![Courtney Kemp says she is “completely bewildered” that 50 Cent keeps bringing her up, and she said it after he named her as the one collaborator he never wants to work with again.
50 sat down with Variety to promote Street Fighter, the new film adaptation of the video game series, where he plays Balrog. He was asked if he had ever clashed with anyone so badly that he would never work with them again, and he answered right away. “Courtney [Kemp]. I don’t look forward to working with her ever again,” he said. “I don’t think that she’s wholeheartedly a bad person, I just think that it got out of control for her. After the success of ‘Power,’ she would go, ‘I wrote it.’”
He also described tension behind the scenes. “There was all kinds of weird [expletive] going on, but it got to a point where Courtney was trying to run the entire network through one show,” he told the outlet. He added that Kemp did not want to do Raising Kanan, the Power prequel, because she did not want to tell a story where viewers already knew the ending.
50 then made his case for more credit. He said he pitched Power to Chris Albrecht, who was running Starz at the time, by switching back and forth between explaining the show and playing music. He said he produced eight songs for that pitch, including the theme. When Variety asked whether Courtney Kemp had downplayed his role, his answer was short: “I think she forgot.”
Kemp responded in a statement to Variety. “While 50’s recollection of budgets and production requirements is uninformed, as he was rarely in a budget meeting, I have never once understated his importance in the genesis of ‘Power,’” she said. “That said, I am completely bewildered by his need to mention me in interviews or podcasts. I have completely moved on in my career, and I hope that the imminent success of ‘Street Fighter’ allows him to do the same.”](https://s11.imginn.com/858088352_18693632071043519_9128176142861356102_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/858088352_18693632071043519_9128176142861356102_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p720x720_tt6&_nc_cat=111&ig_cache_key=NDAxMDg0MTc5ODMwNTg5ODQxOA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkZFRUQueHBpZHMuMTA4OC5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=Yg9SSNgchiEQ7kNvwGUWjHV&_nc_oc=Adrjvb7chmGaTyY6wiwLVHQq51lqHb6XZ07DrT8QRex40kW1NDfO4dxRmGVbdV_d6CJyPQKLrX9699dBvVWna-xs&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=_vGudt2O_iFan83iFs2zhA&_nc_ss=70689&oh=00_AQM2FpMisfEqHbzaYAPRqMxu7sJhbQuq_kGsYh-ONa1FTg&oe=6ADBAD36)
