Power star, Omari Hardwick, is speaking out about something he regrets doing to his former Power co-star, Charlie Murphy, even though his actions were not intentional.

As you all know, when comedian/actor, Charlie Murphy, passed away in April 2017, to the surprise of his fans. Little did we know at that time though, it was also a shock to those who knew him personally as well.

Omari was among that long list of those who were unaware that he had a life threatening illness, during the time he filed his last work, which was on Power. On the hit series, Murphy played a correctional officer who had it out for “Ghost” (Omari Hardwick), during “Ghost’s” prison stint.

In a prior interview on Hot 97, Omari revealed why he now regrets how their scenes played out, now that Charlie has passed away.

What Hardwick Confessed About What He Regrets Doing To Murphy On The “Power” Set

During his Hot 97 interview, Omari recalled the time where he remembers getting more respect as an actor. According to him, that was during season 4 of Power and due to the fact that he was stripped of “Ghost’s” business suits ad clean shaven appearance and ‘spent most of that season in orange jumpsuits. Therefore, says Omari, his acting abilities were not hidden behind the ‘look’ of Ghost, and were instead placed into the forefront of the viewers’ minds.

While discussing season 4, Omari also said he regrets fighting Charlie Murphy back in that scene, because he had no idea the beloved Murphy was in his last days. He admitted that had he been informed of that fact, he would have pulled Courtney Kemp (co-executive producer of Power) to the side and politely declined the fight scene with Charlie.

However, the Power star is also aware that Charlie Murphy kept his illness away from most people who knew him and/or worked with him. So no one, including Power’s execs were probably aware of Charlie’s then dire situation.  Check out what he said about this below:

Hardwick- “In reality it was season 4, where everyone went, ‘Ohhh…he’s an actor!’…because season 4 is when I had on an orange jumpsuit for most of the season. I didn’t have the trickery of the suits. I didn’t have a clean face, it was scruffy…”

I had -rest in peace- very skinny, great comedic timing brother of Eddie Murphy-Charlie Murphy, beatin’ my a$$, who had I known he was dying of cancer, I would’ve looked at Courtney and gone, ‘I can’t do that’…unless you change the storyline. I can’t fight him BACK.”

When Charlie Passed Away, Omari Recalled Getting The News On Set

Omari was on set when he received the text message about Charlie’s passing:

“I got a text from Nile Rogers- who was doing publicity for us back then- and I KNEW it..in my spirit, I knew it. …And when I got the text, I knew that was somebody calling about Charlie.”

He continued:

“I did not know that he had cancer, but I knew that he was sick. By the time we had finished the season, I was like, ‘He’s sick.'”

Fortunately for Omari Hardwick, he doesn’t have to feel guilty about the fight scene with Charlie Murphy. Given Charlie’s strong, fighter spirit up until the end of his life, he probably would not have wanted that Power fight scene to go down any other way.

Charlie Murphy was a prideful man, who never wanted anyone to treat him any differently than the next man. May he continue to rest in power.

In a recent interview with ABC Radio, Hardwick says even with his close relationship to 50, he’s still finds himself a target when the rapper decides to have a little fun on social media. However, when that occurs, Omari says he definitely holds his own.

“If you’re raised like Omari or 50, then you’re going to challenge each other,” Hardwick explains. “Obviously, he challenges people. And as you know, Omari ain’t afraid to go after people on Instagram either. So, sometimes I’ll reach out and I’ll say, ‘Five, why do you do that?’ And he gives me an explanation for why he did that. Which means that he respects me enough to give me an explanation, because he could really ignore. And he doesn’t.”

“You’re going to get a different level of respect for each other when, when each other sort of allows each other to be that thing,” Hardwick explains. “50’s fun man. At the end of the day, he’s a fun, super intelligent cat, who again — and I said — he changed my life.” (Connect FM)

Though I personally get burned out by hearing Beyoncé on the radio constantly, I must give it to her fans- they are some of the most loyal ever. That may have also been what Power star, Omari Hardwick, has now learned the hard way, after what he did to piss them off during the NAACP Awards on Saturday (March 30, 2019).

Simply put, the Beyhive does NOT play when it comes to Beyoncé, nor her union with her hubby, Jay Z. So it was only natural that they call the brotha out on social media after watching him get -what many of them believe to be- just a tad too touchy feely with Bey.’ It all boils down to a kiss Omari planted on Beyoncé in front of her husband and television cameras.

“Power” star, Omari Hardwick, wants y’all to know one thing- don’t come at him with no B.S.. That was the message he recently tried to send loud and clear to a few pissed off fans who blasted him for disrespecting another fan in the street. Their feud spilled over into social media and resulted in Omari damn near writing a pamphlet sized read to said fans.

What Had Happened Was…

The fiasco all started after one of Omari’s fans took to social media to blast him over the way he’d treated a female fan when she asked for a photo with him. Apparently, Omari was out chillin’ with his wife, Jae, and their young daughter at a public place somewhere. A female fan noticed it was “Ghost” from “Power” and she was nearby. Therefore she proceeded to do what any fan would- ask for selfie to relish the moment.

Unfortunately, she apparently got her face cracked (not literally), when Omari reportedly yelled at her and turned her down.

As a result, another fan commented to him on social media:

“Heard you yelled at a girl who asked for a picture because you were with your family..in her defense she didn’t who was [with] you. You actors be acting like your God. Knock it off playboy.”

That struck a nerve with Omari and he then proceeded to deliver a very lengthy clap-back. He started with an explanation from his viewpoint:

“Let me kill yo f*ckery, playboy. She got out of her car to follow me and my family maybe 200 yards…as this older sweet nanny tells us. She gets to me and ask for a pic. I say, as I always do, God bless you, I don’t do [pictures] when I’m with my family. Respectfully. She then responds, ‘So, I can’t get a picture with you?!’ With SHOCK in her face. She never acknowledges my family with a LOOK. I go, ‘Huh? You didn’t hear what I said?’”

But then Omari got a surprise when the actual fan he allegedly yelled at in the street, hopped into his comments to blast him for being a “liar”:

“You’re a liar. I walked off after saying, ‘Ah, really? Okay.’ Walked across the street, you started yelling…Your fans are who made you. A simple, ‘No, I don’t do pics when I’m with my family would have been nice.’ Your attitude is what shocked me, not the fact you wouldn’t take the pic.”

The accuser continued in another comment:

“…I know the truth and so [does] he. I’ve moved on and so has he. My thing is, don’t lie about it. I hate a liar. If you’re not approachable then so be it, I’m not the first he’s done this to, and won’t be the last.”

Omari replied:

“We absolutely know the truth. You are a lost human. God bless your soul.”

At first the feud seemed to be a done dada… but then a third fan supported and blasted Omari at the same time…that’s when all hell broke lose:

“Your true fans understand. That’s why you should ignore this foolery. I hate that celebs primarily respond to negativity instead of their ‘true’ fans positivity, however; I do understand that you’re human and that comes with emotions.”

Omari then went ALL the way off and called the woman involved in the shouting incident a dark, spirited woman. He also checked the other fan who called him out and added a few choice words to get his full point across…

“Please equally acknowledge how much I respond way more to beautiful positive real ones. So this is a misnomer for me as well. This fuck shit needed to be checked and never just for me. But for ALL in my position built like my character as a person or NOT. And for the you’s of the world equally…if your job came with the same mess.

But yea let’s keep it 100…if not 500, i respond to REAL fans way at an 8. I respond to not negativity but rather REAL high level fuck shit & that is still at a 2. From YOU….to everyone who chose to comment in defense & those who liked my comment I ALWAYS acknowledge and thank you as a true fans. Hence me putting quotations around the word as it pertained to that lost dark spirited woman.

I’m a man who will always give back. Even my checking of f*ckery is a carefully chosen ‘give back’ to the winners in life who ain’t got my stage size or heart size. Said it 100x…rather go call it a day and stare at a mountain listening to Donny Hathaway before I lose me.”

This isn’t the first time Omari’s been blasted by his fans…and pretty sure it won’t be the last. Who’s side are y’all on in this case though- Omari’s or the fans?
