Speaking to People magazine ahead of the season four premiere on September 6th, Rainey Jr., 23, opened up about Tariq’s internal struggle. As per the actor, what drives his character each day is his desire not to end up like his father but he cannot acknowledge how much he resembles Ghost.
Rainey Jr. said that in this season, fans will get a look into Tariq’s everyday life as he gradually becomes more like Ghost without realizing it. The denial that Tariq has towards their commonalities is what this season deals with. He said, “Tariq really doesn’t think he’s like Ghost, but the world knows. The world knows. That definitely will be brought to the forefront a lot more this season.”
Tariq believes that he is different from Ghost but the world sees him as a copy of his father. The actor also hinted at the fact that there would be tests on the friendship between Tariq and Brayden over loyalty throughout this season. Rainey Jr. also expressed eagerness for audiences to see how these relationships develop. Part two of Season 4 Power Book II: Ghost airs on Starz on September 6th.
