From Scandal to Empire, it seems like being gay is the “in thing” these days. On almost every television show, a gay character is exuding his right to be “gay” and it seems that no one is daring to challenge this.

Well, then there is Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent. Empire is a show that is pushing the button when it comes to being gay. However, Empire’s ratings took a dip during an episode where they were pushing the button.

50 Cent thinks he knows exactly why Empire‘s ratings took a dip during the second episode of the season — and it has something to do with “gay stuff.” In a now-deleted Instagram post, he re-posted a photo and caption from another page that read:“There are 3 million less viewers who tuned into last night’s Empire episode!!!! did you watch it? We could not take the extra gay stuff or celebrity stuff last night!!!!

”50 Cent added more thoughts, suggesting that Taraji P. Henson’s Empire character call him for help.

If you’re wondering what ratings dip he’s referring to, Empire‘s season two premiere garnered a massive 16 million viewers, but the season’s second episode dropped to 13.7 million viewers.

Do you think 50 Cent is right?
