50 cent offers his two cents of shade after Empire’s second episode of season 2 premiered –and had significantly low viewership.
Apparently the ratings came in after the second episode and its views took a 18 percent dip. Of course 50 took to the Instagram to throw shade (the post has since been deleted) but he reposted a fan pointing out that Empire had 3 million less viewers that week.
According to BET, y’all know what 50 blamed it on? Too many celeb cameos and too many “gay plots.”
The post read: “There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it?… We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!”
Yall know he wasn’t peace-ing out peacefully, he added, “Empire’s ratings took a huge hit. Okay I’ll stop now. Cookie call me baby. I’ll tell every body to watch the show for you.”
Why he play so much?!
This of course isn’t his first series of shade to Empire. He previously referred to it as “some sh*t you get for free,” making sure to point out the fact that his show, Power, which exclusively airs on Starz is “worth paying for.”
He KNOWS Power has nothing to worry about! It was picked up for a third season… but sometimes it’s entertaining to visit Petty Island we suppose.
