The rigidity between Crown Camacho (Quincy) and Lou-Lou (Malcolm Mays) has been brewing for fairly a while now, however issues lastly got here to a head throughout Sunday night time’s explosive episode of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.” In the ultimate moments of episode six, titled “It’s a Business, Man,” Lou-Lou reveals as much as the studio to confront Crown for not solely hooking up together with his girlfriend, Jessica (Natalee Linez), however for secretly working with Raq (Patina Miller) to attempt to push him out of the music enterprise.
“You know, it was one factor after I heard that you just had been smashing Jess behind my again, however I ain’t need to get b*tches get in the way in which of enterprise,” Lou tells Crown, to which he responds: “The f*ck you already know about enterprise, Lou? You in over your head so deep you do not even know which approach is up, n***a. You and I do know you’ll be able to’t do that sh*t — not with out me. Everybody know.” Crown then tells Lou that every one he is ever going to be is “Raq’s child’s brother” — resulting in the episode’s most-shocking second: Lou snaps and kills Crown by strangling him with a wire conveniently mendacity on prime of some studio gear.
“The stunning half about Lou and Crown is that you just actually noticed a stability,” Quincy, 31, tells POPSUGAR. “For folks not even within the music trade, they know this relationship dynamic. They’ve seen it, and I’m certain everyone sort of goes by way of it, the place someone could are available in and provide opinions, and typically you are feeling such as you’re turning into much less of you as a result of there’s so [many] opinions on the opposite aspect [that] you are feeling like you must do one thing to verify your respect continues to be there. And I believe that was the continued story with Crown and Lou-Lou. I pushed the fallacious button, and I understood it.”
When Quincy first joined the Power universe in 2021, he had no concept what was in retailer for his character. In reality, he solely realized of Crown’s destiny at a desk learn for the episode. “[I was] tremendous stunned,” he admits. “You present as much as the desk learn, they ship you a script, they usually let you already know proper there.” As a outcome, Quincy did not have a lot time to arrange for his onscreen demise. He provides, “In life, you do not put together to die, so precisely how that’s, it shocked me, it took a bit of me out . . . I did not wanna exit like that, however I believe it is an actual stunning scene . . . I’m by no means gonna neglect it.”
So is that this the final we have seen of Crown? Not fairly. According to Quincy, we could get extra display screen time for the character in flashback scenes. He reveals, “Crown was such a staple within the happenings of what is going on on, particularly with the music and the streets, and he offered this stability. There are some issues that I’m certain we did not get to see that can make sense later — some flashbacks that can reply some questions in a while. Yeah, I’m placing it on the market: flashbacks.”
Quincy’s introduction to the Power franchise was within the first season of “Raising Kanan,” which takes place within the ’90s in New York City’s South Jamaica, Queens. As a ’90s child himself, attending to work on this present was a nostalgic expertise for him. “It was a real dive into my life in a time the place I used to be a child,” he says. “I acquired to reside as an grownup within the time the place I used to be simply getting into the world. So to really be capable of reside by way of it — rock the garments and to play with the little toys on set which can be all from the ’90s, stuff that I bear in mind — it felt good to insert myself in a time of historical past that was so vital. To be part of the Power universe is a blessing, and like I mentioned, if it ain’t Crown coming again in flashbacks, it’s going to be one thing. The Power universe has undoubtedly received my love over.”
“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” airs Sundays on Starz.
