50 Cent tells Emmy Awards to kiss ‘my Black a**’ once again after his crime drama series Power is shut out of nominations
50 Cent is making habit out of calling out the Emmys Awards with some tough words!
Like previous years when his successful Starz series Power got shut out of any Emmy nominations of any kind, the actor and rapper took to social media to slam the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
‘ok here it is Emmy’s, My Black a** for your consideration to kiss,’ he wrote in the caption of a photo that depicted his derriere.
‘F**k your organization I only care about NAACP awards. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi’
Tough talk! 50 Cent slammed the Emmys once again after his crime drama series Power was shut out of any nominations for a sixth straight year
Garnering positive review since its premiere in 2014, Power became one of Starz’s most highly rated shows and one of cable’s most watched shows.
But that success with critics and viewers never translated into any Emmy nominations of any kind during its six-year run that ended this past February.
That shut out has never sat well with 50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson), who played the role Kanan Stark on the show, while also serving as executive producer.
Annual bashing: 50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson), 45, shared a photo of a sculpture of his derriere when, like previous years, he slammed the Emmys on Instagram
Around this same time last year, when Power didn’t receive any love from the Emmys, the legendary rapper didn’t his mice words of displeasure when he took to Instagram.
‘The EMMY’s can kiss my black a** in slow motion,’ he wrote, captioning a rundown of the series’ stellar ratings.
‘F**k em I’m #1 They a bunch of Bengay my back hurt smelling a** old people anyway. LOL.’
many roles: 50 played the role Kanan Stark on Power, while also serving as executive producer
Power, which also starred Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, Lela Loren, LaLa Anthony, Joseph Sikora and Michael Rainey, Jr., proved to be a huge success with critics and viewers for its pacing, atmospheric drama and stellar casting.
Despite being ignored by the Emmys, Power received 11 NAACP Image Award nominations that resulted in five wins from 2016-2019, which may be why he have a nod to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Tuesday’s Instagram post.
50 is also serving as executive producer in the spin-off series Power Book II: Ghost that premieres September 6 on Starz.
It picks up the story just days after the Power finale and then follows Tariq (played by Michael Rainey Jr.) navigating his new life as he tries to shed his father’s legacy amid the mounting pressure to save his family.
