*50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) continues to take aim at “Empire,” and fans of the rapper know that his beef with the hit Fox series has been ongoing for years.
Jackson claims the scripted drama is constantly stealing his ideas, including the concept behind the photo below that he posted on Twitter. 50 believes the series rivals his show “Power,” and proof comes via this photo which he alleges is a rip-off.
He uploaded a side-by-side comparison of two pics. The first features the main cast of “Empire” lined up in a shot similar to an image of 50’s group G-Unit.
“They Copy my sh*t, but it’s cool that’s my old sh*t. LOL,” he wrote.

Created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, “Empire” stars Terrence Howard as a hip-hop mogul and Taraji P. Henson stars as his ballbusting partner in crime, Cookie Lyon. Now in its fifth season, the series premiere received nearly 10 million viewers and the season one finale drew 17 million viewers.
But 50 previously ridiculed the show, claiming its ratings were on the decline.
“Well look at the bright side at least. You can eat your trophies. I was talking to old girl but you felt like you had to respond. SMH you know I love you cookie. I got a new show for you BMF COMING SOON !!!#EFFENVODKA.”
“Old Girl” Taraji shot back with the quickness, saying: “For the confused ppl. Do REAL research!!! Loose change makes sooooooo much UNNECESSARY NOISE. STILL LOOKING FOR THAT DAMN CENT SIGN!!! I guess it’s obsolete. AGAIN CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESS BLACK MAN!!! @50cent.”
The actress has yet to respond 50’s latest accusation. #StayTuned
