I never spent time with him I always wanted to know him." Though we've always known Lucious as having risen from poverty, Omari's theory is that Lucious' family got "all the money when he died, and we got nothing. He does have a theory though: Tariq and Lucious have different mothers, obviously, but share a father, who we've previously learned was shot to death. "That question hasn't been answered yet," Omari told. But what specific thing did he do to his half-brother Tariq to get him so focused on revenge?

Terrence is upset because he says he would have gotten paid by Paramount - the studio behind "Hustle & Flow" - if 20th Century Fox got a proper license to use his image from the movie. Terrence says "the still frame was selected, reversed (face looking left, not right), and subjected to CGI that simply distilled the cinematographer’s skilled capture of the head with vibrant light and shadow” to make the 'Empire' logo. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Terrence says he ultimately determined the image was taken from the "Hustle & Flow" scene where "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" is being recorded in a studio.Īccording to the docs. since he never sat down for a photoshoot. Terrence - who played Lucious Lyon on all 6 seasons of "Empire" - just filed a lawsuit claiming 20th Century Fox gave him the runaround when asked how it came up with the "Empire" logo.
