Is the Power franchise in jeopardy? Hopefully, the hit series is here to stay. But apparently 50 Cent is feuding with STARZ, and threatening to remove his shows from the network.

The G-Unit rapper has multiple shows on STARZ including Power and its spin-offs Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Most recently, he executive produced the crime-drama series Black Mafia Family.
“This is me packing my stuff, STARZ Sucks, my deal is up over here I’m out. They renewed High town and FORCE is the highest rated show they have it sitting in limbo. If I told you how much dumb s*** I deal with over here,” 50 Cent captioned a short Instagram video.
The “21 Questions” rapper continued expressing his feelings towards the network with a series of Instagram posts. All of which featured stock images of people either packing or traveling. “Hold my calls i’m traveling, getting the f*** away from STARZ,” he captioned the next Instagram post, while shamelessly self-promoting his Cognac brand.
In the other posts that followed, 50 Cent called on his executive team including Anil Kurian, Head of Development for G-Unit Film & Television. Back in 2018, the rapper signed a four-year overall deal with STARZ that was estimated to be worth around $150 million. Reportedly, he is entering the final year of his STARZ contract.
