‘I Would Literally Risk it All:’ Omari ‘Ghost’ Hardwick Sends ‘Power’ Fans into A Frenzy with Muscle Pic

Omari Hardwick, who plays James “Ghost” St. Patrick on the show “Power,” shared a photo from one of his workouts, and it left many of his fans in awe.

The actor posted the photo on Wednesday (Feb. 27), and it shows him wearing headphones, a skully and grey sweatshirt with the words “active faith” on it. He also flexed his biceps in the picture.

“On my ghOst sh–,” Hardwick wrote next to the photo. “But the active FAITH got me most lit. #GODmorningALLmyghOstRiders👻.”

The photo received almost 80,000 likes in just nine hours and nearly 1000 comments that included compliments, some lustful messages and a few marriage proposals.

“Wow your wife is so lucky 😩,” someone wrote.

“I Love Ur sexy Azz 😍😍😘,” wrote another.

And there was one woman who revealed what she’d be willing to chance for a crack at the 45-year-old.

“I would literally risk it all…😩😍❤️🔥🙌🏾,” she admitted.

Hardwick has been really wowing his fans with Instagram posts this week.

On Tuesday, he shared an image of himself and TV son Michael Rainey Jr., who plays Tariq. And on that same day Hardwick shared a photo of himself with Rotimi, who plays Andre Coleman on the show, which got plenty of attention.

“Nigga…I’m Nigerian too,” Hardwick captioned that photo. “#23andMe #SexyBurntButtaScotch #BattleOfTheButtaScotches.”

Rotimi’s parents are Nigerian and he grew up in Maplewood, N.J.

Meanwhile, underneath Hardwick’s muscle photo, fans continued to ask when “Power” is coming back, as they usually do whenever someone from the cast shares a picture.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
