The sudden promotion was a change in tune for how 50 appeared to recently feel about STARZ. In May 2021, Fifty hit up his Instagram page to acknowledge making a social media mistake. 50 posted up a since-deleted shot of his “Power Book III” actress Patina Miller and – after getting STARZ upset – called out the network for being a mess. The rap heavyweight and “Power” executive producer also acknowledged he needed to create his empire quicker before heading to the hill.
“STARZ is upset i posted @patinamiller ?♂️I didn’t know that picture wasn’t out, but i do know i have to build faster and get the fuck outta here this sh*t is a mess.”
The drama ignited a few reactions including a post from rap star Snoop Dogg. However, a handful of people shared their concerns for 50’s relationship with STARZ.

“When you post again we’ll act just as excited as the first time you posted ?”
“Man tell them to relax ?… It’s a method to your madness !!! They should know that by now.”
“Tell Starz you need that money by Monday fif?”
“Starz should be bowing down with how you revived them with power that run was huge”
“Tell them your show is the only reason we stay subscribed.”
