EFFEN Vodka profoundly disappointed with 50 Cent.
The fallout from a video 50 Cent posted, which shows him poking fun of a disabled man, has continued.
AllHipHop.com has learned exclusively that EFFEN Vodka, a brand 50 has promoted heavily in recent months, is disappointed with the Queens rapper’s actions. A statement from the brand is as follows:
“EFFEN is a brand that considers social responsibility the highest of priorities, and 50 Cent’s recent actions are in no way representative of EFFEN® Vodka or our brand values. We are taking this situation extremely seriously and have communicated our profound disappointment to 50 Cent directly.”
50 Cent has since apologized for the video, which was posted on Instagram earlier this week.
“While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man,” 50 Cent said in a statement issued to Page Six. “It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community, which is a source of great strength in America. I have apologized personally to him and his family.”
The family has reportedly chosen to accept 50 Cent’s apology, and will not take further legal action.

LOL 50 is stoopid. although theres no excuse for his actions and im in no way trying to justify his behavior but the young man with autism did look blazed ????????????????????.
LMFAO Thats what I’ve been saying. He really does look blazed and I for 1 really am not mad @ 50. He wasnt doing it maliciously. Shit mad funny tho, fuck what yall say lmfao
Too much coverage for this really. I thought it would be worse by the way everyone reacted. Misunderstanding and he apologized for it- move on.
Fuck That if that was your little brother you wouldn’t feel that way…. This guy is bully coward!!
Fuck That if that was your little brother you wouldn’t feel that way…. This guy is bully coward!!
You are exactly right Ja Rule. This was someones son, brother, nephew, grandson etc. A person who struggles and manages to hold down a job and contribute to society.
EFFEN Vodka causing autism and dementia. fuck EFFEN vodka!
they have to say that. truth is since 50 got involved effen sales have gone through the roof.
I’m a 50 Cent fan but enough with the social media bullshit now Fif’!
50 is the definition of a jackass..i mean straight donkey..french and rozay said it best.
anybody who supports 50 is a lame duck
Yeah to Lame clowns calling him a donkey. French Montana is trash
dj khaled keep winning 50 keep loosing..#facts
It feels like it’s over for 50, sad
50 cent is a dick! He cost his self so much just by being him self…
I told you clowns 50 didn’t own Effen and that he just works for them…Effen is 50’s boss
He went overboard with it but if I see someone blazed or drunk at work i’d call them out too. It’s unfortunate that he is autistic, but how’s one to tell by looking. Poor decision to blast him on social media, should’ve at least confirmed he was high before that, but overall I think this is a non-issue. He wasn’t teasing him because he’s disabled, which would be considered bullying. Calling someone out for being high at work is actually responsible. So many bleeding hearts these days…
Fuck the game and fuck everyone who dont support 50 cent ffs this man come from nothing now look where he is
