The 2017 Golden Globe nominations were released this week and absent was 50 Cent’s Starz hit Power. The rapper was feeling frustrated with the slight, turning to Instagram to voice his displeasure with the nominations, saying that Floyd Mayweather will be replacing him.
“I accept my series POWER was not intended to be a signature show for the network but it is the highest rated show. I know my audience very well, I’m done promoting this out side of contractual obligations,” 50 wrote. In July, Power was renewed for two additional seasons, thanks in part to the 3.37 million viewers who tuned in for the season three premiere, making it the most-watched episode in network history. That milestone should, as 50 sees it, translate to more recognition, though the drama categories, as seen below, are chock full of prestige dramas and powerful performances.
Shortly after posting the above photo to IG, 50 said this of Floyd Mayweather taking his place, “I’m off the POWER train, champ is gonna do the show. Go to him for more info, I gotta do something different.”
A spokesperson for Starz spoke to Variety about the snub, saying, “We are grateful for the excellent work being done on Power by the producers, cast and crew. We certainly think this exceptional show has been overlooked by various awards committees, but the fans have made it the second most watched show on premium cable in 2016…and those are accolades that mean just as much if not more.”

Dude was horrible on the show anyway...served no purpose
-
Lmao wtf this is like replacing Aunt Vivian
-
Kanan is a cool character. Its just a little much with 50's ego. That's kind of why I don't believe he quitting for real.
-
Kanan shoulda died in the fire.
I like the show but tbh last season wasn't that great. The writers have a habit of dragging out some of the story lines to the point they're not that interesting anymore. -
I don't think The Wire got any awards either. 50 knows whitey don't ? with us.

You tripping like ? . The show is missing something when his character is not on there. Kanan brings an element to the show that no other character has come close to bringing. -
Bruh what element?
-
The true villain, a real killer. The one person most people think can out move Ghost snitching ass and bring him down. Even though we know that is never going to happen.
The element of you never knowing wtf he might do.
-
Floyd gonna be 49-1 after that script whoops his ass
-
50 in his feels as always
Can Floyd even read the script? -
Oh wow...
-

False. Kanaan is a great villain. -
? He's The Reason I Avoided That ? In The First Place
-
-
I wouldn't go that far, but like most rappers his acting wasn't that good. His character should've stayed dead like @eastbay510 said.Dude was horrible on the show anyway...served no purpose
-

Since Ghost always overcome the odds in Power. The writers will probably a script that Ghost win a fight against Mayweather -
yeah he only talkin ? because he's about to get killed this season. nothing more nothing less. no young
-
Lol, this dude act like ? won't quit the show when he's finally killed off. ? wouldn't be worth watching after that.
-
-
There is still so much past history between ghost, tommy and kanan that have to come full circle.
-
Still trying to be accepted...come on 50 you should know the game by now.
-
if he dies the show dies
-
Okay 50 promotes the hell outta this show. And rightfully should be upset about no nominations but quit... he's like the young boy who beats everyone in ball then when he loses he takes the ball and goes home
