50 Cent has addressed Justin Bieber, a singer who recently had two videos released where he is using the n-word and making other racist remarks.
“I don’t think he’s racist,” 50 Cent says in an interview with The Sun, according to the Daily Mail. “I don’t think he even knows who he is at this point. He’s so young. When you see people become huge stars real early, it’s tough for them.”
50 Cent elaborates on this, explaining why he feels it’s been difficult for Bieber.
“You have to grow up with all these expectations,” 50 says. “I think Justin’s still a baby and he’s lost.”
50 Cent also describes what it was like to hang out with Bieber, both friends of boxer Floyd Mayweather.
50 says Bieber was a “young kid who just wanted to chill.”
Recently, Mack Maine said Young Money would continue working with Justin Bieber. However, Bieber has also been critcized by artists. Lupe Fiasco recently wondered if Bieber would receive the same treatment as Donald Sterling, the former Los Angeles Clippers owner who was banned from the NBA for life for making racist remarks.
“I wonder if Justin Bieber is going to get the same treatment as Donald Sterling,” Fiasco said. “I don’t think he will. It’s an absurd twist of fate. Absurd thing. I guess that’s how the universe puts things out…It’ll test you with this. See how people react. Then you get somebody who we quote-unquote ‘like’ who says it and says it even more racist-ier. And we don’t bat an eyelash. It becomes this absurd thing. That’s why I don’t even deal with it…Whatever. I don’t really care either way. It’s just interesting to point out.”

He comes across to me, like a lost & confused little boy, who’s trying to find his identity. At the moment he thinks his BLACK.
Stop analyzing the kid. What he said was wrong, but tame compared to the shit rappers have been saying in song for years.
Yep. Bieber gonna show’m how to get away with it and the Sambos of hip hop are going to keep getting that money with him..shucking and jiving, eh.
Haha still a baby that’s true, Finally 50 cent saying something real for once.
@ anon2
For once?, you better check some of his interviews
Biebs been letting Fif get a taste of that tight little white ass
The uncle toms are out and strong…fif is a washed up loser.
Yeah
Donkey balls are a tad bit saltier than human balls.
if hes old enough to deal wit fame than hes old enough to think like an adult…
The difference was Sterling had a vendetta with Magic Johnson. Both franchises hated each other, and the comments, while not smart, were about Magic. Bieber’s little skits were worse cause it seemed like he believed what he was saying, cause why else would you record yourself saying shit like that? Society is so quick to judge cause then they don’t have to look at themselves and address their own hate.
To disregard Sterling’s statements and focus on Bieber’s is FUCKING RETARDED. Sterling is a true racist, whereas Bieber was just a kid acting stupid. Chappelle’s Show has said and done far more racist things, yet nobody cares cause its TV. Get the fuck out of here.
white people have a priveledge which many of us are not aware of, at the same time what i see tend to happen is a ignorant caucasion will make a racist remark, and instead of society talking about what we can do to eliminate this problem in the future for our seeds sake, we talk about it, empower it and god forbid sometimes we even celebrate it. the irony of it all is when it comes to tackling the issue we don’t do it, we just insight more racism / promote it and that goes to all cultures unfortunately.
it would be a shame that genuine people who have been raised to not judge people on race and creed etc end up receiving backlash for some idiots do.
if WE (all cultures) want to prevent this in the future we really need to look at ourselves in the mirror, see what problems we have and how we can cure those issues, and that goes for black, white, asian everyone.
*for what some idiots do.
if kramer was putting food in black peoples mouths like justin is 50 would be defending him just the same.
what black people is he feeding though? I bet Seinfeld had more black employees than Bieber.
Im a black faggot
“Sterling is a true racist, whereas Bieber was just a kid acting stupid”
How do you know? Have you been around him for the past 80 years of his life? Bieber filmed these little skits on purpose. Sterling was having a conversation with his whore. Slight difference.
