50 Cent recently lay down his thoughts on the cancel culture – that is the internet obsession with running online campaigns of boycotting artists, based on multiple factors like – favoritism, past-comments, social or political standing, etc.
The rapper, who’s recently only been in news for his public statements, recently appeared for an interview on Variety and stated that he feels that heterosexual males are the biggest targets of the cancel culture, as they rest have now become ‘superior’.
Here’s what he had to say on the subject:
“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. 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. The biggest target is heterosexual males in general.”
He further stated that the ‘cancel culture’ needs to be limited to people who have done something really bad in their personal lives, instead of going after every other artist:
“I’m an entertainer, so to entertain is, I believe, to provoke emotion… I don’t believe I can be canceled. They gotta go to jail to get canceled, they gotta shoot a girl. You gotta do something extremely bad to be [fairly] canceled, and I think it’s so unfair to the people that are canceled [for reasons other than that].”
Okay, 50?
