So this is what happened, all right? Y'all not going to shame me for my role, all right?
I'm playing with y'all. We're just trying to ask.
The role didn't start out as a double.
The role started with season two, I believe, episode nine. Tommy had went to jail, and he's in jail, and he sees a guy who looks like Ghost.
And then he goes to him, and he's like, hey, Ghost, hey, Ghost. And then I turn around, and I say, the fuck you looking at?
And then he realized, wait a minute.
That's not Ghost.
After that episode is when the producers was like, yo, you look and your body type is a lot like Omari. Right. And he was like, how are you interested in being his stunt double? So my thing was, just like you, I said, nigga be walking around in suits. What the fuck does he need a stunt double for? But I'll do it. Okay. Because I wanted to learn.
I wanted to see what it's like to be a leading man in a drama, the number one drama on all the television. So I'm doing that. And years before that, I had did 50 Cent's funeral video. I had played Remo. So one thing about 50 Cent, y'all got to know this. 50 Cent remembers everyone who's been around.
He does because, I mean, he's from Queens. I'm from Brooklyn. I understand this type of environment. He's from Queens. He's had beef his whole life. When people are around you, you make sure you can recognize who's around you. So I was around him all day shooting this video. Two years later, I go to do Power, and he looks at me like, yo, I said, Remo.
And he's just like, yo, what's good, my G? Like, people think 50 Cent is like this hard guy who always, he is. But he's also a businessman, an astute businessman. So me being a Brooklyn guy, it's the end of the night. It's like 1.30. Of course, I'm just the stunt double. Stunt doubles don't really do shit. You know, so 50 Cent's walking through the lobby. I see him. He's with a little PA.
And I'm like, this is my chance. I'm going to go holler at 50. So I jump up. Everybody's quiet. It's 50 Cent. I'm like, what? 50 said, come through. I get up. He getting on the elevator. I go to get on the elevator. The PA puts his hand in my chest. I'm like, oh, no, you're not. Excuse me.
He know me. Walked right through that. Right. And then 50 was smirking. And I was like, yo, 50, what up? So then when he started talking to me, the PA was like, okay, I guess this is cool. So I said, yo, 50, man.
I was real comfortable. I was real comfortable because I'm like, this is my moment. This is my moment. You know what I'm saying? Right. Walked in that bitch. I was like, fifth, what up? He was like, what's up, my G? And I was just like, yo, I like you, yo. You a bully like me. I'm a bully too. See how I got on the elevator. So he started laughing. And I was like, yo, this is before BMF was out.
I said, y'all want to be on BMF? Mm-hmm. He was just like, yo, we're going to work. We're going to work. Never got a chance.
You know how that go.
But what he did do, he's like, yo, what else you got going on? He's like, yo, come with me. I went with him to his dressing room. He looked at my social media because I told him the stuff I was working on. He saw my videos of my family before they ever went viral.
And 50 Cent said, yo, this shit is hilarious. He said, yo, you got to keep doing this. He was like, let me tell you something. He was like, don't worry about the views. What you have here is a catalog of content, which means all you need is one video to go viral. And when people see that video, they're going to go back and see what other videos.
And when they see that you do this, they'll follow you and they'll share because it's not a one hit wonder. Right. I was like, oh, he right. So that was June. That was June, I believe, 2016. Okay. Yeah. September 2016, Kyra was born. I do a video, it goes viral. I had about a thousand videos. All of those videos now getting hundreds of thousands of views.
The first thing I thought was 50 was right.
