Power Book II has achieved a significant milestone with Episode 9 becoming the most viewed episode of the season so far. This surge in viewership is attributed to the episode’s rich inclusion of Nigerian culture, which has resonated deeply with audiences.
Curtis Jackson, widely known as the hip-hop rapper “50 Cent”, serves as the executive producer of the show. Jackson’s creative vision brought Nigerian culture to the forefront in this episode, particularly during the wedding scene between Noma Asaju and Can Tajada. The scene was adorned with authentic Nigerian costumes, the vibrant sounds of Nigerian pidgin, and music from renowned artists like Flavour, creating an immersive cultural experience.
Although Power Book II: Ghost is an American show, its embrace of Nigerian culture has been met with widespread approval from African viewers. The inclusion of these cultural elements has not only enriched the storyline but also highlighted the importance of cultural representation in mainstream media.
Fans are eagerly anticipating more African cultural elements in American shows, especially those produced by black producers. This episode of Power Book II: Ghost sets a promising precedent for future productions, showcasing the beauty and diversity of African cultures to a global audience.
