In response to 50 comparing their show to his “Power” series, Howard 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 also downplayed 50’s comments and denied having any issues with him.

“50 Cent is a comedian. He loves to push buttons. He’s a funny guy. I never took offense to it. If anything, I thought he was trying to get [a] jab at him. You know, he’s jealous of Terrence, his looks. Terrence is light-skinned, he’s dark-skinned, you know, come on people.” (The Wrap)

Taraji answered a fan’s question about being singled out by 50 on Twitter a few days ago.

Fif relied on his Instagram page to take a few jabs at show stars Howard and Henson for the show marketing itself like his own executive-produced series.

Empire VS. Power LADIES what's up you be the judge. LMAO #SMSAUDIO #FRIGO #POWERTV
