Producer Courtney Kemp made the fact known that "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" is not the same as the original "Power" series that involved Ghost, his family and his best friend.

Speaking about the character, Kanan to "Deadline," 50 Cent said;

“You’ll see his very first fight, things that eventually turned him into the character that you see in Power.”

Because of this and many other details that pointed at 50 Cents’ upbringing, fans are certain that the Kanan character tells the story of the rapper when he was younger.

50 Cent is an American rapper born on July 6, 1975. Aside from rapping, he is also a producer and actor. He grew up in the city of Queens New York, another similarity with young Kanan from the series.

His birth name is Curtis James Jackson III and apparently, he had a rough childhood, as he started selling drugs at the age of twelve.

Later, he decided to pursue his musical career and in no time became a rap sensation and celebrated artist.
