As loyal and devoted Power fans continuously piece together clues of if the beloved man and legend James St.Patrick also known as Ghost is actually alive or not, actor Omari Hardwick is speaking of his time on the franchise and how his career has further extended after!

While appearing on “The Pivot” podcast, Omari had a chance to break down the amount of money he made within his 6 years staring as the lead actor on “Power,”. He inadvertently confirmed that he later down the line made $150K an episode as he was originally paid less.

“How much do you think I made a week? An episode,” he asked the hosts, while they made estimates landing at $150,000 per episode. “You got it right, yeah,” Omari replied. “First time I’ve ever disclosed it.”

Omari also revealed that 50 cent helped him out in-between the earlier seasons and the respect they mutually have between one another.

“I think he forever just really, really respects the s*** out of me for that. We just not taught that in our community. For me to give it back to 50 with interest, I was just so proud to be able to do that, and it was early.” Omari continued, “He felt like, ‘D—n O, you can’t be messed up. You need money. It was the summer after season 1 and then it was the summer after season 2. He gave me $20,000 and then the next summer he gave me $23,000.”

Omari says that Fif was willing to lend a helping hand because he “adores” his wife Jennifer “Jae” Hardwick and their children. “He might like them more than me. It was absolutely given in a way of, like, you know take care of the family bro, use that.”

With over 20 years in the entertainment industry and being apart of numerous chart topping projects, Omari shares that he never received the money he should have made.

“I still haven’t made what I should have made. I still never made the money—no, the money, I never made what I should have made. Never,” Omari said. “Period. It’s happening now, finally.”

He says that he felt he “made it” following his exit from Power. He went on to joke that he earned “five dollars” from all the movies he appeared in prior.

Cousins, are you shocked by Omari’s statements?
