariq being more similar to his father than he would’ve liked. Nonetheless, he tells himself that his decisions and actions are done to bring him one step closer to a life out of the streets.

Genre: Drama, Crime
Rating: TV-MA
Runtime: 2 seasons, 20 episodes
Created By: Sascha Penn

Power Book III: Raising Kanan is the second spin-off in the Power series. Unlike the other two, this one goes back in time to tell the story of Kanan, the mentor-turned-rival of James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Kanan introduced Ghost into the drug game, but as it was revealed in the original Power series, Ghost’s relationship with Kanan soured when he and his wife Tasha set him up to be put in prison on a ten-year sentence. Power Book III: Raising Kanan hasn’t re-enacted the first interaction between Ghost and Kanan, but in the series’ first two seasons, we see how Kanan (played by Mekai Curtis) was introduced into the drug game. We see that Kanan’s experience in the streets is rooted in a family organization that was in place before him, as we see in Power Book II: Ghost. Though Power Book III: Raising Kanan has been billed as a fictional story, 50 Cent has said that he drew on his childhood experiences in Queens to shape some of the show’s stories.

Genre: Drama, Crime
Rating: TV-MA
Runtime: 2 seasons, 18 episodes
Created By: Randy Huggins

Though BMF is not a part of the Power Universe, it does make use of the same qualities that make a 50 Cent-produced crime drama so enjoyable. The show is loosely based on the Black Mafia Family, the Detroit drug organization that was founded in 1985 and grew to be a nationally successful empire by the 2000s. Founded and led by Demetrius “Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, BMF was a well-oiled drug empire that had hubs in Atlanta and Los Angeles before they were taken down in 2005 with the Flenory brothers’ arrest. Demetrius “Meech” Flenory Jr. plays his father while Da’Vinchi takes on the role of Southwest T. In addition to showing the brothers’ start in the drug game, BMF also shows how values like family, loyalty, and played into the BMF’s rise and how other factors came in to foreshadow their eventual fall.

Power Book IV: Force is the most recently released spin-off of the original Power.

Egan originally planned to drive from New York to California to start his new life, but a stop in Chicago brought him new opportunities and new information about his past. In the show’s inaugural season, Egan discovers the truth about his family, meets family members he was unaware of, finds love, and gets his hands dirty in the city’s drug game while ruffling some feathers. Everything about Tommy Egan in Power Book IV: Force is on-par with the quick-tempered individual we were introduced to and got to know in Power. Only this time, Tommy is in charge of everything which leads to both good and bad results.

Last fall, 50 Cent teamed up with Van Lathan for a new series that was tied to his musical roots, in an unfortunate way. Hip-Hop Homicides debuted in November 2022 as an unscripted weTV series that looked into the unsolved murders of hip-hop rappers from recent history. In the season’s first 8 episodes, the deaths of Pop Smoke, Chinx, XXXTentacion, King Von, and more were all examined with commentary from Lathan and others that aims to uncover how these murders occurred and hopefully provide new details that could solve their cases. The series’ first season concluded at the beginning of 2023, and while there’s no word yet on a second season, the hope is that the show returns to accurately cover more of the recent deaths that occurred in hip-hop.

For the early parts of 2023, 50 Cent teased a project that many believed was tied to the next release in the GTA series. He later revealed that the project was actually a new series called Vice City, which is also the rumored location of the next GTA installment. Vice City will be released through Paramount+ and be executive produced by Darnell Metayer (Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts) and Josh Peters (Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts) with Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise) serving as executive producer/director. According to Deadline, Vice City “follows three friends, and former soldiers, who return to their home city of Miami in the mid-80s after being dishonorably discharged from the military for their involvement in the Iran Contra scandal.” The article adds, “Disgraced, displaced, and forgotten by the country they served and with no good job prospects, the three friends partner with a mysterious Colombian immigrant, uniting their financial needs and criminal ambitions to form a heist crew.”

FOX Deal

In February 2023, 50 Cent signed a non-exclusive, broadcast direct deal with FOX. With the deal, 50 Cent and G-Unit Films and Television Inc. will develop both live-action and animated scripted series for the network. The deal is non-exclusive which allows him to produce other shows wherever he wants, like the aforementioned Vice City series. FOX will own any series greenlit through this deal and its in-house Fox Entertainment Studios will produce the releases alongside G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

“I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted, and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions,” 50 Cent said about the new deal.

50 Cent Faces Mediation In $1B Lawsuit From Former Drug Kingpin Over ‘Power’

Screen Shot 2023 03 20 at 9.01.34 AM

About two years ago, a former drug lord by the name of Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr, filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent and producer Courtney, claiming that Starz Power series was made about his life story and now it’s being reported that 50 is now facing mediation in that lawsuit.

50’s attorneys allege that the one year statute of limitation is over, which weakens Holland’s lawsuit, but Holland, who’s self represented, says he mailed a copy of his CD to Kemp’s father in 2007, which details his life as a drug dealer who turned into a drug lord. Court docs also claim that Fif came to Holland’s house twice in 2021 to try to confront him about the lawsuit.

Mediation in the lawsuit is set to begin on May 9.

50 Cent Accused Of Confronting Former Drug Dealer About Lawsuit Over ‘Power’ Character

50 Cent Expendables

According to a report from AllHipHop, music and television mogul 50 Cent is accused of “pulling up” on Corey “Ghost” Holland Sr., who is suing the Power executive producer for allegedly basing the NYC-based street saga on his life.

Holland says in the lawsuit that Fif came to his place of residence twice in 2021 and that 50 was retaliating against him for filing the lawsuit.

Holland’s suit reads, “50 Cent shows up about a half mile from plaintiff home, and plaintiff sees the same truck that pulled into his driveway at the 50 Cent event. So plaintiff realizes it was either defendant Jackson or his Entourage who decided to ‘Pull Up.’ It continues, “When you looking for a confrontation your honor, this is what people say, nowadays. Up to this point, plaintiff had ignored a lot of ‘subliminal attacks’ on him online, but now 50 Cent is bringing the drama right to plaintiff front yard, so plaintiff responded to 50 Cent they way any normal person would respond to a possible threat, plaintiff prepared himself for whatever was go happen.”

Holland alleges that the seven acts in a CD he released, Blasphemy are identical to the seven seasons of the Starz television series as well as the first two seasons of Power Book II: Ghost.

50 Cent’s legal team called the lawsuit frivolous and stated that because the last showing of Power aired in February 2020 and the lawsuit was filed in April 2021, he missed the one-year statute of limitations under New York law.

“Power Book II: Ghost” Season 3 Trailer: Watch

Today (February 16), Starz released the trailer for the next season of Power Book II: Ghost. The trailer gives fans a glimpse into the highly-anticipated third season of the hit drama series. The show was created by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Courtney A. Kemp. The intense trailer shows audiences pieces of the brand-new twists, turns, and murders that will shake the show’s characters this season. Characters Tariq, Brayden, and the Tejada family grieve the death of Zeke. Based on the synopsis, this season is going to be “flashier, juicer, and sexier, with even more family drama, betrayals, and surprising new alliances.”

The previous season of Power Book II: Ghost left fans begging for more. Tariq is on a quest to get out of the game and reconnect with his family. Brayden possibly betrayed him before he was taken out of school. Additionally, the Tejada family has a substantial amount of product to distribute– more than ever before. Also, Riq has little to no options to cut ties with the family. The Tejada’s family matriarch is setting out to avenge Zeke’s death. She is also fighting to keep Davis MacLean, a criminal defense attorney, off her back. Another question that needs answers is if Effie got rid of Riq’s girlfriend, Lauren. Watch the trailer for Power Book II: Ghost season 3 here.

50 Cent Fuels Beef Between “BMF” & “Power” Casts

There are few things that 50 Cent enjoys more in the world than free marketing. BMF star Lil Meech took a page out of Fif’s book and began berating the cast of Power Book II: Ghost this week, beginning with Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. Eventually, he dragged his father, Big Meech, into the conversation, who stated that he doesn’t think Power can stand next to BMF. Meech stated that the show didn’t seem realistic by any means, and criticized Rainey’s character, Tariq.

50 Cent executive produces both shows, but he has no problem pitting them against each other for the sake of views. The rapper shared a promo picture of Power Book II: Ghost including an image of Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. “Ghost is coming back @michaelraineyjr said that BMF shit ain’t hitting,” Fif captioned the post. Of course, it didn’t take long for Lil Meech or Rainey to react to Fif’s post. We thought the beef was put to rest but clearly, that wasn’t the case.

Lil Meech Tells 50 Cent: “This Look Like A Star Trek Promo”

It didn’t take long for Lil Meech to slide into the comment section of 50 Cent’s post and take aim at the Power cast. First, he criticized Gianni Paolo for looking as “soft as cotton.” However, he echoed his father’s sentiments surrounding Tariq’s lifestyle – living as a college student while trying to have one foot in the streets. “5 I hop this season he not still taking UBER and bringing his girls to his dorm. Can the n***a atleast buy a house?” Meech wrote under the post. 

Later on, Meech shared a screenshot of 50 Cent’s post and compared the look of the latest Ghost promo shoot to Star Trek. “This look like a Star Trek promo,” he wrote. “Look at their serious face.” From there, he further reiterated that Tariq should spend money on something other than lawyer fees and Ubers this season. “LMAO somebody tell bro buy a Hellcat this season or sumn so he can stop walking home putting miles on them Air Forces,” he added. Check out Meech’s comments above.
