You’d be surprised by how much 50 Cent was making per episode during his time playing the role Kanan Stark on his hit series Power.
The Queens mogul recently sat down with GQ to talk about his most iconic films and spoke on his friction with writer and showrunner Courtney Kemp Agboh and the show’s lead Omari Hardwick while also revealing that he took quite the pay cut to play the notorious character. 50 began talking about how his name being attached to the show and his executive producer status made things “awkward” for Kemp and Hardwick once the series started to take off in popularity.
“When people have success for the first time in their career, sometimes they need it to be all theirs, right?” he explained. “So the difficult thing is if they have their success for the first time, and it’s a 50 Cent show. It is a 50 Cent show, like publicly people look at it like it’s ‘presented by 50 Cent.’ The story is from Southside, Jamaica, Queens — everything is 50 Cent tied to the show. The music that’s playing is 50 Cent.”
