In an exclusive interview with Hip Hop Wired, Director Lee Daniels revealed that the alleged “beef” that has brewed between actress Taraji P. Henson and rap mogul 50 Cent about his critique of the popular show is all to do about nothing and that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson actually wants to make an appearance on the show in the very near future.
“Oh 50, he didn’t even see the show,” Daniels replied when questioned about 50’s critiques of the promotional commercials. “I just talked to him two weeks ago and he said was gonna come guest star. He’s just trying to start some mess.”
Essentially, this is the equivalent of 50 Cent’s 2003 conquering of Ja Rule’s singing, only to turn around and have a #1 hit with the R&B-tinged “21 Questions.” Nonetheless, Daniels understands the overall marketing ploy and feels like it’s all in the spirit of competition.
That’s what I love about 50,” Daniels continued with a smile. “He’s just trying to get viewers [to watch] Power.”
