Yesterday, Truth Wins Out asked the rapper 50-Cent to clarify a Tweet he made that may have been anti-gay. Here is what he wrote:
“If you a man and your over 25 and you don’t eat pu**y just kill your self damn it. The world will be a better place.” Lol, Twitter.
In response, Truth Wins Out wrote in a press release:
“We hope that 50 Cent was simply expressing enthusiasm for oral sex in an inartful way,” said Truth Wins Out’s Executive Director Wayne Besen. “It would be unconscionable if he were calling on gays to commit suicide in the face of such tragedy. Only a despicable reprobate would do such a thing and leaders from Hollywood to Washington should condemn such rhetoric. Truth Wins Out calls on 50 Cent to clarify his remarks immediately.”
Eight minutes ago, 50-Cent left this message on Twitter:
The other night I made a joke about a blow job. My male followers enjoyed it. So I then went on to joke about women receiving the same….Some how they turned a simple joke about oral sex into a anti gay statement. I have nothing against people who choose and alternative life…Style in fact iv publicly stated my mom loved women. It funny how people think negative statements are news worthy but positive statements are not worthy of coverage.
Well, good for him. We are glad he clarified the Tweet and that it was not anti-gay.
** By the way, Mr. Half Dollar…FYI… it is not an alternate life and people do not choose to be gay.
Twitter will be a major cause of the death of language. And 50 Cent will be the death of hip hop.
Not really a shocker. This guy has always been an idiot.
Yea, OK, thanks for the clarification, but 50 Cent still said it wrong.
“…. people that CHOOSE an alternative lifestyle…..”
Uh, I didn’t ‘choose’ to be gay dude!
Is he saying his original Twitter was a ‘positive’ ‘newsworthy’ statement?
Well, all true. But, he’s a foul mouthed entertainer. We can’t expect Ms. Manners. I think it is still positive that his statement was not explicitly anti-gay, given the awful month of LGBT youth suicides.
Cool! His mom was queer!
If you’re an entertainer as well known as this dick you should spend a little more time thinking about what you’re twittering because it will be reported on and it will be read by a lot of people. Whether his statement was explicitly anti-gay it was stupid. But then, as with most of these people I’m sure he’s surrounded by sycophants who tell him he’s a genius and that everything he does is brilliant.
Wow, yes good for him. I’m sure gay people everywhere except the dead ones are breathing a sigh of relief.
Loser.
I could see where 50 cent was making a oral sex joke. It was just bad timing. What I don’t want to hear is: “…i have nothing against people who choose to live an alternative lifestyle.”
I didn’t choose anything. That phrase is dangerous. I am glad that he chooses to have a regular lifestyle.If he doesn’t have anything against me, then why does he get to be regular and I am the freaky alternative?
To 50cent: We are both men. You love pussy. I love dick. The condition of gayness is not an alternative. So therefore let me define what an alternative actually is. An “alternative” would be if you decided to f**k a nice throw pillow; or, get somthin crackin with a nice flock of sheep. Now those are some tasty alternatives. But for me, I am not choosing an alternative lifestyle. I am regular just like you. Yup.
Dear Fiddy,
Bite me.
i don’t trust him- he should do a commercial in support of Gays

50 cent is obviously a scholar who read English and Literature at Oxford University, his eloquence and gifted intellect is something that only a lucky few will ever have the privilege of knowing. His deep understanding of humanity and it’s artful expression in prose and music will undoubtedly outlive even the mediocrity of Mozart, Beethoven, and Goethe. He is a beacon for all who aspire to lift the human condition to its noblest and highest cultural potential.
