50 Cent Addresses That Controversial “Power” Scene: “The Lady Had To Go”

G-Unit boss 50 Cent has come forward to provide some clarity over last night’s controversial “Power” episode. The rapper-turned-TV star addressed his on-screen character Kanan sending an elderly lady to a shocking demise. [PEEP SOHH’S “POWER” EP. 7 RECAP!]

Fif went to Instagram Monday (August 29) and defended his fictional bad guy’s cutthroat decision.

This past weekend, Fif hinted at something big going down on Sunday’s “Power” airing.

According to last week reports, the acclaimed series’ previous episode locked-in over two million viewers.

Coming off the death of Lucy Walter’s Holly character on August 14, the premium cabler’s most-watched original series snagged 2.1 million viewers in its initial showing Sunday. That’s a 17% rise from the week before and the best the Courtney Kemp-created Power has done since its Season 3 premiere on July 17. In fact, the latest episode is the second most watched episode of any Starz original ever. In the 18-49 demo, Sunday’s revenge-rich Power went up a tenth from its August 14 show to a 1.0 with 1.21 million watching. (Deadline)

Last week, 50 Cent boasted about his show’s success.
