He's a rapper.

Rappers = Jackasses.

50 cent is one of the most ignorant people on this planet. Oprah has done more for the black community than he will ever do. 50 cent has lost his integrity in the rap community and now when he disses someone its not taken seriously because his words have lost whatever small power they might have held. I find it particularly funny that he criticizes Oprah for “catering to middle-aged white American women” because it’s those womens' children who more often than not buy his CD’s. C’mon 50 be honest with yourself, this is nothing more than a publicity ploy for your dead career, way to be original…wait just like everything else you copy this time it's from Ice Cube and Ludacris.

Let’s not diss all rappers here, there are some good ones left in the rotten bunch.

This has no racial overtones? :) It just gets a pass. If the races were reversed and a white man said this about a white woman, oh the Kramer sparks would fly. Like I have said before, some people just don't like people who are different than them. They always have.

Well, all I ever see in her audience is white women. Everytime she gives away big prizes, like when she randomly gave away cars. The camera zooms in on the audience and they were all white women, again. And every year her"Best Of" items are very expensive!! who pays over $100 for a pair of flannel p.j.s??? I think Oprah is out of touch with America when it comes to affordablity for her viewers. I love Oprah's show, but I TIVO it because there are too many sponsor commercials. She is very wealthy and that does appeal to richer women, whether white or black.

If it wasn't for "white boys" buying his albums he won't be successful and popular at all.

Define how Oprah can become more 'black'. Should she go around speaking loudly or calling others 'niggas'?

Also, when it comes to any business you have to appeal to the majority.

That's a good point, how are blacks supposed to act?

Absolutely, but for me 50 has zero talent on every level, sure he made a good businessman, but he's a disaster for hip-hop and the music industry, this guy's the MC Hammer of this generation, while oprah will continue to help people's lives for years to come, while 50 will become VH1's where are they now.

50 Cent and Oprah are both talentless hacks who wouldn't be anything had they been born a different color. Someone had to say it.

How come can 50 make a racist comment and not get flogged all over the place when a white person would be torn to shreads. There's a Chris Rock bit where he mentions the most racist people he's met were black. I believe it.

It's a good thing I'll never become a celebrity. While I don't believe I'm racist, I know many of my views and opinions can be twisted to make them appear that I am. I have no opinion on Oprah, but, 50's nothing more than trailer trash.

How can he criticize Oprah of trying to appeal to white women when he made this statement in ELLE MAGAZINE of all places? Furthermore, why is Elle even talking to him?

"this guy's the MC Hammer of this generation"

I disagree. For all the stupid things he's done, at least Hammer isn't a douchebag.

Quite frankly, no one cares what the uneducated 50 Cent thinks - the guy does not have any credibility and does not even use his real name. Oprah is an accomplished woman with a college degree, and has worked hard to become a respectable leader.

50 Cents is a pathetic PUNK, a poster child for ignorance. He wants Oprah to promote his music, he disrespects all women and the black race. Oprah is a 50+ year old woman, why would she be interested in that crap he's spreading.

I'm so tired of his ignorant a$$ type trying to promote so called blackness, his kind has never represented the black families, friends or co-workers, me or my friends know. Every group has some type dumba$$ they wish they didn't "white trash", "black trash" just plain trash with money and some jackass printing their ignorance.

50 cents reeks and every race has an idiot with money who has to speak out and say stupid stuff. Mel Gibson & Michael Richards has promoted race relations(ha!) so add this ignorant a$$ to that bunch and call it day.

The media should attack his statements as they have attacked Mel & Michael R., but if they did they would be giving him more attention which he doesn't need. Put his dumba$$ on IGNORE! What a PUNK MOVE...he's got beef with a 50+ year old woman. PATHETIC!

Who give a crap what color they are? That, my friends, is the root of continued racism in this country.

This Was A Very Bias Article. It's Hilarious And I Guffaw At The Comments. We Are All Predjudice And Think Our Race Is Better Than The Next. We All Know What Is Considered To Be "White" And "Black" Characteristics So You Know What People Mean By That. It's Called STEREOTYPES. To All The People Who Are Dissing 50 You All Are Being Just Like Him. He Was Only Speaking His Mind And Retaliating For The Things That Oprah Has Said About Rappers. I'm Not Taking Sides Here, But When You Disrespect One Link In Rap, You're Disrespecting Them All. Being An Oreo Can Be A Good Thing. 50 Is Making His Money, Oprah Is Making Hers. Yall Dont Have Anything To Do With It. I Bet None Of U Would Talk About 50 To His Face Like Yall Are Doing Now. That's On Some Real Talk. Yall All Taking Up For Oprah. I Want To Know Though. What Has Oprah Done For You?
Hate On Me. Waist Your Time.

Ophra caters to her audience. She is 50+ years old. His statements are disrespectful to a woman of her age. The average Black mid-age mother would smack him for saying something like that in public. Baby-boomers as a whole prefer music over Rap. Business is business and the real world is this: Middle-aged women, of any color does not have a ringtone feat. 50 cent, does not have a CD of his in their collection, cares little about his childish ramblings of bling, sex and violence. They want to talk about what matters to them...period. That is a fact of baby-boomers. They are not part of the BET lost generation. 50 cent is young, very young...reminds me of the 8th grade. Childsih ramblings.

The comment made by 50 cents about Oprah, is no different than Tom Cruise's judgemental and unqualified comments about Brooke Shields' medication for treatment of post-partum depression.
These are nothing more than personal "OPINIONS". We all have the right to express our opinions, whether a % agree, disagree, or chose not to have an opinion or reaction to comments by others.
Opinions don't have to be backed by observations, statistical data and anaylsis or any such thing, and are often made without complete fairness, the personal perceptions, experiences or the lack thereof, heresay, or less. Whether the person(s) making comments is education-challenged from dropping out, all the way to being a PhD, or any member of any the ethnic groups that make up our "Human Race", no one is any more accurate than the other necessarily, and being 'Dissed by an opinion, do I beleive Oprah feels DISREPECTED?
Nein!

I think 50 is a smart dude. He talks a lil too much but he is a real dude. i think he needs to study his opponent before he attacks him though. all in all you cant deny that this nigga is real. he dont care what his opinion might do to his career. he speaks the truth. where other rappers might choke becuz they feel another rapper has more seniority he dont give a fuck. if the niggas a bitch he's a bitch whether he's nas jay-z or anybody else. a real nigga speaks his mind whether he like u or dont.
