50 Cent: The Money & The Power Gets the Axe


The New York Post reports that after only six episodes 50 Cent: The Money & The Power has been cut due to poor ratings and lack of buzz.

I'll admit the show needed work, but with shows like "Bromance" and "The City", a day full of "True Life", "Run's House", "Rob & Big", "Wild n Out", and "Cribs" marathons, I think 50's show could have survived its full run. Its called shove it down my throat and make me watch it because nothing else is on.

First of all, the casting was wack. Then the show moved to MTV2. I just don't think this show was created to work, it came off more like a joke. Plus with "I Want To Work for Diddy" having ended weeks prior, it didn't help with interest. It was a good idea at the time, but it was poorly executed with the military style set up and the constant arguments over nothing. Maybe next time 50. Curtis isn't hurt for money.

There needs to be a serious show for entrepreneurs in need of seed money, without all the circus acts, that gets straight to business. Just cut the bullshit.
