50 Cent has decided to address some recent comments Empire actress Taraji P. Henson made on T.I.’s podcast — in typical 50 Cent fashion.
On Saturday morning (January 25), the Power co-founder headed to Instagram where he offered some harsh criticism shrouded in an apology. He also attempted to bully Henson into joining forces on his next television venture.
“I saw @tarajiphenson on @troubleman31 podcast, this is my sincere apology I did not mean to hurt your feelings in anyway,” he captioned a photo of himself. “I love your work and I think you are amazing. I’m sorry no one is watching your show anymore. I realize I have to work on the fact that I have less empathy then others.
“I have met with the top executives at Fox and sold them(The Notorious Cop) it’s the show that is replacing yours but I really want to work with you. I mean your awesome we would work well together but if you don’t like the idea I understand. if you don’t roll with me, your gonna get rolled the fuck over.”
In a follow-up post, 50 shared a clip of the Henson’s original comments and accused Tip of fueling the fire.
“this is @troubleman31 ‘s fault,” he wrote in the caption. “he is already signed on to the show FOX is replacing them with. TIP You grimey man.”
In a third post advertising his upcoming Walk Of Fame ceremony, Fiddy threw one more jab, making a slick reference to Tip’s podcast, expediTIously.
“you guys are all invited expeditiously,” he said. “yeah catch POWER tonight it’s lit.”
The feud between Hanson and 50 has been ongoing for years. During the recent podcast, Tip asked the seasoned actress, who plays “Cookie Lyon” on the long-running FOX series, about the bad blood between them.
“Our show has nothing to do with his show,” she said. “We’re talking two different subject matters. Then again 50, do you know what the fuck I had to do to get here? Why tear down another black person? For competition? There are a million other shows you can compete with. To do that publicly? It’s embarrassing.”
