Rapper 50 Cent thinks Oprah is an Oreo

In the January issue of Elle magazine, rapper 50 Cent dissed Oprah Winfrey for losing her blackness and becoming more of a whitey in order to cater to a bunch of old white women at home eating bon-bons. He also disses Oprah for not having more rappers as guests on her show.

So, my first question is what the hell is 50 Cent doing in Elle magazine, a magazine that caters to the same audience that watches and loves Oprah. Unless, this is Elle's way of taking a jab at Winfrey, which I seriously hope not. Oprah appeals to all women of all ages, and to men as well. She's not perfect, but she is doing the best job in the media of promoting strong, inspirational, and smart images of people as they seek to grow, learn, and become better human beings.

Oprah came from a poor, abusive, background, and has become a self made billionaire. BILLIONAIRE! No one gave her that money. She worked hard for her fortune and fame, and I cannot think of a more inspirational role model. Her fame is a result of using her adversity as a way to inspire others to become better as a person. 50 cent uses his adversity as a way to sell more records, and merchandise by promoting his gangsta lifestyle as a cool way to live. I'm sorry, but what is inspirational about gang life?

How is 50 Cent a positive role model? He sings about Ho's and Pimps. Drugs. Gang violence. What is he doing to help kids in the poor black areas become better people? How is 50 Cent encouraging black women to be independent, strong, and talented? Where are the examples of him donating time and money to charities and causes related to helping those less fortunate? Until I see that, 50 Cent has no business attacking someone who has done so much to help so many others.
