50 Cent blames ‘Empire’ ratings drop on too much ‘Gay & celebrity stuff’
He said he knows why “Empire’s” ratings dipped in its second episode of the season- too much “gay stuff.”
In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Fifty shared a page
called @industryonblast_ that said the Fox show’s ratings fell because
of too many celebrity cameos and “gay” plots.
“There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it?” the post said. “We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!”
50 Cent chimed in with his own commentary by urging Cookie Lyon, “Empire” character to call him for help.
“EMPIRES TV RATINGS TOOK A HUGE HIT. Ok I’ll stop now. COOKIE CALL ME BABY. I’ll tell every body to watch the show for you. LOL,” he wrote.
The rapper, who in the past has accused the Fox series of copying the
promotional campaign of his Starz drama “Power,” mocked the Fox series
last week on Instagram after it took a dig at him in its Season 2
premiere.
During Wednesday’s episode, Cookie Lyon dropped a wisecrack calling 50 Cent “thirsty.”
