Friday (Jan. 5) night, TMZ caught up with Joey Badass and asked him about his role ending as Unique in 50 Cent’s “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.” Many fans were shocked and saddened when the actor’s popular character was killed in Episode 5 of Season 3.
When asked how he felt about being written off the show, Badass said, “Yeah, I was very mad. I was upset, you know, fortunately, I have two careers that I am balancing, and I had to go on tour, and we really couldn’t make it work.” He continued on to say, “Who knows though, maybe we can start a petition or something and tell 50 Cent to bring me back.”
The popular drama-filled series features Patina Miller, Mekai Curtis, Malcolm Mays and more. The dynamic spin-off is a prelude to 50 Cent’s popular STARZ series “Power.” After the episode aired, Badass shared a highlight reel of some scenes from the show captioned, “Unique Forever. Much love to my [‘Raising Kanan’] family. It was an honor and [a] pleasure.”
On the post, one fan said, “My n**ga it’s just not adding up for me… Your character was too strong in the storyline for it to end like this [and] so early in the season… Much success going forth, but ion like this s**t at all, B” Another stated, “Unique’s death cut deep, but my goodness did you BODY THAT ROLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” G Herbo even commented, “Nahhhh, Ronnie some Snake a** n**ga, B.”
