The two went head-to-head on Twitter and Instagram after 50 Cent claimed Empire, a new Fox series that Henson stars in, was a knockoff version of his hit show Power on Starz. Henson clapped back before 50 Cent responded once again.
The rapper turned media mogul spoke with Access Hollywood on the battle. He confessed that they were all just having fun.
Taraji P. Henson Comes For 50 Cent After 'Empire' Diss 'I Pay Attention To Dollars'
"I can't have beef with Taraji. I'll lose. Against Taraji, I'll lose. The Fox marketing was really close to what we did for 'Power.' I went through the process and I felt like they just copied it. The shows are really different. It doesn't really matter."
He added that many of his close friends are a part of the show, including lead actor Terrence Howard, so he has no problems with it.
"Terence Howard over there. He did my first film with me, 'Get Rich or Die Trying.' I got Timbaland over there, the music supervisor...It's so many people associated that I'd like to see it be successful too."
Henson and Howard also confirmed it was just jokes and games between the three.
They spoke with The Wrap Jan. 7. Henson said, 'He's a funny guy. I never took offense to it."
Howard added, "50 is my monster man. We've been naked together. I love the fact that we're both pushing the envelope with our shows. I'm proud of him. I'm very proud of him."
Empire airs Wednesdays on Fox at 9/8c.
