Warning: Spoilers Ahead
For those fans who watched the explosive season finale episode of Empire , the final minutes included some serious twists and shifts in the characters’ plot lines and story arcs. While the hashtag #EmpireFinale is currently still trending intensely enough for it to appear under Twitter’s trending section, as reported by the Inquisitr , a dark horse hashtag called #BeOnEmpire should soon begin to give the former hashtag a run for its money.
That’s because the #BeOnEmpire hashtag is the one that was shown on television and on the Empire Twitter page . It’s also the one that gains a selected person a walk-on role during season two to the runaway hit show.
What is Lucious Lyon’s real name? Tweet now with # BeOnEmpire for a chance at a walk-on role in S2!
Those watching closely remember that Lucious — as played brilliantly with serious intensity by Terrence Howard — confessed to his son Jamal that Lyon wasn’t actually his real name. That moniker was adopted by Lucious as a young boy, alone and on the streets, knowing that his real name would get him beat up or killed before long. That’s when Dwight Walker became Lucious, a man who made himself a “Lyon” that wouldn’t be ferociously eaten alive in the streets, but would devour his opponents in stead.
The ‘Empire’ season one cliffhanger, as reported by Deadline , certainly had enough flips and turns, with (spoiler alert!) Lyon finding out he was misdiagnosed and doesn’t have ALS at all.
As far as the “ Be on Empire ” sweepstakes is concerned, the rules of the contest, as laid out by Fox, aren’t as simple as naming Lucious’ real name — but they also include other steps, such as following the Empire Twitter account, so read all the rules thoroughly. As expected, the #BeOnEmpire hashtag has some hilarious tweets already coming into play on Twitter, and from some well-known actors, like comedian Jackee Harry.
@EmpireFOX Are you really going to make me use a hashtag to get on this show? #BeOnEmpire pic.twitter.com/N9Bxbe1Ap3

Along with their #BeOnEmpire tweets, folks are wondering aloud about what kinds of roles they’d play. And with news that heavy-hitters like Oprah and Common are planning to make appearances during the sophomore season of Empire , imagine the opportunity for a newbie non-actor (as the Fox rules state the winner must be) to work alongside those famous folks. No wonder the #BeOnEmpire tweets are coming in quickly.
