50 Cent News: Rapper Is Furious Over Golden Globes Snubbing 'Power', May Quit Show [VIDEO]
Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent, is furious that his Starz show Power was snubbed from the Golden Globes yet again.
Jackson posted a photo on Instagram Monday of himself looking at his phone, with a scathing caption about the Golden Globes. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association did not give his show, Power, any nominations this year, and Jackson is pretty bothered by it.
"I'm on the move again, Golden globe's can suck a d---," he wrote in the caption. "I accept my series POWER was not intended to be a signature show for the network but it is the highest rated show. I know my audience very well, I'm done promoting this out side of contractual obligations. SEASON 4 KANAN MUST DIE, I got other s--- to do."
It's not clear if Jackson is serious about wanting to move on from the show thanks to not getting much awards attention, but he posted another photo shortly after, featuring Floyd Mayweather in fan-made key art for season 4 of Power.
A spokesperson for Starz discussed Power's lack of award nominations with Deadline:
"We are grateful for the excellent work being done on Power by the producers, cast and crew. We certainly think this exceptional show has been overlooked by various awards committees, but the fans have made it the second-most-watched show on premium cable in 2016 ... and those are accolades that mean just as much if not more."
Power hasn't gone completely unacknowledged, though. The show was nominated at the NAACP Image Awards last year, as were stars Omari Hardwick and Naturi Naughton. All three are nominated again this year, as just announced Tuesday morning.
Power concluded its third season this past September. It has already been renewed for a fourth and fifth season.
