50 Cent previously invited various cast members from his ‘Power’ series to come on stage and party with him while he performed. While the rapper was performing, actor Joseph Sikora came on stage and dapped up every actor he saw except ‘Power: Book II’ actor Gianni Paolo. The actor known as “Brayden” on the series took to social media to air out Sikora, saying he’s been snubbing him for years at this point. Now, Sikora has fired back with some words of his own. 

Sikora took to Instagram and posted a photo of him in character as Tommy on ‘Power,’ along with the caption: “Ever think about the reason you have a job??? Chill out Brayden.” As of now, Paolo hasn’t responded. Take a look above.

50 Cent recently was performing and invited cast members from various shows within his ‘Power’ series to come onstage. While on stage, each cast member could be seen dapping each other up. However, when Joseph Sikora, known for his role as Tommy Egan in the original ‘Power’ series, got to Gianni Paolo, Sikora could be seen ignoring the actor. 

Paolo is known for playing Brayden, the college roommate of Tariq. Paolo put his hand out for Sikora to shake, but Sikora simply ignored him. The actor posted the footage to TikTok and was asked by a commenter, “Why he look at ya hand then look away.” Paolo said, “adults being childish 😓.” 

Another commenter wrote: “But at least you was grown about it on stage because I would’ve [stopped] the whole damn concert 😂.” Paolo said, “I respect 50 way too much to do that.” The actor then liked a comment that called Sikora’s actions “very opp-ish behavior.” Take a look above.
