If you’ve been keeping up with
Power Book II, you know Tariq is following in his late father’s footsteps in more ways than one. Not only has he set up his own intricate drug business, furthering his education and social standing in the process, he’s falling for two girls. If you recall, Ghost married his wife Tasha St. Patrick who was all about fast money, but cheated on her with his childhood girlfriend, Angela, who was a well-educated, by the book career woman. Now, Tariq is falling for Diana (
LaToya Tonodeo), the daughter of a drug kingpin and Lauren (
Paige Hurd), a peer he met at Stansfield University.
Like father, like son.
