50 Cent Blasted For Criticizing Autistic Teen [VIDEO]
Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson is making headlines, after he posted a video poking fun of a 19-year-old airport worker. Over the weekend, the controversial mogul, posted a clip of him commentating on Andrew Farrell, a janitor at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport, implying that he was high. So what’s the issue? Reportedly, Andrew is autistic and suffers from social anxiety.
See a clip.
50 has since taken down the clip. However, he may now face legal action. Reportedly, Andrew’s stepdad, Ken Kramer, has lawyered up and may take 50 to court. Ken says he will forget the legal action if 50 apologizes and donates $1 million to Andrew’s GoFundMe page.
Update #2. 50 has apologized, telling the NY Post:
It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community, which is a source of great strength in America. I have apologized personally to him and his family. While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man.
