The anticipation about whether the character Ghost, portrayed by Omari Hardwick, might return to the Power series seems to have been settled with a recent development involving 50 Cent and Hardwick. In a recorded interview, Omari addressed fans, stating, “The way the story was sold and told to me is not befitting of the way it ended.” This comment seemingly offended 50 Cent, who took to X (formerly Twitter) on July 13, 2024, and wrote:

👀 This 🥷🏾 is a strange bird 🦜 the fuck is he talking about,🤨I never done nothing but look out for him. If he needed something I gave it to him. I understand now, that shit didn’t matter.

Ghost is a character deeply beloved by fans of the Power series. His complex persona—a combination of a ruthless drug kingpin and a loving father and husband—made him a multifaceted character that viewers couldn't help but root for. Ghost's dual life as James St. Patrick, a legitimate nightclub owner, and his alter ego as a powerful criminal mastermind, provided a gripping narrative that kept audiences hooked. His intelligence, charisma, and determination to leave the drug world behind for a legitimate business life added layers to his character, making him relatable despite his flaws. This complexity and depth are what made Ghost an integral part of the series and why his character resonated so strongly with fans.

The disappointment surrounding Ghost's death stems from several factors. First, his demise was abrupt and left many questions unanswered, which felt unsatisfying to the audience. The way his story ended did not seem to align with the character's journey and the narrative's buildup. Fans had hoped for a resolution that would either see Ghost finally achieving his dreams or facing a conclusion befitting his long and arduous journey. Instead, his death felt like a premature end to a character that had much more to offer in terms of development and story arcs. The feeling that Ghost's potential was unfulfilled contributed significantly to the fans' disappointment.

Moreover, Ghost's death had a profound impact on the series' dynamic. His presence was a central pillar of Power, and his absence left a noticeable void. Many viewers felt that the show's subsequent seasons lacked the same intensity and intrigue without him. The chemistry between Ghost and other key characters, particularly Tommy Egan, played by Joseph Sikora, and Tasha St. Patrick, played by Naturi Naughton, was a driving force of the series. With Ghost gone, these relationships lost some of their depth and complexity. This shift changed the tone of the show, leaving fans longing for the compelling interactions and storyline that Ghost brought to Power.

50 Cent is known for his deep and often public feuds. However, considering his business acumen, there remains a possibility he might set aside his feelings and bring back the Ghost character. Recently, 50 Cent has shown a willingness to reconcile with past adversaries, such as Lil Wayne, JadaKiss, and Fat Joe. This history of making amends for the sake of business ventures leaves some hope for fans wishing to see Ghost’s return.
