50 Cent has let his humor run wild once again by poking fun at Redman‘s reason for not appearing in Season 3 of Power Book II: Ghost.
On Saturday (July 1), Fif reposted a clip of an interview where Redman was speaking about why he was noticeably absent from the hit TV show this season.
“I walked away from Power,” he explained. “I walked away from Power after the second episode because everybody on the show had to have the jab and I wasn’t with it. That’s what I’m saying. You have to stand your ground.
“Like, would Power have been a game changer for me? Yes. The money was good. It’s a well-known show that could’ve helped my career. But, is my health less important than being on the show? Fuck no!”
He added: “My health is more important to me. And I had to make a choice. Either I was going to sacrifice myself with this third-world order bullshit or I just walk away.”
Being the consummate businessman that he is, 50 Cent wasted no time by not only bragging about his TV show, but also proudly letting people know that he’s vaccinated and not missing out on the bag.
“He’s not lying he walked right away [walk away emoji] from the #1 show in African American and Latino house holds,” he said. “SMH [laughing and squinting eyes emoji] I took the shot fuck that. LOL.”
Check out Fif’s post below:
The Def Squad legend’s reasoning matches up with Method Man’s comments on the The Breakfast Club about the topic back in June.
“You really wanna know why? He wouldn’t get the jab,” Meth explained when asked about his rhyme partner’s absence from the show. “At least that’s what I heard. Did I talk to Redman about it, No? … Shit like that don’t even need to be said. He’s not the first or the last person that’ll probably happen to.”
He added: “Redman, he made a decision and I stick by whatever that decision was. If he feels that was best for him, I agree with him.”
Actor Jordan Mahon ended up stepping into Red’s shoes to handle the role of Theo Rollins in Season 3 of Power Book II. Rollins played the sick brother of Davis MacLean (Method Man) who was behind bars for a crime that MacLean, a prominent lawyer, actually committed.
Unfortunately, Rollins’ time in the show came to an end in Season 3 when he died by suicide after murdering dirty lawyer Cooper Saxe and shooting himself seconds later.
Redman isn’t the first rapper-actor to have issues with Hollywood’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Ice Cube also lost out on a role due to his anti-vaccination stance in 2021.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cube quit the movie Oh Hell No after declining producers’ requests to get vaccinated, resulting in him losing out on a $9million paycheck.
Cube has been vocal about wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as he handed out 2,000 face masks to use as personal protective equipment to Bacone College in Oklahoma, but it seems that’s the only protection he believes was needed.
What does the vax have to do with anything? Why are black spaces always pawns for the democrat party? Democrats have done nothing for us but we continue to worship them. We are the only people who reward failure.

Probably a mix of the welfare state and propoganda. Democrats selling points are between social justice and free stuff, paid for by the working class. A LOT of people spend multiple generations living on the system, which in turn ensures they are kept in their places. It’s no good. I say hand ups make sense. Hand outs? Nope. Can’t build generational wealth by living on the system. Going to work is how you build up each generation to have it easier than the last.
Redman is the GOAT for me, but i can do without his acting.
Lol! Me too. Imma go back to dusting Muddy Waters. It’s not given the props that it’s earned.
“50 cent clowns Redman”. Clowns? No. More like 50 says “screw being with or against the shot if one choice gets me to the money”.if the money only came being unvaxxed, 50 wouldn’t have gotten it. But since the system mandated a Vax that didn’t really change anything, he did it, to keep working. Bidens like “we never mandated the Vax”. Yeah, they just tried to make you fail economically and lose everything you’ve worked for in life if you didn’t get it. Even if it did work, it doesn’t stop the spread, and wears off within a few months, and covid itself mutates, like the flu. Screw that Vax.
🤐
What, did OP use too many big words for you nigtarded mind?
Deleting all redman from my music collection as we speak. Cube was gone already. They might be great rappers but for all the rest they dumb as a rock. being rich only makes it worse for some people. Frickin lunatic antivaxxers.
People like you are the reason why Hip Hop is so co-opted and watered down today. The origins of Hip Hop was based on being rebellious and revolutionary. Since when did Hip Hop supposed to represent the interest of Big Pharma Companies????
@Eli The origins of hip hop have absolutely nothing to do with Covid or the vaccine, or anti vaxers… u bozo
Not wanting a particular vaccine doesn’t make someone an anti vaxxer, any more than questioning the side effects of any pharma drug makes someone anti drug use. You’re an idiot. I never have taken a flu Vax, or covid Vax. By some crazy miracle, I’ve been fine since forever. Somehow, the AMISH, who have the lowest vaccination rate in USA, have healthier old years and a longer life expectancy than the rest of us… hmmm, perhaps the these drugs and vaccines aren’t actually helping us all that much.
Wack Perspective by 50….loss of respect here for 50 on doing as told…not gangsta.
Not everyone is a sell out sucker for money. Mind ur businss
Redman a pureblood, 50 looks like the clown, not even a vax . Dude took a gene therapy shot for the flu lol
That’s why 50 stopped cardio; so his heart don’t explode
The sheep who took the vaxx are now the people abruptly dying or being subjected to various long-term/lifelong side effects and that’s just within a 2 year span
