In the Empire episode “Sweet Sorrow,” another health scare shakes up the Lyon family. This time it’s Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) who’s in the hospital. On a lighter note, Becky (Gabourey Sidibe) reveals her big news to J. Poppa (Mo McRae), and Jamal (Jussie Smollett) makes a shocking revelation on live TV with Robin Roberts (guest-starring as herself). Rapper Lupe Fiasco also plays himself on this episode.
Lupe Fiasco (born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco) is known for his debut album Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor which was released in 2006. (It was Jay-Z who helped him sign a record deal with Atlantic Records.) The record received three Grammy nominations, and the same year Lupe Fiasco was named one of GQ’s Men of the Year (Forest Whitaker is on the list too!). The 36-year-old Chicago native released an additional six albums including his most recent Drogas Light in 2017. Empire airs Wednesdays at 8pm on FOX.
