Many hip-hop devotees believe
that talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has beef for hip-hop but it’s the likes of
Ice Cube, Ludacris and 50 Cent that has come out in the open to express their
profound displeasure at her perceived detest for the culture. Of the three
hip-hop heavyweights mentioned, 50 Cent is the most vocal. No wonder it’s an
instant headliner when he decided to feature on the next episode of
Oprah's Next Chapter.
Three (3) years ago in the heat of
their strained relationship 50 cent stated openly in an Associate Press
interview that Oprah
"Caters to older white women...Oprah's audience is my audience's parent. So I could care less about Oprah or her show"
And to worsen the situation
50 cent named his dog Oprah Winfree (a corruption of Winfrey) and set up a
twitter account for the dog. When he was asked by Sheri Shepherd on The View
why he named his dog Oprah, 50 said
“i thought Oprah didn’t like hip-hop culture. Then I got a dog, and now I love Oprah (the dog)"
After years of scornful
remarks targeted at O, 50 Cent and Oprah Winfrey will publicly squash their
beef and put to an end their rumoured feud. Sunday night on OWN (Oprah Winfrey
Network) the two will be sitting together in 50 Cent's grandmother's house.
