Quincy Says Crown’s Story on “Raising Kanan” Isn’t Over Yet: “I’m Putting It Out There: Flashbacks”

The stress in between Crown Camacho (Quincy) and Lou-Lou (Malcolm Mays) has actually been brewing for rather a long time now, however things lastly capped throughout Sunday night’s explosive episode of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.” In the last minutes of episode 6, entitled “It’s a Business, Man,” Lou-Lou appears to the studio to face Crown for not just talking to his sweetheart, Jessica (Natalee Linez), however for covertly dealing with Raq (Patina Miller) to attempt to press him out of the music company.

“You know, it was one thing when I heard that you were smashing Jess behind my back, but I ain’t want to get b*tches get in the way of business,” Lou informs Crown, to which he reacts: “The f*ck you know about business, Lou? You in over your head so deep you don’t even know which way is up, n***a. You and I know you can’t do this sh*t — not without me. Everybody know.” Crown then informs Lou that all he’s ever going to be is “Raq’s baby’s brother” — causing the episode’s most-shocking minute: Lou snaps and eliminates Crown by strangling him with a cable easily pushing top of some studio devices.

“The beautiful part about Lou and Crown is that you really saw a balance,” Quincy, 31, informs POPSUGAR. “For people not even in the music industry, they know this relationship dynamic. They’ve seen it, and I’m sure everybody kind of goes through it, where somebody may come in and offer opinions, and sometimes you feel like you’re becoming less of you because there’s so [many] opinions on the other side [that] you feel like you have to do something to make sure your respect is still there. And I think that was the ongoing story with Crown and Lou-Lou. I pushed the wrong button, and I understood it.”

When Quincy first joined the Power universe in 2021, he had no concept what remained in shop for his character. In truth, he just found out of Crown’s fate at a table check out for the episode. “[I was] super surprised,” he confesses. “You show up to the table read, they send you a script, and they let you know right there.” As an outcome, Quincy didn’t have much time to get ready for his onscreen death. He includes, “In life, you don’t prepare to die, so exactly how that is, it shocked me, it took a piece of me out . . . I didn’t wanna go out like that, but I think it’s a real beautiful scene . . . I’m never gonna forget it.”

So is this the last we’ve seen of Crown? Not rather. According to Quincy, we might get more screen time for the character in flashback scenes. He exposes, “Crown was such a staple in the happenings of what’s going on, especially with the music and the streets, and he provided this balance. There are some things that I’m sure we didn’t get to see that will make sense later — some flashbacks that will answer some questions later on. Yeah, I’m putting it out there: flashbacks.”

Quincy’s intro to the Power franchise remained in the very first season of “Raising Kanan,” which occurs in the ’90s in New York City’s South Jamaica, Queens. As a ’90s infant himself, getting to deal with this program was a classic experience for him. “It was a true dive into my life in a time where I was a baby,” he states. “I got to live as an adult in the time where I was just entering the world. So to actually be able to live through it — rock the clothes and to play with the little toys on set that are all from the ’90s, stuff that I remember — it felt good to insert myself in a time of history that was so important. To be a part of the Power universe is a blessing, and like I said, if it ain’t Crown coming back in flashbacks, it’ll be something. The Power universe has definitely won my love over.”

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” airs Sundays on Starz.
