50 Cent has come to the defense of former NBA star Shawn Kemp after he was arrested Wednesday (March 8) in connection to a drive-by shooting in Tacoma, Washington.
The G-Unit boss took to Instagram hours after Kemp’s arrest to address everyone who’s had something to say about the story. According to 50, no one should be judging Reign Man until all the facts come to light.
“I don’t know what’s going on here, but don’t judge this brother till all the facts come out. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi,” 50 captioned his post.
According to ESPN, Shawn Kemp was arrested and booked into Pierce County Jail in Tacoma, Washington after shots rang out in a mall parking lot on Wednesday afternoon. Police say the shootout was sparked by an altercation between people in two separate vehicles near the Tacoma Mall.
One of the vehicles fled the scene, but no injuries were reported. A gun was recovered and an investigation is ongoing. Online records for the Pierce County Police Department show Kemp was booked on a felony drive-by-shooting charge about four hours after the incident.
Shawn Kemp was selected 17th overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1989 NBA draft. He went on to become a star with his array of power dunks and incredible athleticism, and was named an NBA All-Star six times in his 14-year career.
50 Cent isn’t one to shy away from commenting on what’s happening in the news. The Queens native also shared his thoughts on Wednesday about former BET CEO Debra Lee admitting to an affair with BET founder, Bob Johnson.
“You would not believe what goes on behind the scenes,” he wrote in an Instagram post next to a screenshot of an article about the salacious story.
“Wow Deb must got that WAP [laughing emoji],” he added in a second post that revealed Lee started as a legal clerk at BET. “He gave her the whole shit, here you run it bae ! LOL.”
When he isn’t dishing out unfiltered opinions, 50 Cent is hard at work on his television empire and letting fans know he doesn’t mind if they cheat their way into watching his shows.
Ahead of the season three premiere of Power Book II: Ghost, the G-Unit mogul admitted he’s indifferent if fans stream the show illegally, as he just wants people to tune in to the new season regardless.
“Now you already know I don’t care how you watch this but you gotta see this,” he tweeted earlier this week while sharing the action-packed trailer for the new season, which airs on March 17 on STARZ. “I don’t care if you got a jail broke fire stick. check me out.”
Whoa Shawn Kemp… it brings back childhood memories when we used to go to the playground and pretend we were players of the All Star Game 98. If this news is true it’s very sad cause I cannot believe how a successful player like him who made tons of money can find himself in such situation SMH
why can’t you believe it? Kemp had a cocaine and alcohol problem dating back to his playing days. You don’t remember Fat Shawn Kemp when he went to Cleveland?
There is a difference between cocaine and alcohol addiction and attempted murder dumb fuck!
You might not be able to believe it but I’m not very surprised considering all the guns we have in this country! Think about it, 2 crews get into a random argument and all it takes is 1 or 2 on each side to have a gun and before you know shots are getting fired and niggas is fleeing like rats deserting a sinking ship, it doesn’t even matter if someone is a famous athlete or not, when there’s so many guns in circulation, it’s almost inevitable that shit is going to hit the fan regardless!
It’s odd that the guy who’s made a career off of judging people before any facts come out, is now advising others not to judge before any facts come out. I don’t disagree with the message, but the messenger isn’t a credible source to deliver it.
So basically fifty is claiming Morant is “a gud boi” who “din du nufin”. I swear black people are ridiculous in their low intelligence.
