In a since-deleted Instagram post, 50 Cent used Michael K. Williams’ death to promote ‘Raising Kanan’ and the stunt rubbed people the wrong way.’
In a new Instagram post Tuesday afternoon, 50 shared a screenshot of a headline that said he was “under fire” for his comments and proceeded to promoted his show again.

50 Cent came under fire Monday for an inconsiderate Instagram post where he appeared to use the tragic death of Michael K. Williams to promote his Starz series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
“Damn if you didn’t see Raising Kanan check it out that fentanyl is no joke, 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ing the clientele. RIP michael k. williams,” 50 wrote in the deleted post. His caption referenced a New York Postarticle that has since been updated, and no longer mentions that fentanyl could have contributed to Williams’ suspected drug overdose. However, people couldn’t get past the unrelenting troll’s poor judgment.
Idc what anyone says, using someone’s tragic & untimely death to promote your own show with an insensitive ass caption is VILE.
