50 CENT SLAMMED FOR GAY TWEET
US rapper 50 Cent has been criticised for a comment he made on Twitter about anti-gay violence in response to an insult from Perez Hilton.
Reacting to the gossip blogger calling him a “douchebag,” 50 Cent tweeted: “Perez Hilton calld me douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better. “
The tweet was accompanied by a photo of two men in suits running away from an angry mob.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) called on the rapper to “let his fans know that anti-gay violence isn’t something to joke about”.
“Instead of keeping his dispute with Perez Hilton ‘mano a mano,’ rapper 50 Cent decided to take his frustration with the blogger out on all gay people,” said the organisation.
The rapper has previously made anti-gay comments.
“I don’t like gay people around me, because I’m not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I’m not prejudiced. I just don’t go with gay people and kick it — we don’t have that much in common. I’d rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that’s cool,” he told Playboy in 2004.
He also came under fire last year for describing the planned Kanye West and Lady Gaga tour, which was ultimately cancelled, “the Gay Tour”.
Go away Perez and 50 Cent. Can anyone tell me if there is a point to a rabid little ferret like Perez Hilton other than pissing off idiotic rappers like 50 Cent?
And which would gay guy would be comfortable him? He’s revolting. No self respecting gay man would touch him with ten foot barge pole.
Well Said. how very true…he actually needs to be slapped with a 10 foot barge pole and then maybe a 10th bullet is in order, the marksman should make it count this time !!!
You have nothing to worry about, we don’t like you either…. I guess I should be disappointed but I never really liked the guy or his music for that matter. He’s not comfortable around gay people but he’s acting like a self-absorbed drag queen diva.
Don’t worry 50 Cent, I wouldn’t even pay 10 Cents to sleep with you if you were the only other man on earth.
It is rather upsetting to know that people like that still exist though – the kind who automatically assume that if you’re a gay male or female, you’re going to have feelings for any person of the same sex you meet.
