At this point, rapper 50 Cent's bitterness towards the hit drama series "Empire" is downright humorous. Earlier this week, Fifty hyped the highly-anticipated return of his own hip-hop show with this viral Instagram post:

50cent: "Empires are built on POWER #powerreturns JUNE 6 #SMSAUDIO #FRIGO #EFFENVODKA #POWERTV."

Nice play on words, there...

Wonder if actress Taraji P. Henson is fuming right about now. Read more on the ongoing industry "beef" here.

According to the G-Unit emcee, "Empire" isn't horrible - the premise is just a total rip-off! Fans should just tune-in to "Power," instead.

Several fans actually agree:

youngtez513: "Everyone thinking its shade being thrown because 50 cent name attached to it... There is no shade just great marketing. Stop reaching! Power > Empire #Inferior #TeamPower."

thefamousgirlz: "Looks very powerful @50cent."

thatblaccn*gga: "Ya n*ggas dumb cause it only took 5 months to make season 2 that's normal sh*t for a tv show how long you think empire gonna take you r*tards its gonna come back on next year it's ran by seasons you idiots so they have to wait till next winter to premier part 2 that's how shows go."

elduroang: "About time @50cent (thumbs up).

wola1986: "Ah ah i liked your style the way how you bring it down."

izrealbk718: "Okay fifth, I see you boi... taking over the screens huh, I hear that... can't wait to see it, keep doing your thing my G."

dianiadiva: "Funny you say, 'Empires are built on Power' but Empire says 'Empire got the Power'... we will see."

mizzkatkat2u: "THATS TRUTH ️BANG (IM UR BIGGEST FAN) @50cent."
goldmanstacks: "Like I said on Twitter, only dope black cast & crew show that's not pushing that gay agenda bs to black culture. This show keeps it real with great plots and acting. #PowerReturns."

beau.kai.ful Wooiii June ca reach yet!!! Ahh sh*t man... Power gonna shellllll out Empire."

But "Empire" is currently a huge success - can Fifty really catch back up? "Power" is hard for some viewers to catch, considering it airs on a premium channel (Starz).

"Power" premiered in June 2014 and was later renewed for a 10-episode second season later this year.
