50 Cent's Power Universe is full of cultivating plotlines and dynamic on-screen duos such as Ghost (Portrayed by Omari Chadwich) and Tommy Egan (Portrayed by Joseph Sikora). The first spin-off from the television franchise, Power: Book II, has already launched the careers of Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo into another stratosphere of stardom for their roles as 'Tariq St. Patrick,' and 'Brayden.' Nevertheless, fans of the Power Universe seem to prefer the raw grittiness of the 'Tommy Egan' character, as Power Book IV: Force shattered records earlier this year as the most viewed show ever to premiere on the STARZ Network. Indeed, success is at an all time high for the creators, actors and actresses inovled with the Power Universe. Nevertheless, it looks like there's trouble in paradise, as a bit of animosity appears to be brewing between Jospeh Sikora and Gianni Paolo. Last week, Sikora posted a message on Instagram as a direct response to the lack of enthusiasm displayed between the two actors when they crossed paths, while on stage during a live performance by their boss, 50 Cent.
“Ever think about the reason you have a job??? Chill out Brayden.”
While Paolo never responded to the message directly, at least not in a public manner, he seemingly took a snarky swipe at his old co-star from the original Power series during a recent episode of the podcast that he co-hosts with his friend, Michael Rainey Jr. called The Crew Has It. Towards the end of the duo's interview with the actor who portrays 2-Bit (Michael J. Ferguson) in Power Book II: Ghost, Paolo playfully gave the Tommy character a shoutout, which garnered laughs from Rainey Jr. and the interviewee, Ferguson. This prompted a discussion about playful debate about who would win in an on-screen fight between Tommy Egan and Brayden.
"Shoutout to the character Tommy," Paolo said with a huge grin on his face.
"Hold on! Hold on!" Exclaimed Ferguson, as he laughed. "Let's keep it real, Tommy would smoke Brayden. Let's keep it real! Let's keep it real!"
"Maybe right now!" Responded Paolo.
"I don't know about real life, but in the show, Tommy's smokin' Brayden!"
"Maybe, right now, we'll see what happens!" Paolo said.
