Lil Meech roasts the cast of "Power Book II: Ghost" ahead of season 3 premiere.

There are few things that 50 Cent enjoys more in the world than free marketing. BMF star Lil Meech took a page out of Fif’s book and began berating the cast of Power Book II: Ghost this week, beginning with Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. Eventually, he dragged his father, Big Meech, into the conversation, who stated that he doesn’t think Power can stand next to BMF. Meech stated that the show didn’t seem realistic by any means, and criticized Rainey’s character, Tariq.

50 Cent executive produces both shows, but he has no problem pitting them against each other for the sake of views. The rapper shared a promo picture of Power Book II: Ghost including an image of Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo. “Ghost is coming back @michaelraineyjr said that BMF shit ain’t hitting,” Fif captioned the post. Of course, it didn’t take long for Lil Meech or Rainey to react to Fif’s post. We thought the beef was put to rest but clearly, that wasn’t the case.

Lil Meech Tells 50 Cent: “This Look Like A Star Trek Promo”

It didn’t take long for Lil Meech to slide into the comment section of 50 Cent’s post and take aim at the Power cast. First, he criticized Gianni Paolo for looking as “soft as cotton.” However, he echoed his father’s sentiments surrounding Tariq’s lifestyle – living as a college student while trying to have one foot in the streets. “5 I hop this season he not still taking UBER and bringing his girls to his dorm. Can the n***a atleast buy a house?” Meech wrote under the post. 

Later on, Meech shared a screenshot of 50 Cent’s post and compared the look of the latest Ghost promo shoot to Star Trek. “This look like a Star Trek promo,” he wrote. “Look at their serious face.” From there, he further reiterated that Tariq should spend money on something other than lawyer fees and Ubers this season. “LMAO somebody tell bro buy a Hellcat this season or sumn so he can stop walking home putting miles on them Air Forces,” he added. Check out Meech’s comments above.
