50 Cent wants people to know he doesn’t hate gays, but he really hates “Empire.” The rapper’s rep tells TMZ that 50 shared a post about “Empire’s” declining ratings without reading homophobic comments attached to it. The comments said the Fox series about a fictional hip-hop music and entertainment company is losing viewers because of what commenters called the show’s “gay stuff.” 50’s rep says the rapper deleted the post after he saw the homophobic comments, which the rep says are “not a reflection of his views at all.”
50’s been upset with “Empire” for a while. He says the biggest reason is that it isn’t as good as his show, “Power.” Also, he’s not too happy about “Empire” taking a shot at him during the premiere episode of Season 2.
“And the beef goes on.”
