50 Cent is always willing to have a laugh at someone else's expense. This time, he trolled Empire's Taraji P. Henson over the spectacular debut of his new ABC series For Life.

For Life was the top "social series premiere of any primetime entertainment program on broadcast or cable so far this season," according to Nielson Social Content Ratings, according to a text the rapper shared on Instagram. 50 and Taraji P. Henson have been going back and forth a bit over their respective TV series', so of course, he had to get his shot in.

"Alright, alright, alright. see tell Taraji P. Henson I want to work with her LOL," he wrote in the caption.

Henson appeared on T.I.'s Expeditiously podcast back in January to talk about 50's comments on her show.

"Our show has nothing to do with his show, we're talking two different subject matters," the actress said. "Then again 50, do you know what the fuck I had to do to get here? Why tear down another black person? For competition? There are a million other shows you can compete with. And to do that publicaly, it's embarrassing."

When 50 heard about Henson's comments, he issued an apology only he could give.

"This is my sincere apology," he wrote to the actress on Instagram. "I did not mean to hurt your feelings in any way. I love your work and I think you are amazing. I’m sorry no one is watching your show anymore."
