50 Cent is facing yet another lawsuit over the hit TV series “Power,” after two men claimed he stole the idea from them.
According to a lawsuit filed in a Manhattan Federal Court, it is alleged that 50 Cent stole the concept for the breakout Starz hit series from a pilot episode of a show titled “Dangerous” which was pitched to him in March 2011.
The pilot episode of “Dangerous,” which was written by R. Byron Hord and Curtis Scoon is centered around a black drug dealer trying to escape the drug game. The pilot also focused on the character’s relationships with his white Irish gangster friend and his girlfriend.
