The FOX hit show, “Empire“ focuses on Hip-hop artist and CEO of Empire Entertainment, Lucious Lyon. Lucious has always held the helm at Empire Entertainment unchallenged, but a medical diagnosis predicts he will be incapacitated soon. The alarming news prompts others to begin eye balling his throne and Lucious must now name his successor. Lucious must decide which of his three sons will take over. His favorite, Hakeem, is a gifted musician but values fame over hard work. Middle son, Jamal, is talented and gay, which Lucious finds unacceptable as a replacement. His oldest son, Andre, is business-minded but lacks the charm and attitude needed to run the record label. Things are further complicated by the reappearance of Lyon’s ex wife Cookie. Cookie took the fall for Lucious years back, now out of prison, she wants her piece of the pie as well.
