If there’s one thing 50 Cent is going to do, it’s standing up for his friends. The music and entertainment mogul has been showing support to actress and comedian Mo’Nique on Instagram lately after she was blackballed by the film industry.
50 called out Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Lee Daniels and more to apologize to Mo for her treatment over the years and promised to help her find her way back into the industry. It’s looking like 50’s mission is gathering steam.
On Tuesday (March 15), 50 Cent took to Instagram to detail a recent conversation with Tyler Perry regarding the situation with Mo’Nique. According to the Queens, New York native, things are all good with the Madea film series creator.
“I talk to Tyler today he told me he never told anyone not to hire @therealmoworldwide and he is happy i decided to work with her,” he wrote. “He said he couldn’t speak for Oprah but he is sure she is fine with monique and has even brought her up for things monique has no idea about. I’m so happy for Mo right now ! GLG GreenLightGang She Back.”
The conversation happened just a day after 50 Cent called out Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey on Instagram. He spoke about how with their massive influence, they are hurting the career of someone who’s been a part of the culture for over 30 years.
“I’m sure Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry would not want to continue to allow there influence to damage @therealmoworldwide career and this has gone on for way to long,” he wrote. “So now would be a great time to apologize because i’m gonna put her back on. GLG GreenLighGang I don’t miss!”
50 Cent Threatens To Pull 'Power' Universe From STARZ In Instagram Diss Post
Mo’Nique’s issues with the film industry began after she won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in 2009’s Precious. She hasn’t been afraid to call out certain people she thinks had a role in blackballing her over the last few years, such as Oprah, Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels.
50 Cent began showing support to Mo’Nique earlier this month with numerous Instagram posts dedicated to her acting ability and comedic skills. He saluted her stand-up performance during Super Bowl LVI weekend, her Oscar-winning role in 2009’s Precious, and even had a large number of his followers supporting his cause.
Maybe he should give Young Buck a call then.
Not happening, bro.
F@$! 50! He needs to apologize to his first born son and stay outta peeps biz. Monique’s mouth and attitude ruined her career.
If 50 cent want to support Monique, that’s good. He has no business calling out other people names. That’s a infringement on someone’s private life. Blessings
Funny how stuff gets twisted. Oprah and Tyler had nothing to do with her problems. LionsGate, a major studio, bought Precious at Sundance and brought Tyler and Oprah on to help promote the film. They tried to get Monique on board for overseas promotion, she wouldn’t cooperate. The Studio caused her problems, she blamed Oprah and Tyler for not standing up for her stupidity. But if you look a little further, ask Debra Lee, former BET CEO, what she and her husband were like to work with on The Monique Show. Or ask Will Packer who cast her in Almost Xmas when nobody else was casting her. She’s a pain in the buttx2 with her good-for-nothing husband.
Monique never had a Hollywood career! She’s been exclusively Black Hollywood with The Monique Show on BET, Parkers on CW; Precious was written and adapted to screen by black people, directed by a black man and exec produced by black people. She has NOTHING out there in mainstream Hollywood. So she pisses off the TWO biggest names driving Black Hollywood with her nasty attitude. She’s been in show business for 25 yrs, but owns nothing, produces nothing. Her husband is President of Hicks Media Productions which to date has produced ZERO relevant content, but she tries to act like a boss making demands.
Y y’all always worried about him and his first son you so like a clown you don’t know what happened with that the kid could b a asswhole smh
