50 Cent wants his Power character to be killed off because he didn't get a Golden Globe nomination

'Golden Globes can suck a d*ck'

The day the Golden Globes nominations are announced is a celebration for some, a little moment of disappointment for others.

For 50 Cent, it was a moment of travesty. Unfortunately, his Starz show Power failed to land a single nomination in the TV category; a revelation that he was less than happy about.

Taking to Instagram, in an evocative shot of him sadly looking at his phone and (presumably) the bad news that he wasn't nominated, 50 Cent wrote: "Golden Globes can suck a d*ck. I accept my series Power was not intended to be a signature show for the network but it is the highest rated show. I know my audience very well, I'm done promoting this outside of contractual obligations. SEASON 4 KANAN MUST DIE, I got other sh*t to do."

He then posted another photo of what appears to be a fake promo for the show's fourth season, with Floyd Mayweather replacing himself; with a caption reading, "I'm off the Power train, champ is gonna do the show. Go to him for more info, I gotta do something different".

The rapper executive produces the show as well as starring in a main role; in a series which follows NYC nightclub owner James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) as he struggles to balance his work, marriage, and dealings in one of the city's biggest illegal drug networks.

Power has sat fairly low on the critical radar, though its third season saw ratings surge by more than 50% after a move to Sunday night - outperforming Starz's other major drama Outlander, which saw a Golden Globe nomination for its lead Caitriona Balfe. The question is: does popularity automatically deserve critical accolade?

Power has been renewed for both season 4 and season 5, though an insider told Variety that there's no internal concern that 50 Cent will actually leave the show.
