<p>By now we know that 50 Cent does not miss when it comes to his television and film projects. His latest show &#8220;Power Book III: Raising Kanan&#8221; premiered on Starz last month, and the show has been getting great reviews from fans of the &#8220;Power&#8221; franchise.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, 50 took to Instagram to speak about the amazing work of actress Patina Miller, who plays Raquel Thomas, the mother of Kanan on the new scripted series. The show is a prequel based on 50 Cent&#8217;s &#8220;Power&#8221; character Kanan Stark.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;You know I don&#8217;t miss nothing @patinamiller knocking Cookie sh*t out the box. Empire who, how, where? LOL.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now fans know in the past 50 Cent has been critical of the former Fox hit series &#8220;Empire,&#8221; which starred <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/50-cent-fires-back-at-taraji-p-hensons-comments-about-power-and-empire/">Taraji P. Henson</a></em> as Cookie Lyon. He would quite often compare the show to the stars hit series &#8220;Power,&#8221; which he starred on, and also served as a producer. Nonetheless, some folks have always looked at his comments as a marketing tatic when it came to promoting the show.</p>
<p>Following 50&#8217;s comment, Patina commented back and said, &#8220;Normally, I wouldn&#8217;t comment, but I feel it&#8217;s necessary&#8230;both of these characters are strong af. I love that queen and look up to her! I do think both characters can co-exist and one doesn&#8217;t have to be &#8216;better&#8217; than the other&#8230;Lift them both up!! Thank you for your support always @50Cent.&#8221;</p>
<p>50 then responded to Patina&#8217;s comments and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m the only one comparing you and Taraji P. Henson to make people see you that way. Taraji crazy a** put in a lot of work, it takes a lot of time to get in the hearts and minds of an audience like that. You over there on some black women power sh*t.&#8221;</p>

<p>Some people believe the whole comment exchange was just another method to help promote the show as its success continues to climb.</p>
