[@blackadam7867]

Omari is one cool dude and humble af. Hands down one of the best actors on TV today. I'd love to see him play John Stewart (Green Lantern) in the DCEU.

[@cynthiagivens8996]

Forget his looks...the broths is an excellent actor. He can adapt to any character! And yes he is extremely handsome!

[@viking6343]

[@Cornwall1888]

I thought power was average, a lot of cliches, but I stuck with it and it's pretty good.

[@plk6953]

Exactly, cliches until 50 popped his own son i was like daamn

[@002brooklyn]

[@bigsearch8784]

[@mentorman6285]

I got a sense Ghost is looking up to Denzel ( especially when he was Frank Lukas _ American Ganster )

[@cieper4735]

His Marriage Is Super Great

[@cieper4735]

But His Wife Is Absolutely Beautiful.

[@warrenlondon2426]

FREE GHOST! 😎

[@Moodymsmo30]

sorry, POWER over empire any day!

[@keithcrockett9954]

LadyMs Moody no competition there, power grown man biz, empire is petty shit

[@RapperHolik]

[@cornellacoppedge5747]

I love omari hardwick!! So talented and gorgeous

[@Ace_Rothstein]

[@oliviak2578]

[@malikmoore6551]

I feel like a fucking crack fiend i need that new season for power

[@ladyb3722]

Damn he's fine.... great actor also 🤗

[@cornellacoppedge5747]

Lady b, yes he is

[@kaykaybhoo1]

This a Beautiful Wise Man I hope God bless me with a husband like him ❤

[@tremellk]

People have known about stars for a very long time Omari....(Spartacus put them on the map), but I agree with HBO just being the big kid on the block. Just be lucky it didn't get canceled yet. Magic City, Boss, and other good Starz shows can't say the same.

[@celebratelife3754]

Power 💥

[@talkswithTinaB]

I love how Omari explained why Ghost left Tasha for Angie. I totally agree. What I admire most about the character Ghost is his composure and principles. That's a crazy way to describe a murderous drug dealer but that's neither here nor there, lol. But he can totally be that guy with a different chick every night and living it up like he's in Paid in Full or something. I believe he gave Tasha the opportunity to see him but she chose the "life." Angie saw him beyond any superficial title or position. If Angie had been asked by Ghost to hold a gun I believe she may have in the moment but afterwards would have done all she could to remind him of who he was and he wouldn't have been so comfortable with compromising that in the ways he ended up doing. Anyway, this show is very similar to relationships I've had in my life only mine didn't end so well. So I see Angie as much more than a side chick, she was the light at the end of the tunnel for Ghost. Corny but true lol. I love this show!

[@desmondwatts670]

Goes you badass man

[@Constructionanddesign_inc]

I wondered why he didn’t win an Emmy for Power didn’t know no awards put them up 😢 in any category

[@stevenspicer]

BrOo..Next Day Air was Lit for me brOo lol

[@MightMouse2174]

Please stop comparing Empire and Power they are two different shows

[@bcole1637]

they just shitted on rudy..hahahaha

[@timoaksproductions]

when the new season

[@SammeeDee25]

What does Power have to do with Empire and vice versa?

[@oye2221]

I like your last name bro lol.

[@MartinVGuy]

I do power parties

[@bkbabyqnzlady]

where can i find his song. couldn't find it on soundcloud

[@Brownie8986]

bkbabyqnzlady here you go. I had the same problem! 😊adrianswish.com/omari-hardwick-x-josiah-bell-bloodshed-via-vibe/

[@jasonborne4931]

Next Day Air you knew Omari was the truth

[@freespirit2547]

90inc Wow!!! 👀

[@KMas89]

'"and someone wants everyone to know they're a bisexu..." LMAO

[@SnowieSundae]

Is it the trees in this pink pipe or does Omari sound like DMX minus the coking up, barking, and saying "dog"?!?🙃

[@mrspeaker89]

So next season if Ghost gets out of jail, I guess he'll start performing in his club? 🤔

[@malcomx2pac606]

Top 10 All-Time 1. Ol Dirty Bastard 2. Crunchy Black 3. Styles P 4. 50 Cent 5. Nas 6. Bun B 7. Lil Wayne 8. Eminem 9. Notorious BIG 10. T.I.P Facts People!!!! Fuck Opinions...

[@plk6953]

Hahahaah that is your opinion so how can you say ''fuck opinions'' Lmao.. It's a cool list tho.

[@plk6953]

1.Lloyd Banks (PLK) 2. Biggie (witty) 3. Eminem(lyrical miracle) 4. Jadakiss(never had a wack verse 5. 50 cent(best gangsta rapper DOA)

[@dlkc2000]

2pac was the most important figure in the history of rap that actually talked to his people and wanted to uplift an entire race even while dwelling with the killers. The most important individual in all of music on the levels beyond Marley and whoever else.

[@nmessai215]

dlkc2000 Nah PAC is overrated. He's one of the best but true hip hop heads rarely have PAC as the goat

[@plk6953]

dlkc2000 Ok first off i can tell you love Pac. Pac is the most INFLUENTIAL hip hop artist ever we all know that. But as an acutal MC ( we are not talking about legacy here).. as an acutal MC, ALOT of rappers are better. He was nowhere near the lyrical skill level(wordplay, punchlines etc.) that Biggie, Lloyd Banks, Eminem, Nas, Jadakiss and ALOT more rappers are on. We are not talking about the most ''important figure''.. only on the MC scale. And 2pac was great at that but there are better.

[@MrBloodyD]

Where Lela at doe?.

[@terencebrown7095]

WHERE IS SEASON 4 😐

[@YouReallyDontKnow]

Terence Brown coming in the summer

[@virnahurt7403]

Jay-z maybe rich,but will never be that fine and dangerous!

Right

#Power 4Life...~2$'z~

[@vevomaxx5779]

The show need to spend money on top flight writers.

[@Skinnychelle48]

Sway's show is so popular, he needs a co-host who at least appears to enjoy her/her job. Someone with a bit more personality would be good. Her personality is a bit dry.

[@20brookskj]

He's the next Denzel

[@MrMegga-gt8ly]

Get us Obama sway!!!

[@iammedia8420]

Him and kirk franklin sounds exactly alike

[@redwingwizz964]

so we act like Tracy G didnt just say "somebody wants the world to know they're bisexual"

[@marcussmith7669]

is it just me or sway's computer is half-way sticking out of the table? why? just why?

[@215Smith]

Did SWAY give him a blood handshake??

[@Cloneme12]

Sizzle Ways looked that way lol

[@loyalty773]

Sizzle Ways No

[@luischeche5757]

Sizzle Ways what time in the video?

[@sg7808]

Show is not amazing, but it pretty cool. It still suffers from some cliches and bad acting from some people in the series, but Omari is great.

[@TheBigTerm]

Alexander Lex it angers me as a black man that we can't self evaluate and state the obvious..

[@karishmamartin8196]

Dayummm omari looks fine 😍🤤

[@msnisha2009]

His wife won. Period.

[@cieper4735]

News Flash His Wife Is Beautiful

[@cuthbertbrown1801]

sway is a messssss...hahahaha

[@k88811]

I don’t have a ISSUE with the ACTING…..just the THEFT of my REAL LIFE….and the “creator “, pretending she made this up from her IMAGINATION…she is a PLAGIARIST…period

[@MrGNugget]

this past season got a lil dumb with the story towards the end, but still a good show. 50 Cent should have died in the season before but we'll see what happens with Ghost's dumbass son.

[@KingNez89]

#freestpatrick

[@DJUndershep]

Power is a decent show. But the writing is weak. It is NOT the Wire or Sopranos or Ray Donovan. Get better writers and storylines and maybe awards will come,

[@kofiamuah8157]

only season 1 and two of power were good. in season 3 and 4, it got a lot like empire which was heartbreaking for us the fans. Even when it was good, it was nowhere near the wire. lets kill that now!! the wire is king!

[@BlueJayFromDa9]

Kofi Amuah Season 4 not even out yet how can you judge lol?

[@bryantraindle3483]

get yo ass on

[@kofiamuah8157]

lol... my bad.. but u see.... thats how uninterested i've gotten. there were too many implausible scenes and scenes that had nothing to do with the actual story (like 50 fingering that girl before the very boring heist). Power started out to be the best black show of recent times and got commercial real quick!

[@Brownie8986]

Kofi Amuah just remember, season 4 + 5 haven't even aired yet. season 4 comes back in July tho 😉 have faith, luv. it can still get better. ☺

[@johneta7665]

Kofi Amuah I have never seen the Wire. Don't feel like I'm missing anything.i used to hang out in Baltimore in the late 90's. No big deal

[@MarcusLeonard307]

How come black folks don't hate on this guy for marrying a white woman???

[@Shayno1234]

Why hate on a black guy dating a white women y’all niggas weird as hell it his life not yours

[@tizo2720]

SWAY THROWING UP GANG SIGNS NOW? OR ILLUMINATI SIGNS?

[@myjoi212]

He has a weird personality to me, I cant put my finger on it but he is a good actor but outside being in character, his true personality isn't that great. He's full of himself.
