50 Cent Reacts to JAY-Z Being Sued for Alleged Rape of Minor
50 Cent has weighed in on the ongoing scandal surrounding JAY-Z, who is being sued by a woman claiming he raped her when she was 19 years old. The alleged incident occurred in 1995, when JAY-Z was 27 years old.
The woman, who is now in her 40s, is seeking millions of dollars in damages, saying that JAY-Z promised her a recording contract and other perks in exchange for her silence about the alleged rape. JAY-Z has denied the allegations, calling them “false and fabricated.”
50 Cent, a longtime friend and collaborator of JAY-Z’s, has taken to social media to express his support for the embattled rapper. “I’m not saying he’s innocent or guilty, I’m just saying that I believe in due process,” he wrote. “Let the legal system play out and let the truth come to the surface.”
However, many fans have taken issue with 50 Cent’s response, accusing him of being insensitive and dismissive of the alleged victim’s experiences. “This is not about being innocent or guilty, this is about believing survivors and supporting those who have been silenced and marginalized,” one fan wrote in response to 50 Cent’s post. “It’s time for accountability and justice, not defense of powerful men’s reputations.”
