Last month, Terrence Howard, who starred as Lucious Lyon on Empire, sued his agents for conspiring with the Fox network to suppress his salary on the musical drama, which aired between 2015 and 2020.
The suit claims it was part of a practice called "packaging," in which the studio pays the agency to get a star on the project.
Because of the deal, Howard argues he only got 325K an episode. Meanwhile, around the same time, TV leading men Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey cleared 500K per episode for Mad Men and House Of Cards, respectively.
When 50 Cent caught word of the lawsuit, he had something to say.
