Ratings for Fox’s hit TV series Empire took a major dip after their second episode and many people are blaming it on the number of “gay scenes”.
According to reports, ratings for Fox’s Empire dropped 18 percent in their second episode. But, despite the drop in ratings the show was the week’s most watched show and gained in numbers in the key demographic.
But, in a post that has since been deleted, Fifty Cent reposted an Instagram user’s post that pointed out the second episode of Empire had 3 million fewer viewers, blaming int on too many celebrity cameos and too many “gay” plots. “There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it?” it read. “We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!”
50 cent added, “Empire’s ratings took a huge hit. Okay I’ll stop now. Cookie call me baby. I’ll tell every body to watch the show for you.”
This is not the first time 50 cent called out Empire, earlier he called it “some sh*t you get for free,” as opposed to his premium cable series Power, which is “worth paying for.”
But, 50 Cent should not be too worried about the competition. Power was picked up for a third season after its ratings record-breaking season 2 premiere.
