Naturi Naughton is supporting her Power co-star, Omari Hardwick, after show producer 50 Cent shared his belief that the actor “overvalues himself.”
During an interview with TMZ, Naughton, who played Tasha throughout the show’s six-season run and also appeared on “Power Book II: Ghost,” expressed her support for Hardwick, calling 50’s assessment of her co-star “insane.”
“That’s insane to me,” the actress said of Jackson’s claim that Hardwick overvalues himself.
“Omari is, literally, the epitome of power. Omari Hardwick started this amazing journey, and I don’t know all of what happened with 50 and O.”
She went on to state; I’ll say this: I love Omari Hardwick; he’s an amazingly talented human, and he’s also a good person, but there would be no power without Ghost, right? So, I hope that they can find love and peace between each other because much love to 50 and O.”
