At least this guy goes to work rather than be a drug dealer, which is exactly what your stupid ass would be doing if you didn't strike it lucky.
She passed away a year or two ago. R.I.P.

Actually, 50 is a pretty savvy businessman. I wouldn't call him stupid.

fixed that for you.
You have to respect the hustle. It wasn't only his advisers.

50 deserves the flack.
He'll probably make amends by donating now and everyone will forgive him.

Even being the truth, this particular Instagram post is just legitimately funny (subjective I know), if Ricky Gervais made the same joke everyone would be hollaring.

What a douche. 50 should get over himself anyway, Get Rich is mediocre and overrated.

And fifty continues to catch L's for his fuckery.
probably lol
Ricky Gervais is a fat white dude people can identify with. Not a "low-life gangster" (lol) like 50. This thread is hilarious
WTF is this?
At age 12, Jackson began dealing narcotics when his grandparents thought he was in after-school programs[11] and brought guns and drug money to school. In the tenth grade, he was caught by metal detectors at Andrew Jackson High School: "I was embarrassed that I got arrested like that ... After I got arrested I stopped hiding it. I was telling my grandmother [openly], 'I sell drugs.'"
to clarify, if you've ever listened to more than two songs by 50, you'll hear him bragging about selling drugs in the past.

Ricky saying that would be a made up hypothetical joke. If he were to say that about his actual kids it would be just ás tacky as 50's joke.

I'll never watch Righteous Kill again.
No they wouldn't. I would still see it as bullying.

I think most of us from time-to-time have initial reactions in which we pass unfair judgment upon others.
The problem is when you fail to become cognizant that you may be passing unfair judgment upon others. And then when you take that to the public sphere in social media, you look like even more of a jackass.
That's where 50 Cent fucked up. Assumes the newer generation is crazier than the old and thus assumes the janitor is high rather than mentally challenged.
And unfortunately, this happens all the time. People are quick to pass judgment to:
- poor people and welfare recipients
- troubled kids at school
-rape victims
-LGBT
-immigrants
-minorities
If more people would take a second before they start to spread their judgmental ideas to others, we might be able to have some honest conversations about real issues.

Dude is a celebrity and you would think he would know better than to invade someone's life like that.

He apologized and donated $100k (the family asked for $10k)
They also accepted his apology.

Heard about this on the radio this morning. Glad he sets things right. Hopefully he learned a lesson here.

Seems like the best way to handle it. Apologize make a donation, and learn to be more careful.

Kinda confused about him saying there was a misunderstanding? If the victim didn't have autism that type of behavior is acceptable? I mean it's good that he donated but it's kinda easy to get off the hook like that.

When in doubt donate.

are you really wondering if it is it acceptable to openly mock someone who is actually high as hell on the job?
LOL it's funny, but I think a lot of what he says is jokes.
He also confirmed later that that's not really his biological son.
Dude is high and works at an airport, it's not that far fetched to take that matter public.
Problem is he wasn't high.
FloatingDivider

The question was rhetorical. Sorry should have made that more obvious.
Even if he was, there is a way to deal with it that does not involve putting a person on blast on instagram. I'm sure there are people you can report your suspicions, of a person sobriety to, at any airport.
You're not the only one that's said this, but what is funny about that statement?

He's saying something like: "Stop crying, because I should be the one crying now that I have to pay child support for you."
Sue for emotional distress? I don't know, but I think he has a case.

Lol, that 50 Cent, along with some other rappers, use to be drug dealers before they hit it big making music.

Yeah, no, it's still preeeeeeety fucking far fetched, and frankly, fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. the kid's not TSA. Put some random janitor on internet blast because maybe he's high, you think that's okay? You really think that's cool?

Still a dick.
Yes I understand what he is saying. What is funny about that?
