Hakeem Lyon is a fictional character from the American musical drama Empire on FOX, played by Bryshere Y. Gray. Hakeem, one of the main characters within the series, is the youngest and once-favorite son of hip-hop mogul Lucious (Terrence Howard) and his wife Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson). Hakeem has the star quality to become a superstar like his father, but lacks the discipline.
