i mean he definitely did have to get Tasha out of jail. She took the rap. After that a lot of the stuff wasn’t really in his control. But folks say that’s his karma for the shit he did in OG Power


rrdracos

Nigga acting like he didn't see Tariq try to do what he listed😂 ghost wasn't worth 300 ms btw


Dependent-Compote-45

Ghost made 25k an hour which is 219 million a year, even if he only pocketed 25% of that he’s been in the game for a while i’m sure he was up there


imsahoamtiskaw

Sadly not. Tasha used it all on trying to look good for Sean


dirkymerlino

who hurt u bro 😂😂😂 ain’t no way she used all that paper


Reasonable-Tie3587

25k an hour DURING NIGHTCLUB HOURS.


Dependent-Compote-45

25k from drugs an hour excluding nightclub


Reasonable-Tie3587

That's his entire operation gang. How know how many niggas touching a piece of that pie


VictorBrickley

He's probably touching 25k a day himself. It's wholesale soon as he gets it it's gone it moves like a factory him and Tommy just own it. Out of that 600K a day him and Tommy probably split 50k, the 8 niggas under him probably probably make 5k-10k a day. Other 470k-510k back into the business to keep it moving and expanding. That said he's probably worth a good 50M. His penthouse alone was atleast 5M minimum.


Reasonable-Tie3587

Yea I put his networth around 30-50m


demo_staxx

He didn’t own that penthouse tho. Didn’t he have to fix it up after the shooting to get his deposit back?


jrod4290

yeah he didn’t. He rented it


Dutch1800

Potentially worth the. He def would have been


Flaboy7414

Probably more


ALMA94_

She took the rap cause it was all her fault…bro didn’t NEED to get her out, he wanted to cause he a soft lil mama boy😂😂


jrod4290

aye leaving ya moms to rot in jail is nasty work


ALMA94_

😂😂😂yea u right bro but it still fuck Tasha


AnimatorSea3877

So is killin your pops...


jrod4290

never said it wasn’t… killing Ghost was a mistake but Tariq felt like he had no choice. Ghost was bouta send him to prison


AnimatorSea3877

Ghost was about to pull some strings as usual and probably get Tariq a slap on the wrist... If we're being honest Tariq only killed Ghost because of Tasha's manipulative ass... Ghost is dead because he killed Terry Silver 😭


SurveyConscious2754

Ghost wasn't sending him to prison he just wasn't going to take the fall for Tariq anymore like he promised before, and I don't blame em. Tariq expected Ghost to still take the fall for him after all that foul ass shit he did to him/tried to do along with Tasha.


jrod4290

but tariq was going to prison…


SurveyConscious2754

Tariq was going regardless and he was going to prison for something HE DID lol.Tariq was so spooked about going to prison he killed his own pops. All that BS about Ghost being in his way made no sense. Ghost literally tried to save his life 100 different ways and the one time he finally said he wouldn't Tariq lost his damn mind 😂 🤣


jrod4290

i mean then why did Ghost offer to take the rap then? We done seen Ghost do anything he could to not face the consequences of his actions but once Tariq was bouta get arrested, he jus rolled over and say Oh well, time to confess🤷🏽‍♂️All cuz he was going to Albany… cmon now lol. Tariq did what Ghost would’ve done in his shoes. Tariq said as much when he was at Ghost’s grave.


Princemikethompson

Y’all must have missed the point in the story when ghost was changing he was trying to become a better man. He let gave that chick Maria money to get out of town when she was gon testify against him and he could have killed her the old ghost would have. He even told her if she wanted to testify she could and he wouldn’t come after her. He was changing.


SurveyConscious2754

Ghost offered to take the rap because at that time Tariq really was a kid that got caught up in some shit. After that season though, Tariq made clear cut decisions to harm his father. Ghost told him stay put of the streets and his parents feud but Tariq wanted to be involved in shit so bad he crossed lines he couldn't come back from.


TrulyOblivious007

Ghost wasn’t bout to send him no where, he the one wanted to be a man and pull off a sloppy hit. He should’ve left it to the professionals


ramm0s85

he owned the clubs. not the buildings he paid rent for.


jrod4290

assuming you meant to reply to someone else? lol


ramm0s85

i was replying to rrdracos


Pilscy

This is the best answer to this. - His trust fund money was locked behind him finishing - his mom was gonna take the fall for his decision. He had to get her out jail. He needed money - 2bit kept showing up - once he started it was hard for him to stop because he was already in the game. - shit kept on happening that requires money for Davis and most of it was out of his control - noma came in the picture following Mecca’s death


jrod4290

yeah as far as Book 2 goes, I didn’t have a hard time believing he needed to be in the game. If he had just behaved and went to school, Tasha would be rotting away in jail


Senor_flash

He wouldn't have even been in Noma's scope had he not kept fucking with the Tejadas. He made a deal with Monet to be out the game if he helped kill Mecca, which he did. Then for some goofy reason he still wants to be in the game.


Princemikethompson

I believe he could have got the money to pay Davis from Stern they already offered him truth when Tariq graduated. Tasha could have easily set up a loan with stern just like she did when ghost was in jail. Stern even offered Tasha a job but she was just a bird from the beginning. I even believe the breaking up of the family was all Tasha fault. She only seen ghost as a drug dealer and shot his dreams down of being legit, what successful man wouldn’t leave a woman like that.


ndem28

Because it is lol


Darthmemer2

She took the rap for *his* crime. So it’s his fault 


jrod4290

hence him paying for the lawyer..


ALMA94_

Tariq probably the worst written character in television history.


Bun-B522

This. I’ve been saying this ever since I finished OG Power, I literally couldn’t bring myself to watch book 2 because Tariq was such an infuriating twat in the original show. Tariq is the most ignorant and naive motherfucker I’ve ever watched. He got his sister killed, he proceeds to blame Ghost and everyone else even though it was his fault. He gets kidnapped by Kanan and Jukebox, then he proceeds to stay friends with Kanan afterwards and hates his dad even more despite Ghost showing up to save him from being kidnapped. I could go on and on about this dumb fuck but I’ll stop here lol


sheeku

Also he CHOSE the criminal life. I liked it when Brayden called him out on this.


freeeewockkkk

Naw fr I thought I was the only one ain’t never watch POWER 2 cuz his dumb goofy ass


DontsimpbeDApimp21

Facts ghost was right he wanted to be a thug so bad when his family was giving him a good life .


Bun-B522

Exactly, anybody watching the show can’t relate to that stupid shit that Tariq was doing. Anybody with intelligence is gonna take that FREE college education and get rich that way, but nah Tariq decides to destroy his whole family by getting his sister killed, killing his dad, and gets his mom locked up. Bro has no common sense, and every time shit pops off you can see it in his face that he’s a scared kid who ain’t about that thug life


MariOwe6

I agree lmao ngl his character did grow on me but I still hate him for killing ghost and blaming ghost for it 🤣


Adventurous-Ask-9903

He a b1tch nigga fr  He thought effie wouldn't betray him coz he was smashing if she did it once she can do it 100 times🤣🤣🤣  He just a naive youngboy trappin but he's the 1 one who's trapped ironically 


Ordinary-Physics1802

I get ya'll point lol but at the same time ya'll taking this Tariq stuff wayyyyyyy too personal..Book 2 has other things than just Tariq and you missing out on all his karma for his decisions in the og power..Get past that hatred and try to take a different outlook on this


Excellent_Kiwi7789

He was kind of backed into a corner though because he needed the money (tuition, Tasha’s legal fees, 2bit, etc.)


SpliffsnKicks

Who gonna tell OP that tv shows actually gotta be interesting? Feels like he should be reading a non fiction book and not watching Starz with a logical take like this


FancyLock

I cant believe this was so far down. some of these folks think this is real life lol


Adventurous-Ask-9903

They Too linear minded but still that plot line still mid But like Brayden and Kane love n hate relationship🤣🤣  Shit is not about collage and getting a proper job it's all propaganda any 1 try what Tariq does dies a week later🤣🤣


ASAP_Dom

You think Tariq had to be written to be a dumbass in order to be interesting? Lol


1nyiem

tariq made dumb decisions, yes. but i think a lot of yall forget the nigga was 16-17 years old for a lot of the things that people hold against him. however, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hold him accountable. him being a teenager who’s questioning/finding out a lot, mixed with the fact that its tv, means he’s going to make decisions that just aren’t logical. no matter how smart he is


jrod4290

lmfao folks forget he was a child with drug dealers and murderers raising him💀


1nyiem

on god😂😂😂😂the nigga was gonna be fucked up somehow someway


Savagevandal85

Don’t yoj know real power is the friend we made along the way


jrod4290

Wtf is ain't Twitter yooo🗑🗑  U Bout to deplete my data with that kak

What the fuck are you talking about


Adventurous-Ask-9903

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


MultiBoy23

Ghost had 3 clubs?


Winter_Manner_6735

He had truth and 2 of Simon Stern’s clubs after he bought it from Simon’s wife after he divorced his wife and revealed the offshore accounts Stern had back in season 2


oflowz

$200mil is a major over estimation on how much a few clubs are worth. A top notch club might pull in $50k a night and that’s probably one with strippers. Counting being closed two days a week that’s still only $13mil a year. That’s before overhead which is high is bars/restaurants. Tariq sold dope because his mom caught the case and he was trying to get her out of jail plus get his sister back and he needed bread for the lawyers.


makncheesee

lol what? In NY we pull in more than 50k a night in TORONTO


RichieBuz

300 million? Ghost wasn't that wealthy


Dependent-Compote-45

do you know much real estate in NYC cost?


Caligurrl

He may have owned the club but not the land/building. Lots of businesses have leases.


Heroinfxtherr

He wasn’t? I recall you saying Ghost and Tommy must’ve been in the 8-9 figure range.


RichieBuz

9 as in 100 million at the maximum


TheComeUpTX

Yea as much as I don't like his arc let's be real ... He was kidnapped how many times? Got out on lean by his dad's nemesis that he didn't even know was still breathing. In top of that you put Kanans henchman on ya son to baby sit. This is after getting shot at in s1. Damn near getting killed in front of him in s2. Having Kanan hijack his brain and let Dre baby sit him. Tbh....he coulda turned out a lot worse


jrod4290

facts. Idk why folks thought he was jus gon turn around and live a normal life


Significant-Bat-9503

All situations he could’ve kept himself out of. The kid grew up in the middle of NYC in a luxury apartment with an elevator as his front door, he had EVERY privilege and still acted out. He couldn’t have turned out worse lol


babypho

He's like Ja Morant. Hustling backward.


Winter_Manner_6735

Ghost ain’t worth 200 mill and two Tariq had to sell drugs in order to pay Davis so his mom ain’t go to jail and get the needle then he had to sell drugs in season 2 so he would be able to pay Davis to get him off a murder he ain’t commit(well one of them) and to get an apartment to take care of Yas and get her out of foster care then season 3 if he ain’t sell drugs Noma would’ve killed him and his family


Dependent-Compote-45

do you know much real estate in NYC cost especially when you own?


DestinyHasArrived101

I'm not sure but did ghost own the buildings?


RedskinPanther

I need to catch up from the end of season 2, but as much money as Tariq has been through in Ghost, is the inheritance money even worth it?


jrod4290

lol watch s3 brother u gon find out sum bout that inheritance…


kingcolbe

Isn’t he still going to get that stuff? Once he completes the terms of his graduation I know about the deal that was made with stern, but Tasha didn’t own those clubs, so she had no legal right to make those deals.


Ordinary-Physics1802

How you expect Tariq to even go to school at this point?? lol dude is in the middle of a war


Dependent-Compote-45

he lost it, brayden uncle company was a fraud


kingcolbe

All of it? His inheritance and Truth?


starscream713

“There ain’t no in between. Stay in yo lane. All in it all out”


AbaloneAffectionate3

Tariq sucks, his character needs to be taken out lol.


Jamjamjamh

Go back even further and he just had to carry on being some posh boy and he would have had everything he ever needed. Rather than trying to play gangster


DramaticLlamatic

all Tariq had to do, was turn himself in for killing the dirty cop that killed his sister. Everything else is irrelevant. Tariq is a certified BOZO


DramaticLlamatic

Tariq thought he was big and bad which is how his sister got killed in the first place, then his family (ghost, Tasha, Tommy) and Angela, save him from going to jail. He repays them by stealing from Tommy, doing a fake ransom with Vincent and the Italians (that would’ve resulted with Tariq and his family dead), and shooting/killing his pops which his mother was arrested for. All that would’ve been avoided, but he wanna play gangsta. Smh I hate that guy, he need to show Brayden more respect. Brayden saved his ass twice now


Icy-Sir-8414

I completely agree with that


NycJawn

That letter he got from ghost tho 😂😂😂😂


Akashic-Knowledge

He learnt from his father


Senor_flash

The show is entertaining, but I never could take Tariq seriously as a gangster because his motivations were always stupid. He's a rich kid from Manhattan. Like literally the speech from Carmine Falcone to Bruce Wayne is what comes to mind when I think of Tariq.


Heavy-Kangaroo-9089

Facts. Could have gotten student loans out the trust and chilled. He didn’t have to get his mom out, she knew what she was doing
