Power Universe lovers first got the news that another chapter is being added to the book on the Starz network, Power Origins, the beginnings of Ghost and Tommy, only to get the news that the future of Ghost is getting cancelled. Starz has canceled Power Book II: Ghost, with the show’s fourth season to serve as its last.
Ghost Jr., AKA Tariq St. Patrick AKA Michael Rainey Jr, when the news broke felt a lil blindside went live and said he found out when “Yall Did”. 50 Cent responded that if Riq answered his phone he would have known.
Interestingly enough Power Book II: Ghost was Starz most successful series that broke all records in season 3. We also know that 50 Cent had been threatening to leave Starz before the Universe even started poppin. So what happened?
