G-Unit head 50 Cent is reminding fans there’s no tensions brewing between himself and “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson months after going at her hit Fox series.
50 posted up a picture alongside Henson onto Instagram last night (May 17) and used the opportunity to promote his own “Empire”-like show “Power.”
In response to rap star 50 comparing their show to his “Power” series, “Empire” star Terrence Howard recently joked about sharing a big role in his 2005 movie, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
“Fifty is my monster man. We served jail time together in his film, you know, we’ve been naked together. I love the fact that we’re both pushing the envelope with our shows and what it says about cinema and television, how the change has occurred to where black men can be on opposing levels, because we’re both telling a similar story,” he went on. “So it’s kinda great. I’m proud of him – very proud of him.” (The Wrap)
Henson answered a fan’s question about being singled out by 50 on Twitter earlier this year.
“@KiaSoFlawless: @TherealTaraji how do you feel about what 50cent said about you and Terrance Howard?”<~ I pay attention to $'s NOT cents?✌️

Back in February, 50 compared “Empire” to Fox’s musical show “Glee.”
“I’ve watched it. It’s like ‘Glee’ with a little hip hop music in it… I feel like the storyline is moving extremely fast… I didn’t show my character, Kanan, until episode 4 on ‘Power,’ because I was in jail for a long period of time. Taraji came home on the first episode after 17 years. It was like, ‘damn, what happened to the rest of the story? I don’t know what’s going on.’ It started moving real fast.” (MTV)

He knows that it was not a good look beefing with a chick who out here in her lane grinding just like him.
