50 Cent is notorious for his relentless trolling—no one is off-limits, not even Tyler Perry, despite the G-Unit mogul’s past praise and public admiration for the media powerhouse.
Fif hopped on Instagram early Wednesday (June 18) to poke fun at Perry amid the filmmaker’s $260 million sexual harassment lawsuit, using a meme of comedian Katt Williams to make his point.
According to 50 Cent, Tyler Perry should be more concerned about what the comedian has to say about the lawsuit than the lawsuit itself.
“Tyler that case b####### don’t worry about that, worry about this [ninja] here!” 50 Cent wrote alongside an AI-generated image of Williams. “He gonna have a field day with this s###. LOL.”
The post came just hours after 50 Cent publicly defended Perry, sharing another AI image of the two together.
“Did that b#### just say what I think he said ?” he captioned the post. “Nah we ain’t jacking this s### gang! No Way.”
The playful jab didn’t come from a place of malice. The two moguls have long expressed mutual respect for each other. 50 Cent has praised Perry’s business savvy and even called him a mentor. After visiting Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, 50 Cent said he left “inspired” and credited Perry for helping him shape his own G-Unit Studios.
Tyler Perry Accused Of Harassment In $260 Million lawsuit
The legal trouble Perry faces stems from a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County by actor Derek Dixon, who claims Perry sexually harassed and assaulted him between 2019 and 2021 while working on the BET series The Oval.
Dixon alleges Perry used his influence to pressure him into a sexual relationship, offering raises and production deals in exchange for compliance and referring to him as his “pet.”
Dixon also claims he was warned not to speak to other cast members and was subjected to inappropriate texts and advances, including during a trip to the Bahamas.
Perry’s legal team has denied all accusations and labeled the lawsuit an extortion attempt. As of Tuesday (June 18), no criminal charges have been filed.
