I'm finally down with 50 Cent.
50 Cent jibe: 'Oprah's an Oreo'
December 1, 2006 - 11:59AM
Rapper 50 Cent has called TV presenter Oprah Winfrey an Oreo - an insult signifying that an African-American is only black for show and really white inside - in an incendiary, or at least mean-spirited, interview in Elle magazine.
Oprah "started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself", said 50 Cent, who was shot nine times as a street hood before becoming a gazillion-selling artist.
The rapper went on to say black women may look up to Oprah because she's a self-made billionaire, but her message is really aimed at "the demographic of white Americans" with whom she has "the same exact views".
Oprah, who's yet to respond, has been criticised in the past by 50 Cent, Ice Cube and other hip-hop artists for not hosting rappers on her show.
