Actor and rapper 50 Cent is under fire after posting a video in which he threatened to rear end an Optimum service technician and then announced he was going to 'follow this motherf***er' in his Rolls Royce on Friday morning.

This incident occurred just two weeks after Altice, Optimum's parent company, announced that they would no longer be providing Starz to their subscribers.

That move did not sit well with 50 Cent - real name Curtis James Jackson III - who is both a star and executive producer on the Starz series Power.

Power scored record numbers for Starz throughout its fourth season, with season five set to premiere later this year.

Those numbers were due in large part to heightened tune-in throughout the New York region, where most of Optimum’s 2.38 million subscribers live.

Angry: Look at this b****, he don't even see me following his motherf***ing ass. Optimum motherf***er, f***ing with my series and s***. Power,' says Jackson in the video

Threatening: Jackson's Rolls then lurches forward and comes within inches of the Optimum service van

Look at this b****, he don't even see me following his motherf***ing ass. Optimum motherf***er, f***ing with my series and s***. Power,' says Jackson in the video, which he posted on Instagram.

His Rolls then lurches forward and comes within inches of the Optimum service van.

'They's gonna put my motherf***ing show - I should run right into the back of this motherf***er. I ain't gonna f*** up my car and s***, but I'm gonna follow this motherf***er.'

He then turns the camera on himself and said: 'F*** them ops, all the ops. B**** that child support finished and I been finished with that other.'

Jackson’s social media stunt did not sit well with Altice.

'The safety of our employees and customers is our number one priority and it is outrageous that a commercial dispute has led to the threat of violence against our employees,' Altice said in a statement to DailyMail.com over the weekend.

'This behavior is reprehensible and should not be tolerated, and we will do everything in our power to protect our employees following this public threat of violence.'

Jackson, who has struggled with financial issues in recent years despite his reported $80 million Vitamin Water windfall a little over a decade ago, has voiced his frustration with Altice's decision multiple times on social media overt the past month.

Altice has said that viewers can easily watch Starz programming through the network's standalone app, while Starz CEO Chris Albrech said last week he expected to negotiate a deal between the network and cable service in the coming weeks.
