50 Cent tells Young Buck: ‘If you’re in a relationship with a tranny you’re gay’

50 Cent has prompted outrage by telling rapper Young Buck that being in a relationship with a transgender woman means he’s gay.

The “In Da Club” rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (March 27): “If your [sic] in a relationship with a tranny your [sic] gay. that’s a boy, Boy!!!

“It’s cool Buck you gonna be big down at the gay bars Give me a call,” added the rapper, who has more than 22 million followers on Instagram.

50 Cent has since deleted the post, which included a video of Young Buck—real name David Darnell Brown—allegedly talking to a woman about an article saying he had sex with a trans woman, saying: “take that s**t down.”

Young Buck used to be a member of 50 Cent’s hip-hop group G-Unit.

50 Cent criticised for Instagram post

50 Cent was condemned by many for his message about Young Buck.

One person tweeted: “50 cent’s recent transphobia will contribute to more black trans women suffering because the hate he spewed will be internalised and received by millions of black men.

“Who won’t ‘cancel’ 50 cent? black patriarchy. sexism, homophobia and transphobia will be defended by black men,” the person continued.

“In conclusion, f**k 50 cent. he should have been deplatformed a long time ago for all his sh**ty actions in the past but y’all won’t do the actual work to stop giving him power.”

“I look, feel, think, live my life as a woman. So tell me what’s Gay about that?? Smh.”
