YouTuber’s Intriguing Power Theory: Could Lou Lou Be Ghost’s Father?”

Ghost Meets His Father is a compelling YouTube video by Lou Lou, the creator of Getting It How I Live, who delves deep into the Power universe with an explosive theory. The video examines the possibility that Lou Lou, a character from Power Book III: Raising Kanan, may have a relationship with James St. Patrick—better known as “Ghost.”

The Power franchise could be significantly impacted by this theory, as it ties together crucial narrative elements and recontextualizes some of Ghost’s key motivations and actions across the Power series.

The YouTuber begins by revisiting a scene from the original Power series, where Ghost sits outside his nightclub, Club Truth, contemplating his journey and making a symbolic gesture towards his father.

“I did it, your boy did it, pops.”

The theory that Ghost never truly knew his father until much later in life gives new meaning to this scene. According to the theory, Lou Lou may be the father Ghost was referring to – a father who also owns a nightclub, giving Ghost a legacy to aspire to and eventually achieve.

The video adds to this idea by recording an exchange between Ghost and Angela, where Angela reminds him of his father’s unsuccessful nightclub venture. Ghost’s response, ‘I told you about my father’s nightclub; he lost the place before we met,’ could suggest that he was referring to losing contact with his father, rather than meeting Angela. This subtle reinterpretation allows for a whole new backstory, in which Lou Lou loses his nightclub to struggles and circumstances similar to those experienced by Ghost himself later.

The video goes even further, speculating that Lou Lou fathered Ghost unknowingly, while still in high school, possibly as a result of a brief relationship with a woman who disappeared before informing him of her pregnancy. This situation is similar to what Monet did with Zeke in Power Book II: Ghost, where she concealed his identity from his father, Mecca. Getting It How I Live draws parallels to emphasize how family secrets and the struggle for independence are recurring themes in the Power universe, shaping each character’s motivations and the course of their lives.

The concept of Lou Lou being Ghost’s father is connected to Ghost’s eventual ownership of a nightclub and his desire to establish a legacy that is distinct from the criminal underworld.

Lou Lou has faced struggles in raising Kanan. The YouTuber claims that Lou Lou’s quest to clean up his life, but being constantly drawn back into crime, is a reflection of Ghost’s own life path. Lou Lou’s struggles with alcoholism, culminating in his stint in rehab, could be a foreshadowing of how Ghost might remember his father as ‘a drunk’, a label Tommy uses when criticizing Ghost’s family background.

Getting It How I Live highlights the dynamic between Ghost and Kanan, which could change drastically if Kanan becomes his cousin. Lou Lou may have intentionally kept Ghost away from Kanan and others in the criminal world, as suggested by the YouTuber, despite the characters never acknowledging a familial bond in the original series. It makes sense that Lou Lou wants to protect his son from the dark side of life, and that’s a goal he probably shares with his brother Marvin, who he might trust to protect his son’s innocence.

Ghost and Lou Lou are identified by the YouTuber as sharing certain characteristics, such as their visionary mindsets and complex relationships with violence and the law. Hallucinations, which might be a hereditary trait, connect both characters beyond their physical appearance.

Ghost’s wish to assist his community and invest in the Queens Child Project (QCP) is based on this theory.

This could be viewed as an attempt to meet the aspirations that his father once had but was unable to realize. By acquiring Lou Lou’s bar and converting it into a community project, Ghost could honor his father’s legacy and redeem it.

This theory not only provides new perspectives on long-standing questions, but it also opens up additional possibilities for storytelling in the Power universe. If it turns out that Lou Lou is Ghost’s father, it could have an impact on how fans view Ghost’s journey and motivations throughout the series. The narrative is enriched by this theory, which connects characters across timelines and solidifies Power’s complex generational conflicts.

In the end, Getting It How I Live provides Power universe fans with a fresh perspective on Ghost’s origin story.

The legacy of Lou Lou, who is depicted as his father, influenced Ghost’s life in subtle ways.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan’s future installments is eagerly awaited by fans.

This theory has the potential to become one of the most talked-about ideas in the fandom, adding yet another layer of complexity to the already complex Power saga.
