In the Empire episode “My Fault Is Past,” with the control of Empire within reach again, the Lyons must pull out all the stops to prove Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Becky’s innocence in the data-mining scandal. Meanwhile, a mystery begins to unravel and a number of familiar faces reappear including Andre’s (Trai Byers) friend Teri (Meta Golding) and Poundcake’s daughter, dancer Maya, who shares the stage with Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray). Poundcake, Cookie’s friend in jail, gave birth to Maya in prison. She was taken from her mother and adopted by a rich family.
Poundcake’s daughter Maya is portrayed by Rhyon Nicole Brown. The 26-year-old L.A. native is known for her roles on the 2016 TV movie Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le (as Michel’le), Eight Crazy Dates (Taylor), For Better or Worse (Pam), Lincoln Heights (Lizzie Sutton), That’s So Raven (Madison), and Judging Amy (Rebecca Van Exel), among others. Brown will appear next on the big screen in the action thriller Killers Anonymous with Oscar winner Gary Oldman and Jessica Alba. Empire airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on FOX, right before Star.
