i remember this, it was around the Curtis era. 50 also put in his place by Louis Farrakhan. he basically called him a sellout, because how much shyt he took from Jimmy Iovine & Interscope. here's a website and a interview about 50 and why he was getting blackballed. i suggest people to read the full thing since it's pretty interesting and it will have you scratching your head about the stuff that's happening even today.
The Farrakhan and Master P factor
The Honorable Minister Farrakhan spoke out on the negative stereotypes portrayed by media for blacks on BET and specifically called out 50 Cent by claiming he was a good brother but he was being told to do and ran by devils at Interscope:
50 Cent, My brother is rich because he’s helping Satan to keep you where you are, He don’t know that, He’s a good person and high. He lived a rough life where he was shot 9 times, But the offer that he got, He must be doing something right for satan but something wrong for your people. He’s already made you rich but he’s planning to take something from you
Master P responded to 50 Cent’s poke shots in a very powerful letter:
There are four things that differentiate me from artists like Curtis Jackson. One, I can honestly admit that I was once part of the problem.
Two, I don’t want my son to grow up and be like me. I want him to be better and do better – and that is why he is taking the time to pursue a college degree.
Three, money don’t make me, I make money. My goal is to educate our people in building generational wealth and knowing how important it is to own real estate.
Four, I’m a TRUE entrepreneur; my boss is God not Jimmy Iovine. From one brother to another, if you misunderstand my purpose you could always pick up the phone or talk to me in person. I’m trying to be part of the solution not the problem. The media thrive on entertaining, especially the negativity no matter what the cost. I’m praying for the brothers that are lost out there.
Master P’s letter and intelligence got the best of 50 Cent. 50 when he was hosting Rap City for the week promoting his Curtis album invited P to the show and two of the brothers talked everything out. Alot of the things P was saying was truthful and at times made it like he was actually SCHOOLING 50. 50 humbled himself and shook Master P’s hand afterwards.
Is the Industry blackballing 50 Cent?
