‘Empire’ star Malik Yoba is mad he was killed off the show and wants to know who wanted him gone from the series.
Days after ‘Empire’ aired their season finale, millions of people are still talking about the hit TV show including, Malik Yoba.
Malik Yoba plays Vernon Turner on the hit TV series and according to reports he is pissed off that the was killed off the show. Malik Yoba revaled in an interview with TMZ how he got the news his character was going to killed off.
Malik came on “TMZ Live” and laid out the painful moment Lee Daniels informed him his services would not be needed for Season 2 — and it’s a real kick in the gut. Let’s just say he was doing charity work AND promoting the very show … that was about to dump him.
Malik adds the decision to kill off someone was the network’s call.
Nowadays, TV shows murder key characters off a TV series on a regular. One of the most popular shows known for doing this is The Walking Dead. However, when a character is going to get killed off producers have a discussion with the character and the cast and crew hold a “last dinner” for the characters. Unfortunately, things are a lot more straightforward to say the least on ‘Empire’.
