Joseph Sikora and Gianni Paolo have squashed their beef as the actors were recently spotted hugging it out.
In photos and videos shared over the weekend, the two actors were seen hanging out with cast member Michael Rainey Jr., and they all appeared in good spirits, with one photo showing Joseph Sikora and Gianni Paolo hugging. The three actors also appear to be shooting on an episode of The Crew Has It Podcast, where they are expected to clear the air and address the beef.
Michael Rainey Jr. also shared a snippet of the upcoming appearance where the two men shared a laugh and hug.
Last month, ‘Power’ producer 50 Cent reacted to the two Power Book actors beefing. The producer, although finding the whole thing amusing, also asked that the two actors, who are the only two main Caucasian actors in the series, to make up.
The beef was noticeable at 50 Cent’s Tycoon event in Houston, Texas, recently, where the men appeared to ignore each other. Tensions continued with the younger of the two, Gianni, who plays actor Brayden in ‘Power’ calling out Joseph, who plays ‘Tommy.’
“You pressed? I would be too,” Gianni had said- “some ppl just insecure [shrugging and crying emoji].”
He continued in an Instagram Story, “[I’ve] shown nothing but love for the ppl before me. I respect 50 way too much to do that.”
Gianni later shared a screenshot of a comment where Joseph appeared to shade him.
“Listen I was gonna leave this s**t alone but ppl Keep sending me this and this dude just straight up telling lies. It’s not ‘all good’, I asked him in the elevator what his deal was with me cause he’s been doing this sit for years when I’ve shown nothing but respect and love .. he kept just saying he doesn’t f**k with me. Nothing was resolved. Stop spreading lies cause people are pressing you about your saltiness,” he said in a lengthy post.
50 Cent, however, wanted the actors to shut things down. It’s good that the two actors made peace as 50 Cent heads to a new network with his TV shows.

Rowdy Rebel Denies He’s Beefing Bobby Shmurda After NBA YoungBoy Spat

Rowdy Rebel is not in agreement his Bobby Shmurda that he was wrong to speak on King Von’s death.
Last week, Bobby Shmurda and NBA YoungBoy were locked in a heated back and forth on social media, which came much as a surprise to fans. It turned out that a statement by Rowdy Rebel on King Von’s death in an interview triggered the Baton Rouge rapper to respond, which in turn earned a response from the New York rapper.
In a new interview on the My Expert Opinion podcast, Bobby Shmurda elaborates more on what Rowdy Rebel said, saying he thought Rebel was in the wrong for even speaking on the situation. On the same podcast, Rebel says he believed that King Von’s alleged killer, Lul Tim, went too far in what appeared to be a fistfight.
“He meant it in a good way, like, he wished that none of that sh*t would have ever happened because he a fan of [King Von and Quando Rondo],” Shmurda said. “But sometimes, we can’t talk on other people sh*t. So, Rowdy know he was in the wrong for that. But he didn’t mean it in a wrong way. It came from…an older Black guy liking a younger Black guy and liking both of their music. But that’s gon’ happen all the time. It happened to 2Pac and Biggie.”
Bobby Shmurda added that when emotions are running high, sometimes it’s better not to speak on the situation. Still, Rowdy Rebel doubles down on what he said.
“I said what I said,” the rapper shared on Instagram while making it clear that he would never beef with his comrade. “I cud never beef with my brother Bobby he freed me from a whole bid. But yu other niggas hurd what I said.”

Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel both did prison stints after taking plea deals in a Rico case in New York. The “Hot Ni**a” rapper tried to get out of the deal, but the judge denied the request and thus sentenced him to 7 years in prison. Since his release from prison in February last year, the rapper has been focused on having fun and living his best life. This is perhaps the first time he was engaged in a beef with another rapper since leaving prison.
NBA YoungBoy has not responded to the new statement by Rebel.
