During his interview with Forbes New Money Power's Michael Rainey Jr. best known for his role as Tariq St.Patrick dished out a few interesting facts. Together both he and Forbes journalist Rosemarie Miller went down memory lane discussing the past and present day of his career. In addition, the pair also touched on the ending of "Power Book II: Ghost".
Initially, a few weeks ago, STARZ announced the show was coming to an end and while many fans were devastated some say they saw it coming. Rainey took to Instagram Live to let his fans know that he too did not know the show was coming to an end. When asked if he and 50 were cordial after the "blindside" incident he stated he was taking a page out of his mentor/friend's book.
Anyone who follows 50 closely, would most certainly agree he is the ultimate jokester, some would even call it trolling. Rainey came clean and told the interviewer he was joking and knew the show was going to end way before the announcement was made. "We had a talk about it, the studio and I and 50. But I really pulled a page out of 50's book kind trolling everybody..cause like why not stir the pot a little bit. Obviously, 50 came back with "Yeah we ending the show cause you don't answer your phone". Just a little back and forth to get the fans thinking... Just to stir the pot a little bit."
Getting back on track the Rainey and Miller began touching on several other topics related to his career and in the conversation we picked up on a few interesting facts.
