Rapper 50 Cent says heterosexual males like him are “the biggest target” of the cancel culture.
“If you say something about someone who chooses something different, there’s organizations set up to start sending things around to get signatures and stuff,” he said during a conversation with Variety. “And tell me this, as a heterosexual male, who’s going to send things around to get signatures based on your failures? There’s no one. There’s no organization.
“Certain demographics have been conditioned because they’ve been taken advantage of in the earliest stages. Once inferior, now they’re superior because we have no organization.”
Still, the 45-year-old said he doesn’t believe he can be cancelled.
“I’m an entertainer, so to entertain is, I believe, to provoke emotion,” he explained. “They gotta go to jail to get canceled, they gotta shoot a girl” – a reference to Canadian rapper Tory Lanez’s alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. “You gotta do something extremely bad to be cancelled, and I think it’s so unfair to the people that are cancelled.”
50 Cent, who hasn’t released a studio album since 2014’s Animal Ambition, has been focused in recent years on producing film and TV projects. He made his acting debut in the 2005 made-in-Toronto biopic Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
