US Rapper 50 Cent chastised over video showing him ‘bullying’ airport janitor
Bullying is never fun as American rapper 50 Cent learned after netizens chastised him over a video showing him mocking a janitor at the Cincinnati Airport, Ohio, United States.
With the caption “The Walking Dead”, the famous African-American rapper snickered in the video, “What kind of s**t you think he took before he got to work today? He high as a motherf****r right here in the airport.” He scrutinized the janitor, who was pushing his cleaning supplies during that time, as a young man who was ‘high’ on drugs.
Despite the 40-year-old rapper’s tormenting rants, the janitor maintained his composure and serenity and ignored the ‘big bully’.
The cleaner happened to be Andre Farell, a 19-year old student with mild autism and ‘social difficulties’. The controversial video was later expunged from his social media accounts but reuploaded by a Youtube user, which has hit over a million views.
One Instagram user, who was a classmate of Farell, replied to 50 Cent,” I went to school with him…He has extreme social difficulties just to let you know. He has a hard enough time getting through life without jackasses like you making fun of him. I hope you feel good about yourself. You just lost a huge fan.”
Farrell was showered with heart-warming messages from social media users. According to local news site Cincinnati.com, Farell was thankful for the pouring support he received and is pondering on filing a lawsuit against 50 Cent.
