50 CENT TRIES TO CLOWN SAMUEL JACKSON

50 Cent has built a fortune by thriving on controversy so it should come as no suprise that the rapper recently took a shot at Samuel L. Jackson. The actor has publicly spoken out about rappers attempting to crossover to film without paying dues and he turned down a role in 50 Cent’s forthcoming feature film, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

This week, 50 Cent, who is not one to hold his tongue, took a shot at the actor. He told New York’s Daily News, “I don’t even see where Samuel fits into my life story anyway, unless he plays one of the crackheads. He was a crackhead originally, right? So I come from being a rapper, and he comes from being a crackhead.”

50 Cent was referring to Samuel Jackson’s portrayal of Gator the crackhead in Spike Lee’s 1991 film, Jungle Fever.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ hits theaters on November 9th. The film, which is loosely based on 50 Cent’s real-life experiences, was written by Terence Winter and the cast includes: Bill Duke, Terrence Dashon Howard, Walter Alza, and Viola Davis. It hits theaters on November 9th.
