50 Cent just weighed in on DaBaby's homophobic scandal and Lord help us

You know you’ve hit bottom when you’re ensnared in a homophobic PR nightmare and you’re being offered advice from 50 Cent.

In an interview with E!’s Nightly Pop, 50 Cent called embattled rapper DaBaby “a really talented, special artist” who is still figuring out how to be in the public eye after igniting a firestorm last month by making offensive comments about gay people and HIV/AIDS, followed by a non-apology, and then another apology that he later took back.

“He just transitioned from being in that pool that everyone’s in as a rap artist,” the 44-year-old, who endorsed Donald Trump in 2020, said. “They didn’t notify him that he’s turning into a superstar.”
