When FOX News asked 50 for his thoughts on the impending presidential election, 50 said that he opts for democrat Hillary Clinton, saying that while he doesn’t have anything against fellow liberal candidate Barack Obama, that Clinton would “do a good job.” He later adds, “I’m not sure if America is ready to have a black president. They might kill him.”
O’Reilly aired footage from the 50 Cent interview on his own show, O’Reilly Factor. After 50’s last comment, O’Reilly flatly smirks, “Pinhead.”
On the video posted on ThisIs50, the Queens emcee elaborates on his views regarding the election, and how he feels about O’Reilly’s comments.

“I might be blunt by saying they might actually kill him, but that would be the worst case scenario,” he says. “…If you’re African American, you understand that racism isn’t gone. So you’ve got to take that into account.”
50 laughed off O’Reilly’s name-calling.
“I didn’t know whether to be angry, because I had never been called a pinhead before,”50 cracked. “That ain’t the worst thing I’ve been called. At least call [noted 50 Cent rival] Fat Joe, he can figure out other things to say. This is hip-hop, this is what we do.”

“Actually, the kind of person that I would fear that Obama would be at risk to is a person like Bill O’Reilly,” 50 continued. “Bill O’Reilly probably has a confederate flag on the top of his Lexus 450 right now, riding down the highway, listening to the ‘Good Ol Boys.’ This guy dislikes hip-hop, period.”
O’Reilly has a history of blasting hip-hop on his show and in his books, perhaps most known for his segment which had Cam’ron and Dame Dash as guests answering to a high school principal’s concerns about lyrical content.
