50 Cent is all about putting people on and this time it’s Mo’Nique, who he feels was blackballed in Hollywood.
He’s even gone as far as calling out heavy hitters like Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, who he says owe her an apology for their part in outcasting her in Hollywood.
50 went on his Instagram to share his thoughts about Mo’Nique by reposting an infographic video from HotNewHipHop that discusses his thoughts about the comedian’s situation.
“I’m sure Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry would not want to continue to allow their influence to damage @therealmoworldwide career and this has went on for way to long,” 50 wrote in the caption. “So now would be a great time to apologize because i’m gonna put her back on. 🤔GLG🚦GreenLighGang 🎯I don’t miss! #bransoncognac”
Last month, Mo’Nique appeared on Turnt Out with TS Madison back and during her interview, she talked about a past phone conversation she had with Perry where he allegedly apologized to her, Complex reported.
However, following the phone call, Perry declined meeting with Mo’Nique in person except under two circumstances: that they meet without her husband/manager in tow, and that she apologizes to him.
Mo’Nique also gave a breakdown of why she believes the beef between her and Perry has lasted this long.
“Oftentimes when it comes to a Black woman speaking up and speaking out, it goes unheard until she dies. Then once she dies, then we go back and say, ‘Well, she was right,’ and ‘let’s make a movie about it.’” she said at the time. “See, I can give you their names: Eartha Kitt. I can give you their names: Hazel Scott. I can give you their names: Fannie Lou Hamer. I can give you their names: Hattie McDaniel. All of those women took a stand, and all of those women left here heartbroken, unhealthy, looking at a community saying, ‘Y’all know I’m right, but why won’t anybody say anything?’”
Apparently, the issues between Mo’Nique, Winfrey, Perry, and Lee Daniels come from her refusal to promote the movie Precious during the film’s awards campaign.
Mo’Nique’s last role in film or television was in 2016.
