You can always count on 50 Cent to spark up some controversy via social media.
50 Cent is once again taking the heat for his controversial joke. More than a week after Dwyane Wade confirmed that his child Zaya is a transgender, the rapper/actor made fun of the retired basketball player’s daughter with an R. Kelly meme.
On Sunday, the 44-year-old rap star and professional troll reposted a meme that imagines Dwyane’s conversation with the pissy singer after the athlete’s child Zaya came out as transgender. “Heard you had a daughter now,” says Kelly in a text bubble above his head. “U touch her I’ll kill ya,” responds Dwyane. Per usual, 50 saw the opportunity to make a joke out of the situation. “LOL NOW THIS SOME FUNNY SHIT,” he wrote in his caption.
But some others think his joke was tasteless. He received backlash from some of his 25 million Instagram followers who saw the joke as distasteful. “Actually not funny at all. That’s some bad taste in comedy,” wrote one commenter, while another added, “Son you’re outta pocket.” “Uhm besides the fact that Zaya was brave enough to identify herself, Dwayne also has a little baby girl! So this is wrong on all levels,” one explained why Fif’s post was disturbing.
Another simply wrote, “This not funny.” A third user blasted the “Power” co-creator/star for using the meme to promote his show and other business ventures. “Promoting your show through clown posting…..you’re a clown yourself,” the said person wrote.
“Really really I am not laughing at this. I refuse to laugh at this. No I will not laugh. You will not make me laugh. You think I am going to laugh. You really think I am going to laugh,” one remarked. Someone else disagreed with Fif as writing, “Actually its not funny at all.”
Another user got serious while addressing those who found the meme funny, “The fact that so many people think this post is funny is actually sickening..S**t like this is what drives KIDS into depression or even committing suicide.” The said person also attacked the rapper over his strained relationship with his eldest son Marquise Jackson, “50 your son doesn’t even like you which says a lot about your relationship with your child !!”
Take a look at some of the reactions to 50’s poor taste post below and let us know what you think? Did 50 cross the line?
