Walker, who’s brought layered ambition and allure to perennial plotter Shanti “Showstopper” Page, told BOSSIP that season 3 feels like a homecoming.

“I feel like Shanti is really coming into her own. She and Jenard are finally making strides; it’s exactly what we needed for this final season.”


Lofton echoed that sentiment while injecting some of his trademark humor about Jenard Sampson, the street-savvy Southside hustler who’s almost lost it all, on more than one occasion.

“Coming into season three, I’m just appreciative of the journey Jenard has taken,” he said. “I’m impressed he lasted this long. I’m just happy to be here because honestly, he deserved to be gone a long time ago, thanks to Tommy. I’m just happy to still be standing.”

Few rivalries in the Power universe have burned hotter than Jenard’s hatred for “the white devil” Tommy Egan, and according to Lofton, that animosity isn’t just for show.


“I think Jenard always makes mistakes,” he admitted. “But that hate is going to stay. It’s stemming from the right place. I think people look at it wrong; Janard is supposed to hate Tommy.”
