‘Just Make Him Zeke[‘s] Brother’: 50 Cent Responds to YK Osiris Desire to be on ‘Power’

YK Osiris is tapping into the power of manifestation in hopes to land a role on Starz’s hit series “Power.” It looks like the show’s co-creator Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson got a hold of a video of the “Worth It” rapper pleading his case.

“I think it’s time to put ya boy in ‘Power’ man,” said Osiris in a video with 50’s name written over it. “I think it’s time, dawg. Put ya’ boy on ‘Power’ dawg. I’m telling you. That s–t on be crazy.”

He added, ‘I’m getting ‘Power’ this year; watch this.”

After viewing the video, 50 shared the view on Instagram with the caption, writing, “The youngn say he ready. I think if he work on acting, he can do something. What y’all think?”

Fans below in the comments began sharing their opinions and picking prospective roles for YK Osiris on any episode of the “Power” universe series. Many believe he could easily land a role on “Power II: Ghost” with Michael Rainey Jr.’s character Tariq or “Power IV: Force” opposite Joseph Sikora’s character Tommy.

One individual suggested Osiris could play “Tariq lil snitching cousin lol.” Another said, “Just make him Zeke[‘s] brother lol he won’t need no training lol.”

A third joked, “He can play a n—a that owes somebody money with ease.” Someone else said, “He could even play himself. He’s going to end up owing Tommy money for a bet, and the rest is history, lmao.”

Speaking to “Power” executive producer, 50 Cent, one person said, “Put him on OG! You have the power to change the game and help the youth, do it!”

Viewers find that it could be an excellent opportunity for YK Osiris to star in a hit television show for his first acting gig. But fans hope he doesn’t play a hitman who dies in the same episode in which he was introduced.

Someone wrote, “If he gets on ‘Power,’ he gotta get killed quick like they did Cedric the Entertainer in season six.”

YK Osiris kept it quiet on releasing new music in the past year. Instead, he dropped $325,000 on a pair of diamond earrings he later lost. At the time, Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson challenged his decision to spend so much money on material items.

“If Ocho Coco wanna go to Claire’s and spend $10 on earrings man I congratulate you,” said the 23-year-old. “You should do that, that’s your money. But you don’t go in no other man’s business and tell no other man how to spend no money.”

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.
