The Jussie Smollett saga came to a climatic close on Thursday (March 10) as the Empire star was hit with a 150-day sentence behind bars and 30 months of felony probation for his hate crime hoax in February 2019.
50 Cent is feeling inspired by Smollett’s antics, who maintained his innocence and made sure everyone knew he wasn’t suicidal while being escorted out of the courtroom. The Queens legend took to Instagram on Friday (March 11) to joke about channeling the disgraced actor at his next court appearance.
“If i ever go to court again, i don’t care if it’s for a parking ticket,” 50 wrote. “i’m gonna say this I AM NOT SUICIDAL,I’M INNOCENT, I COULD HAVE SAID I WAS GUILTY A LONG TIME AGO. as i walk out.”
The G-Unit boss then took the party over to Twitter where he continued to clown the disgraced actor. 50 claims he knew Jussie Smollett was lying about the entire ordeal and staged the hate crime since the jump.
“This fool is crazy, i knew he was lying from the beginning LOL ask @lala,” he added.
50 Cent even pondered the idea of having the situation play out on his STARZ Power universe and joked how Smollett thought he was the new Tupac Shakur.
“WTF If this happen on POWER, he said he was the new 2pac. LOL,” 50 continued to pile on.
Although Smollett has long maintained his innocence, prosecutors argued he paid brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo to carry out the staged hate crime attack against Smollett to “garner sympathetic media coverage.”
The openly gay actor claimed he was attacked by two men near his Chicago apartment around 2 a.m. on January 29, 2019 when he was going for a late-night snack at Subway. He claimed the assailants shouted racist and homophobic slurs before hitting him, pouring a substance on his head on him and tying a noose around his neck.
Smollett was ultimately convicted on five counts of disorderly conduct and was also fined $25,000 and ordered to pay $120,000 in restitution to the city of Chicago.
Jussie Smollett Sentenced To 150 Days In Jail As Judge Tells Him He's 'Destroyed' His Life
“You’ve destroyed your life as you knew it,” Judge James Linn told him. “There is nothing any sentencing judge could do compared to the damage you’ve already done … Your very name is a verb for lying. I can’t imagine anything worse than that.”
Everyone except gays and white women femenists who do nothing but sit on a computer all day on social understood that it was fake.
This guy is pure evil. I wish everyone who tried to leverage success off of fake racism would get the same treatment
LMA0…”fake”? Ahh the irony!!! LmFa0!!!!
empire is a good show.
Are you kidding me? All the gangbangers, dope dealers, shooters in the Chi that walk in and out their courts no time served. But Jussie going to jail for what white people been doing for years. Black people stop it. Kids are dying from guns.
Sad situation. I hope this will be a lesson to those who are constantly crying and complaining “victim” status (Meaghan and Henrietta, this goes for the two of you as well). The race card is being thrown down far too often as an excuse for bad behavior. The “victim” excuse of Jussie, Meghan, and Harry are pathetic considering they are adults and should know better. How utterly pathetic. Get a grip and set an example for the future in a positive way, not whining about the difficulties you all “supposedly” face. The three of you should be ashamed. All races should be ashamed of you three. There are people who are actually suffering and they brush themselves off and start over regardless of how hurt and disappointed they are and do you know why? Because they have pride, integrity, and faith in God (something the three of you will most likely never possess).
Race and religion, stop. It was a lie everytime you called police on your drunk relative or partner that you didn’t send to jail or your bad kids that you couldn’t control. I’m gonna need those 150dys from your ass too
