When asked if he would move into philanthropic work, Howard said, "No, not philanthropy. I'm just focusing on bringing truth to the world."
The entertainer did reflect on his last episodes playing the love-to-hate Lucious Lyon. "The cast. I love the cast members. I will miss them a great deal, and the crew," he said.
The news of his supposed retirement coincides with Howard's recent legal troubles, as his finances are reportedly being investigated by the federal government over unpaid taxes.
