If f(n)=O(g(n)), then shouldn't f(n)∗log2(f(n)^c)=O(g(n)∗log2(g(n))) depend on the value of C?

Solution
log(x^c) = c * log(x)
So,
log2(f(n)^c) == c * log2(f(n))
Therefore,
f(n)∗log2(f(n)^c) = c * f(n) * log2(f(n))
= O(g(n)∗log2(g(n)))
Problem
If `f(n)=O(g(n))`, then shouldn't `f(n)∗log2(f(n)^c)=O(g(n)∗log2(g(n)))` depend on the value of C? Here C is a positive constant. According to me if C is large then the statement would become false and if c is small it'd be true. Hence the outcome is dependent on c. I am taking a class on algorithms and this is one of the questions I was asked. According to me this should be dependent on constant c but the answer was wrong.
