Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson plays host of special outdoor screening for series premiere of Power Book II: Ghost in the Hamptons

Executive producer Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson was on hand to play host of the festivities that was held at a drive-in theater-like setting in the exclusive Hamptons neighborhood in West Mill, New York. With the covid pandemic still a major health concern, drivers pulled up their cars in front of a large screen for the airing of the very first episode. Joseph Sikora, who starred in the original crime drama series “Power” for its entire six season run, hosted a pre-show event, with the help of 50 Cent, who got on stage in front of the screen to hype up the showing.

50 Cent looked dapper and summer ready in a fitted white suit over a white-striped vest and t-shirt. Jeffrey Hirsch, the President and Chief Executive Officer for Starz, also helped rally the guests with a party atmosphere.

50 Cent also took to his social media platforms to promote the premiere event and its TV debut on Starz.

“Power” is back better than ever. Some of the high-profile people who made their presence felt included former supermodel Christy Brinkley, actor John Leguizamo, journalist Jill Rappaport, CNN anchor Don Lemon and his husband Tim Malone, and Candace Bushnell, the best-selling author and creator of “Sex and the City”. The original “Power” series was a success with critics and viewers following its premiere in 2014, all the way until it wrapped in February 2020.

“Power Book II: Ghost” picks up the story just days after the “Power” finale and then follows Tariq, played by Michael Rainey, navigating his new life as he tries to shed his father’s legacy amid the mounting pressure to save his family. Along with Rainey, the sequel also star Naturi Naughton, Mary Blige, Method Man, Daniel Bellomy, Gianni Paolo, Justin McManus, LaToya Tonedeo, Lovell Adams-Gray, Melanie Liburd, Paige Hurd, Quincy Bernstine, Shane Johnson, and Woody McClain.
