In a surprising turn of events, rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent, also known as FY, has publicly offered his support to Taraji P. Henson after she revealed her struggles with low pay in Oprah Winfrey’s new production of “The Color Purple.”

50 Cent took to Instagram to express his readiness to work with Henson and encouraged her to join his production crew, signaling a potential collaboration that has fans buzzing.

Henson recently made headlines when she disclosed that she almost walked away from “The Color Purple” due to inadequate compensation. This revelation has reignited the conversation around Oprah Winfrey and her alleged pattern of mistreating black entertainers, a topic that 50 Cent has been vocal about in the past.

50 Cent’s history of calling out Oprah dates back to the early 2000s when he sought to appear on her show to showcase his success. However, Oprah declined the opportunity, citing her disapproval of his music. This rejection marked the beginning of a public feud between the two, with 50 Cent deliberately becoming Oprah’s adversary.

The rapper, known for his candid nature, accused Oprah of sabotaging black entertainers while protecting her white connections, such as Harvey Weinstein. 50 Cent has criticized Oprah for her alleged bias against black artists who do not conform to her standards, and he has not shied away from expressing his disdain for her in various interviews.

50 Cent’s latest move to support Taraji P. Henson follows a pattern of him standing up for black entertainers who have faced challenges in the industry. Previously, he confronted Tyler Perry on behalf of Mo’Nique, who accused Oprah and Perry of blacklisting her. In a notable gesture, 50 Cent cast Mo’Nique in the second season of “Black Mafia Family,” a TV show produced by his G-Unit Films and Television.

Fans have praised 50 Cent for taking action and supporting fellow artists, especially in an industry where speaking out against powerful figures like Oprah is often considered taboo. The rapper’s willingness to offer opportunities to those who have faced adversity has earned him respect, with some fans hailing him as one of the genuine and authentic voices in Hollywood.

As the controversy surrounding Oprah Winfrey continues, 50 Cent’s public endorsement of Taraji P. Henson raises questions about the dynamics within the entertainment industry and whether more celebrities will speak out against perceived injustices. The saga between 50 Cent, Oprah Winfrey, and other black entertainers adds another layer to the ongoing discussions about representation, fair treatment, and accountability in Hollywood.
