50 cent mocks disabled kid vol...SCUMBAG FIDDY

I guess 50 still doesn't take the straight path anywhere. I understand you get bumps and bruises in life but at some point don't you have to live and learn?
 
50 Cent has issued a written apology to the family of the autistic Cincinnati airport employee he previously mocked in an Instagram video.
“While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, please accept my sincere apologies for offending you,” the rapper wrote.

“It was certainly not my intent to insult you and I wish you and your family well.”

Andrew Farrell, 19, and his family accepted the apology via a statement to a local news station. “A great lesson can be learned from this heartbreaking situation. Regardless of the way that another person appears to you, it is never okay to publicly humiliate them via social media. We hope that this situation brings more awareness to what people with autism and other forms of social anxiety suffer through on a daily basis.”

I just think he was trying to be funny and it went horribly wrong. 


People don't understand the era and environment 50 comes from.


Nothing is PC in South Jamaica.


This isn't the first time they came at his neck either.


Holly Robinson Peete came at him for talking about "autistic" kids on his "timeline" back in 2012.

Even if the guy wasn't suffering from some sort of disability, it's still not cool at all to go around harassing random people and posting it online for the whole world to see. 50 is 40 years old, he should know better.
What type of grown man does that?

i'd have to agree. i mean we see someone high, leaning over....even drooling cuz the drugs are over 9000. and yea we'd say " dam son check out that person" or even get a giggle out of it cuz they look so ridiculous sometimes.


but addiction is a sad problem in this country, and frankly its a stupid problem to have, one that is colorblind, and affects newborns to adults. the last thing i would do is follow someone around and put them on celebrity blast for being what i would assume is high, simply because u never know, that person could be desperate to break free, but can't and prolly is in a world of despair. its kind of OD, but in this day and age, too many people looking for E props (or NT reps) that morality kind goes right out the window, much less a backseat. this is why i hate wshh.

thats just me tho...
 
Of course, addiction is a sad problem. Look what just happened to Prince with Painkillers. R.I.P
Is it cool to make fun of his addiction?
The thread response would be 50 times this thread.
All while, this man is really disabled. It's OK tho since it's 50.
 
i live in huber heights ohio, about 30 min north of where he was making appearances signing bottles.

everyone is in an uproar about this around here. i get its wrong, but man who cares what 50 cent is doning.

knew some people who went down and got pictures and bottles signed
 
50 Cent donates $100k to autism charity after coming under fire for mocking disabled teen.

50 Cent has donated $100,000 to an autism charity after he was criticised for mocking an autistic teenager.

Earlier this week the rapper posted a video of him insulting the airport worker, 19, and accused him of being high.

"I want to turn this misunderstanding into an understanding," he said in a statement to Billboard shortly after it was reported his premier vodka brand was being boycotted at local bars in Cincinnati - where the 19-year-old worked.

"There are people that are ignored, mistreated and neglected with disabilities that need our support. Today, I have made a donation of $100,000 to this worthy cause through Autism Speaks," he continued.
