50 Cent appeared on a recent episode of Young Money Radio where he and host Lil Wayne chopped it up about a variety of topics. At one point, they began discussing Fiddy’s thoughts on Black women — which didn’t sit well with Twitter.
“They get mad,” he said as Wayne laughed. “They get angry. You see a lot of sisters go, ‘You fuck with this kind of girl and that kind of girl? That shit is exotic! That shit look a lot different than the shit you see in the neighborhood all of the time. That shit look like it came off a boat.'”
One Twitter user wrote, “For Lil Wayne, a black man w/ a black daughter, to sit there while another black man (50 cent) implies that Black women aren’t ‘exotic’ & perpetrate the ‘angry/jealous/bitter black woman’ stereotype & LAUGH just really confirms that a lot of these celebs are colorist & anti black.”
And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Even Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter appeared to comment on 50’s interview.
“I’m black ! I’m beautiful ! I’m enough ! I’m exotic ! I’m amazing ! I’m one of a mf kind !!!!” she tweeted on Sunday (July 5). “Now where my black beautiful Queens at ?”
But 50, clearly unfazed, decided to double down on his comments. In an Instagram post, he slammed The Shade Room for posting the clip.
“The Shade Room ain’t shit for this,” he captioned the post. “what i said is true now picture me, unaffected, unapologetic and unavailable for any other comments.”
But there’s a sense 50 isn’t off the hook — at least not at home. His own girlfriend, Cuban Link, gently addressed the backlash via Instagram while wishing the television mogul a happy 44th birthday.
“don’t worry ladies,” she wrote. “I already knocked him upside his big ass head. Happy Birthday My Love.”
50’s perceived mistreatment of women has resulted in not only social media outrage but also lawsuits. In 2018, Teairra Mari attempted to sue the Hip Hop heavyweight for allegedly linking up with her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad to leak her sex tape without permission.

After 50 beat the case, he continued to bash the former Love & Hip Hop personality for not coughing up the $30,000 judgement awarded to him.
Twitter has seemingly endless thoughts on 50’s most recent comments. Check out some of the reactions below.
Black women are angry black bitches. FACTS !
no that white men are slurpers of black men. your women aren’t exotic without those fake asses and lip fillers
Hahahahaha. Preach!
Hey Siri define EXOTIC
Secoria Turner 8 year old girl killed by BLM, the world need too see this, this is not ok!!! This is gone 2 far, the whole world is watching !!!! All the justice yall be fighting for means nothing now!!! You failed!!!
It’s interesting that all of the above twitter posts do nothing but confirm many of the unfortunate stereotypes of black women that 50 cent himself pointed out.
wrong it just enforces that self hate black men have.
calling us fat but end up praisng a fat preference because she isn’t black lol
You angry black females are mad cause you know he’s telling the truth. Nobody wants to deal with a trifling heffer.
Man, I never thought the day would come where 50 was the realest motherfucker around. LOL. Here we are.
Back in like 2008, 50 did an interview where he said he didn’t mind the fact that he was no longer the hottest rapper in the game because only two were hotter, and one was a junkie and the other was a maggot (he didn’t say maggot). He was referring to Lil Wayne and Kanye. So I was surprised that Wayne did this interview, I guess they squashed whatever tension there may have been way back then.
“I’m black ! I’m beautiful ! I’m enough ! I’m exotic ! I’m amazing ! I’m one of a mf kind !!!”…….You sound self centered. You ain’t exotic, you waynes kid…you’re enough? Maybe you ain’t tho, just cuz you say it don’t make it true. 50 got an opinion, just like women got the opinion that black men ain’t shit and don’t do this that or the other thing. Get the fuck over yourselves, somebody expressed an opinion that you don’t like…that’s life, if you can’t handle that good fuckin luck. Just be glad yo daddy rich…he got a Bugatti
“You sound self centered.” … She probably is. This is a girl who has never worked a day in her life. She has no education, no skills, no talent. She brings nothing to the table. Her occupation is being Lil Wayne’s adult daughter that he has when he was like 15. Her daddy spent more time sipping lean than he did spending time with her.
she looks better than those white basic plastic, masculine face women yall praise
The truth hurts, don’t it ?!
