50 Cent is nowhere near done with his one-man vendetta against Empire, and now he’s picking one against the BET Awards, which just aired last Sunday (June 28). 50 is crying foul for the network picking Terrence Howard as best actor over Power‘s Omari Hardwick. “It’s a damn shame what happened to the BET Awards. Fox bought the whole g-ddamned […]
