In last night’s episode of Fox TV’s Empire, Hakeem Lyon makes a fool out of himself (again) at a tacky press conference where he unveils the new Empire logo with his face replacing his father’s.
It turns out he was stringing Camilla along to get her and her “wife” Mimi to hand over control of Empire to him.
With the blessing of Cookie and Lucious, Hakeem mails Mimi a sex tape of himself and Camilla. Mimi flies into a rage and Camilla kills her and tries to make it look like a suicide.
Lucious Lyon catches Camilla in the act and hands her a gun, telling her to kill herself like a true G.
But Camilla decides to take herself out on her own terms — by swallowing a handful of pills.
Jamal Lyon is accused of “flip flopping” by a group of gay militants who dance around him while singing a parody of his brother’s drab rap song “Drip Drop”.
“That’s not even his song, stupid!” shouts Becky in Jamal’s defense.
Andre Lyon, who is still grieving the loss of his unborn son, has a vision of himself pushing his wife Rhonda down a flight of stairs. Meanwhile, her memory of the incident is beginning to return.

I find myself fast forwarding thru all the singing. After watching that slave show on WGN and OJ on FX, I find empire to be quite lacking these days. It’s not even worth trying to watch live anymore, I prefer to be able to ff thru most of the bs
I was shocked Hakeem was smart enough to play Camilla like that. I agree with Jamal, watching him run Empire, he really is very much like ihs dad. I was confused by that last scene. Did Lucious go to try and kill Camilla and happen to walk in on her crime? How did he get in the apartment? I can’t believe they ended that storyline like that. I just knew they would drag it out longer. Naomi did a great job acting. I enjoyed her.
I have so many questions on that my last scene.
Is she really even dead?
Empire is jumping the shark.
Who knows??? Maybe not. I kinda hope not. I really enjoyed Naomi.
Jamal having sex with a woman was that point for me.
Lee gives Jamal wayyy too many solos!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too many!
good question
The only reason I did not mind that is because I know some gay men still sleep with women sometimes and it would not of been the first time he slept with a woman. So….no biggie for me.
They had to do something to bring Empire back to the original crew and get her out the way. If she is really dead.
And we know whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I had it on last night………as background noise. They were recapping it this morning on the radio. I was like
I didn’t see/hear alladat. WTF was EYE doing? I would glance up occasionally and see bits and pieces. But if you asked me anything about what went on, I couldn’t tell you.
& a Pepsi commercial EVERY commercial? cmon Lee
I’m just waiting for them to find out that Boo boo crazy kitty is pregnant and tried to kill Andre’s wife. I’m over her crazy ass. And she is really losing it if she thinks they gonna be overly excited to know she is having a baby. She think Lucious is gonna do her like he was doing for Andre and the wife and it’s not gonna happen.
yea i seenT the pix?
Okay. How is Lyons record company a serious record label? They done had 3 CEOs in less than a year.
Lee Daniels is using his hurt as a gay man to shade the Christian community. Two weeks in a row. No pastor would do that type of counseling. Using the storyline about blacks not getting mental help.
That whole scene at the end. How she didn’t hear him? How long was he there?
Jamal is such a punk. Emotional with stuff. Why call Luscious out. You DID get some girl pie. Why you mad.
I’m sorry I just cannot with this show. They have veered so far off the course it feels like it a totally different show compared to the first season.
Next week they show a memorial service so…. Who knows
You said Jamal need the Harris Handbook? #TipLogic
I agree. I wasn’t interested until my sister forced me to watch it then I got a little hooked. But it’s too much now the story seems all over the place.
I don’t think it was her.
No? But if not her then who? And she is losing her mind over the fact that Hakeem don’t want her. He must have that hammer.
Had to be her. No one else would have had a motive
Them gays were mad on TvLine they killed two gay women off. Talking about its been 7 on all shows since January. Bye Whig.
I read an article and she was like it’s going to shock everyone. Hold on…
Glad no more celebrity guest stars….
http://tvline.com/2016/03/15/empire-spoilers-season-2-finale-rhonda/
I’m lost too…?
Exactly. We know TV shows tend to change through the years but to make drastic changes in two seasons is crazy.
That whole flip flop scene with the actual FLIP FLOPS!!! LMAOOOO
I 2nd that ?
https://www.google.com/amp/www.ibtimes.com/empire-season-2-spoilers-did-anika-push-rhonda-grace-gealey-teases-surprise-reveal-2349232%3famp=1?client=safari#
I like the song they made for Andre goat vocals and all.
Andre sang?????
And Luscious flipped it like a”G” LOL
Right. Unless we speaking too soon
I came out the bathroom to Luscious with his gun raised…. Again ???…. Like this fool need to listen to Bombs Over Baghdad one time
At first I thought they had those nail salon flip flops.
No they wrote a song the two brothers and sang it to him.
Right!!! Tripped me out. Them queens was mad as hell
Keyaaaaa! How is life?
Morning!
I haven’t seen 1 episode of the 2nd season. They’re all recorded though. I’m sure Hakeem still rap, Jamal still gay and Andre still got that tick so… I need the complete storyline at once. Plus I have to fast forward once Terrence raps or it turns into the Jamal show or Andre and his wife start complaining or Hakeem starts his wining. Maybe I need to rethink my stance on the show ??
I’m sick of Andre wife she keep goin with the crazy shiiit, and he clearly is doin betta… The music was ok but it’s starting to become mediocre…Luscious was on some mother love and friends type stuff how he know tho ?
These are suppose to be the biggest musical acts , according to the show, however they play the same tired club, Hakeem had on Kanye’s hideous fashions for his tired performance. The one chick with that wack song” You like my body” recycled all of Beyoncé’s recycled dance moves. This show would be better off if the showed at the most 3 performances in a month. I just can’t take the sub par talent. And they’re back moving to fast , the company was taken two episodes ago, and already they have it back , and the two lesbians are dead. Stop it Lee Daniels, the finale showed promise , and the first episode since returning was pretty good, you are quickly doing what was done to the first half of the second season, which would be losing your viewers by insulting their intelligence.
Heyyyyyy!!!! Life is good!! How are you?
I tried. Can’t do that goat.
You NOT a loyal fan ? wait…fan…you.are.not ?
I’m doing well! Busy tis all. *hug*
You would be correct in your assessment.
Surprisingly, I did too!
Oh. You can tell I ain’t watch lol.
Now that Naomi Campbell is out the picture, Hakeem can live happily ever after with his virgin girlfriend.
At least you helped the ratings.
She ain’t a virgin no more.
Nicki was over there on Ellen not claiming Meek, but kinda claiming Meek but said she single … She got to comfortable and forgot the script!!
I do what I can.
Jamal has the best songs!
Maybe he’s still laying pipe whilst they’re on break….you know how it goes
I lost interest in this show.
Jamal Lyon is accused of “flip flopping” by a group of gay militants who dance around him while singing a parody of his brother’s drab rap song “Drip Drop”.
“That’s not even his song, stupid!” shouts Becky in Jamal’s defense………..that scene had me like…………flip-flop….flippity-flop……..
I bet the pill bottle was empty and Camilla is still alive…I do wonder if Lucious carries shoe covers in his glove box lol
True but Ellen’s face was truly confused …lol
Being that they killed off Naomi, I won’t be watching no more. Empire is tooo damn color stuck.
Probably for MiMi…I really think Camilla played Lucious making him think he won…SUCKA
How?
If she come back again I’m through.
He’s the best vocalist…why not
That’s Pepsi’s doing…marketing. Bravo for Jussie for landing the promo
I said Nicki got moves to make and can’t sit on the couch all day because he can’t make 1! Nicki petty. She probably go on drives around the block while he looks out the window stuck ?
Maybe she hired someone to do the dirty work…some people speculate that is was the little rapper girl who’s daddy LuLu killed
I think its gonna be something random like Tiana did it.
Huh?
Nah I wished, I had missed like George missed shoe below.
Flip Flop
Lol..she’ll be back with a vengeance…She’s going to go after Hakeem and LuLu
Just now getting here. Watched Empire, the rest of it this morning.
Tiana. I LIKE her. More of her.
Cookie calling Andre a crazy ass was sad.
Lucious got mad problems now folks know that aint his name. All kinds of old mess about to be dragged up.
I HATE Naomi Campbell on there. I hope her ass is deadt.
Mini Dej-Loaf?
No. That bottle was probably empty, or damn near empty.
I HOLLERED! It was hilarious
She’s the type of broad to miraculously return from the dead.
Them sissies with them flip flops.
They was like a drill team. “TEAM Ready…OKAY. ”
*starts dancing and singing*
Hot tears
Was just wondering where you were…
I hate Naomi’s character, but she’s done a good job with her. Better than I expected.
It was Andre or Lucious.
A REALLY good job. She made Camilla a villan
She was so trife for that. I hate Naynay up there too.
I agree. Left field that makes no sense.
I said are they the Prancing Elite boys?
Until last night I had not watched since season 1. Only watched last night because I didn’t have the strength to fight the 2 ppl I worked with…they are Empire junkies.
Empire and Power are NOTHING alike. 2 Quarters was mad for nothing.
I was WEAK.
Something is off about Andre’s pastor. I wouldn’t be surprised if HE was the one pushed the wife down the stairs.
I’m not even caught up on Power and O agree.
YOU KNOW WHAT!! You may have something there.
Or JHud.
Wearing red bottoms?
*weeps silently*
Flip Flop…FlipFlippity Flop!!
what made Andre suspect SOMEBODY pushed his wife down the stairs all of a sudden?
SUSPECK
Tiana was like you are not finna toss me to the side. Again.
They were red bottom flats. Men wear them.
Gabby was like That’s not jus song!! ?
Now THAT would be cool. Nice plot twist.
This is true. The pastah snazzy huh?
Jesus. He said he had a vision. Wouldn’t it be crazy if he did it?
He been cashing Andre’s tithe checks. He ain’t broke.
The 15 voices in his head that started talking again now that his meds stopped working.
…when he won the rap battle by singing.
I couldn’t get past her Bey-inspired glitter onesie.
I SAID THIS TOO. It might be HIM. He could have Sybil disorder. D.I.D what its called I think
Maaaaaannnn!! I was stuck on that and the lack of body parts that were supposed to fill them out.
What happened to Freda Gatz and Gutter Records though???
Boo boo kitty did it
Mini Dej was up there last night. For 2 minutes
Don’t you talk about Otis from the Temptations like that ??
Too easy..
Lmao. O.
MAD AS A MF
She was there last night. They even discussed Gutter Recirds.
You said “that slave show”??????you should pitch that to fox. I think its called underground right?
Are they never gonna wrap up the storyline of the goons who took Hakeem and poked him the ass…I mean beat him up? On the DAY he got Boo Boo knocked? I mean they just get handled and never get heard from again?
Okay.
I think a man pushed her, and I don’t even watch, so a gif of the shoes walking away and the men LB have red bottoms too
They found out ole boy was up to it, so I presume since he dead the crew is too. I hate when shows forget storylines buy the viewers don’t.
And that’s exactly who I think of EVERY TIME I see him. LOL! VH1 shows that movie once a quarter.
THE FOLKS WHO DIDN’T HAVE STARZ AND HAD NEVER EVEN SEEN AN EPISODE OF POWER CAME OUT THE GATE CLAIMING EMPIRE WAS A BETTER SHOW THAN POWER…THAT IS WHERE THE RIVALRY STARTED IMO.
THEN YOU HAD PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T CARE FOR THE GRITTINESS OF POWER JUMP ON BOARD THE EMPIRE TRAIN…EVEN THE SNIPPETS I SAW LAST NIGHT WERE MEH.
When it first happened and Rhonda looked up and saw the red bottom flats I knew it would be an important clue.
They USED to show that ish ONCE A MONTH
+1
I liked her. She bodied Hakeem.
I see Leon now and only see David Ruffin and sometimes Little Richard.
I want to know what happened to the Jesse L. Martin Marvin Gaye biopic. It is just collecting dust on the shelf I guess.
What about Vernon? Where HE at? Did they kill him? I truly dont recall.
Yup. Shows always drop clues.
Didn’t they! That and The Jackson 5.
AINT NOBODY COME TO SEE YOU OTIS!
And Selena. GIRL.
By accident. Him and Andre were fighting and Rhonda hit him on the head.
Oh snap thats right.
And when showing the pastor in this episode, they made sure to not show his shoes at all!!
Also, judging by the preview I see Cookie and Luscious trying to be Whitley and Dwayne 2.0: hating, flirting, get together, break-up, repeat. It’s always better to me when the mains are apart and just have the tension. Too many shows, the mains get together and the show goes down.
Hmmmm…I didn’t notice that. But by the season finale they probably will.
I agree. It’s better when they cool but hate each other at the same time
+1. Happened on A LOT of shows.
I’m tired Joe, I don’t wantcha, I don’t wantcha…bwahahahahahaaha!!!! That show is full of cornball delight!
Otis is on If Loving You Is Wrong Too. Go ‘head Otis??
Shole is. That’s an awful show lol
Maybe Vernon is not really dead and he pushed Rhonda down the stairs
Oh he dead. They put his body in the DA car.
He really is. They had his body in the car I think I recall? The show is all over the place. I cant even recall what happened in the other season. Bish be LOST.
Can I say that I think that reporter is up to something. Something more than being the next big thing.
I get lost week to week.
Ain’t it awful
He making that $$
Get y’all some
I think Andre pushed Rhonda
I think so too.
That’s we are all starting to think.
Boo boo kitty pushed her. They showed it. She wanted to have the only grandchild.
I like Power because it’s realistic. Empire be TRYING IT! Characters are believable. Could also be the baby hood in me?
Wasn’t it a “rumor” that Andre wanted off?
Also…what about Hakeem replacing his daddy face in the logo AND THEN…I hollered when it went to first commercial break and his face was in it at the break too.
I can not keep up with this mess of a show
When? I be missing so much.
They showed red bottom flats walking out the door as the white chick lay on the floor.
Dub20 and Library man looked it up last night. They done pushed Power back YET ANOTHER month. NOW they saying July vs June. Last year it was “Coming in January 2015” and it didnt show up til June. Im bout to be over them too.
Me too! Hakeem so messy.
Season finale. She broke in house. When she went to visit Rhonda, rhonda was rambling about alarm always getting set off. Rhonda got up to check alarm. She pushed her ass.
But the way they air the Temptations movie, those residual checks must have held him down until now.
They didn’t.
Right but folks are saying men wear red bottom shoes too.
lmaooooo
???? JULY AIN’T COMING FAST ENOUGH AND THAT FIRST EPISODE AIN’T GONNA DO A THING BUT MAKE ME MAD!
These were loafers.
Exactly what is hold up?? Are they still filming?? Or did Starz not find a slot in their lineup until then?
?? hold up. I love that show and the non acting.
Exactly! That tension adds to the dynamic.
???
I forget it come on then watch all at once
Girl that show kills me but every damn Tuesday I’m on it.
Right. But they didnt show a face is what folks are saying? IDK. I am lost in the sauce cause God KNOWS I am lost.
Up there looking like the TCB Afro Sheen logo. Boy bye.
????????
Well I guess I had too much wine cause I swear they showed the heifa in all black. Hell they had to tell Andre what happened. He wasn’t even at the house.
I think that’s a plot twist. The red bottoms was flat. I personally think it’s the shady pastor. Or the lawyer. Or nutty azz Lucious for that matter.
The lawyer I can see. I hope it was not Otis.
I love when Lucious is a bad ass.. they have to cut down on the Glee type singing because I glaze over.. The whole Flip Flop montage was ridiculous.. It gets good when it’s just acting.. Jamal singing every now and then isn’t bad.. I liked the song to Andre..
Let me tell you Bubbles gives me LIFE when he is on screen. He tickles me.
He gives us basically a concert every week.. It’s like really???
The lawyer be having me WEAK
Yes!! Bubbles will always be Bubbles to me.
they have to cut down on the Glee type singing because I glaze over.. The whole Flip Flop montage was ridiculous.
__________________
THIS!!!!! Turns it into a different show when they break out in song n’shit.
The song to Andre was nice. Very touching. Bad azz Lucious is the best Lucious.
I say the lawyer or Andre himself. But Luscious wanted the baby so why would the lawyer do it
Still call him Bubbles. He brings so much to the screen
Yes.. It moved me.. It really was nice
The lawyer is shady. He will do whatever for whoever for the right price. Boo Boo Kitty could have gotten him to do it for her.
On a ‘let yo soul glow’ can. LMAO *sniggles in hand*
Um. No.
Boo boo Crazy too worried about that pipe Hakeem is not trying to give her. She thinking that baby is her meal ticket and she about to be sadly mistaken.
I don’t think he would betray Luscious. He knows the consequences.
O’an since we’re on the subject of singing and all………
#TEAM LA’PORSHA RENAE
What’s Ol girls name in the Dangelo video? The pregnant one??
Why???!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!! I can’t with y’all…lol
Right. But what is being said is maybe he had a psych break and dont recall doing it. Maybe he hired someone to do it. Men wear red bottom loafers too. An interview with Grace Gealy said that its not Boo Boo Kitty and folks are going to be surprised as to who it is. @Zoe posted a link below I think to the interview. Too much. I got overload lol.
#FAMU_RYS16
Who? I can tell they’re look at us??????
Ohhh, my sight isn’t much better than poor Rhonda’s as she lay on the floor. I only saw red with no heel. Thanks for the info.
Bwahahahahahahaha!!!! Zoe you are funny!
So EYE would know! LOL!!!!!
And the song Jamaal did, I just didn’t get it
Last season of Amurrikkklan Idull. Black chick. Big DUMB BEAUTIFUL afro. Sangs her face OWF! Check her out. KILLIN’ IT!
What is this hashtag? My sis went to Fam. Go Rattlers!
I missed that part……somehow.
Ohhhhhh, gotcha?? what’s homegirls name…The pregnant chick in D’angelos’ video…Sheer dress? This is killin me??
Consider yourself lucky.
This is Locs weave??? For men??? Um, no. I pass.
I understood it. It was still stupid. Emotional azz!
Them folks were slow clapping when Jamal did that gangsta song last night. They were more interested in Dwight Walker.
Fuuuuuudge. I can remember her but not remember her?
I hate when that happens. #brainfart
They couldn’t figure out what the hell he was talking about. They should have booed him.
That’s exactly what I said he emotional. Luscious strategic.
Right off the stage.
Did y’all see Bussie on Underground. Man he can’t act.
Men don’t get emotional. Not even the fictional characters. #TipLogic #HarrisHandbookChapter1
And that is what makes Lucious brilliant and scary at the same time. He has his emotional moments, but most of the time he uses #TipLogic and operates very strategically. Everything has a purpose for him.
LOL! Just said that about Lucious below.
I didn’t like Cookie calling him crazy at all, so inappropriate
Snickers at #Tiplogic
Joi?
New post – man threatens cop…….lives
Can I say you ALWAYS know. Thank God for you.
Bussie?
It overloads my brain sometime.
Joi?
Yeah his name is ‘Thirsty’
Your ass started #TipLogic
If I go on a game show I am totally using her as my lifeline. Hell, if it’s a family show, she will be my adopted sister for the day!
That is disgusting, as in a shameful type of disgusting… Like who thought of the marketing campaign for this product?
I agree that Empire is inconsistent and the writing is just lame. I turned it off after the brothers were in the studio singing to Dre. That was ridiculous. Mem to Lee and Danny: get some fvcking writers who know how to write soap opera and drama.
You actually take this show serious? Seriously?
Yes!!!
Retool your school campaign! Vote through 4/24.
It’s true though!!
^^ THIS!
Oh, yeah, he is going to hurt her feelings bad over that. I think he really loves the singer girl.
I always say if I go on, my daddy is my lifeline. If yall think I am fulla useless facts, Daddy Dub even as a drunk is still mentally sharp out in these streets at 69.
Me too. But he not ready.
Geez can’t you just be happy watching both shows? Yall expect to get your entire life with this show? Give it a chance!
I love the oj series
Yup. She really believes that she will be taken back in by them because of this baby. And little does she know, Lucious was hype about the baby because of the condition both him and Andre share and wanted for this baby not to have it. That’s why he was all hype. Because Lucious don’t really like the Sprite wife like that anyway. Boo boo is playing herself big time.
When I peeped the discovery ID slippers he had over his shoes, I was like oh boy!
Yea like why the fuccck you keep singing to a semi full room
Chile I wanna see how this gonna play out..Andre crazy azz is gonna kill boo boo kitty
Speaking of, Tiny posted a video on her IG of the baby’s 3 strollers, you can hear TI in the background saying “what damn baby needs 3 strollers” tiplogic at its best.?
Come on now we know the person that push yt down had on red bottoms. So you telling me that the pastor put on his wife clothes to go break in Andre home an murder his unborn child???
No that want that would be so random
I’m almost positive we haven’t seen the last of her, Lucious didn’t stay to make sure she was dead.
I get an entire 9 lives off that slave show. That’s some good writing. I watch empire, it’s just continuously getting worse and worse. They’re throwing the kitchen sink at us and it’s not entertaining anymore.
Whoever it was had on some red bottoms.
Me too
I just think people expect so much from Empire not realizing it is still a new show. We have to support ALL our shows.
He’s not well, you can tell he’s becoming unglued. Losing his child is taking a toll on his mental.
We not 100% that she’s really dead
Yes
Lol I barely watched but the song caught my ear
I feel you lol can’t see how I ever thought it was anything but goat.
Umm the slave show is in its first season and it’s on damn WGN. No big budget like Empire on FOX. I expect good writing if I’m gonna watch. Luckily I’m still hanging in there but my husband is done with the show.
You rite…. Well up until then… But when he says GOD is helping him, she turns away and dismisses it like GOD don’t exist…
??? lemme go google…
Thanx bro??
She doesn’t believe in God..
Her damn mouf, smh… It did make me giggle though… well more like holler… djm
I think you might be on to something..
Lolololol..I love that movie..
Rolling a blunt when Cookie walked in..
Breaking Bad was excellent at connectinh the dots.. They completed every storyline..
Me too I be like, oh they cool now, lmao…
Cookie said, “… and stop wearing ya grandaddy’s suits!!!” I weeped!!!
i like me some Thirsty!!! Lol he know his shit and he’s bout it, lol
And thats what pissin me off
Right!!! They thought Luscious was gon jump out on them if they clapped, lol
Yup! This is going to tarnish their marriage in the future..
Especially the scenes with the jurors, funny ass hell. ? Cuba is a nut too. The acting seems improvised but hilarious.
?????? for that opportunity w Pepsi. but gotdamn!! they play the commercial excessively.
he sounds like a goat
Yea its crazy to had live through this as a child and relive it now via miniseries the acting is fantastic I wish the whole cast could win a emmy but Marcia, darden, shapiro oj kardashsian ito will have to battle it out
Yea it will be tested for sure…
Really you think so??? I love his voice…good clean music. I think Hakeem and LuLu are whack rappers so out of the 3 he would still get my vote
Somebody has to sponsor the show
she’ll probably be pregnant her and boo boo kitty
As bad as I want Power back, I don’t watch until the day of finale. *whispers* sometimes after that?
As bad as I want Power back, I don’t watch until the day of finale. *whispers* sometimes after that?
The teebee shows smh. That’s why I be watching YT families?? #nopatience
The teebee shows smh. That’s why I be watching YT families?? #nopatience
Oh hell yes i love that show !! It’s very good great acting people need to tune in!!
I missed this and did not feel bad about it. It’s an urban soap opera. I’m not into soap operas. In what world would a 20yo hot head suddenly become CEO of a company? Never. I know, it’s TV, but I can’t get into things that are not realistic.
It’s all about Johnny. Courtney deserves the Emmy hands down!!!!
