Social media would not be the same without 50 Cent, as reggae music would not be the same without Bob Marley.
Recently, G-Unit rap honcho 50 Cent posted a picture of himself resembling Reggae icon Bob Marley on his very entertaining Instagram page and wrote on the caption“No women no cry, No women no cry. LOL.”
Clearly, the photo is photoshopped and meant as a joke, but some fans of Bob Marley thought that it’s disrespectful. Several of his celebrity friends commented on the post including Lala Anthony who dropped some laughing emojis.
Bob Marley‘s son, Rohan Marley, commented on the post saying, “You crazy bro.”
Some Reggae fans who follow the rapper weren’t amused. “You have some Jamaican blood in you, so for that, at least use WOMAN (Women is plural – a problem Americans seem to have with differentiating chronically) properly, and leave Bob Marley (The Legend) out of the trolling… Thanks in Advance,” one fan wrote.
Another fan added, “Omg the disrespect. Mr. Marley would’ve never said or done the sh*t u have.” Other left more hilarious comments like this one that reads, “Look like you made a woman cry in this picture.”
According to Urban Islandz, 50 Cent was previously got called out for posting a dancehall video that went viral. He shared a video showcasing a man and woman dancing at a street dance in Jamaica. The pair climbed a tree and was in there dancing and gyrating. While this type of dancing is not uncommon in dancehall session these days, 50 Cent posted it on his Instagram page saying, “Jamaican people are different, he put the b**ch in the tree. LOL, what the f**k.”
The ‘Power’ executive producer is known to be petty on social media and has picked fights with the likes of Boxer Floyd Mayweather, rapper Ja Rule, musician Bow Wow, music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, actress Vivica Fox and rapper Meek Mill as reported by The Sauce.
