rihanna and 50

Dig 50 using the Chrihanna tragedy as a means to secure more media attention:

On his Web site, Fif has made references to the pair’s recent, apparently violent incident in the “Pimpin’ Curly” series as well as in his Saturday morning animated disses to Rick Ross. He featured Ross as a cop and Chris and Rihanna as characters from the game “Street Fighter.” “Officer Ricky” eventually arrests Brown and tosses him in jail along with Suge Knight.

“I thought that was something you could use for humor, like any other comedian would utilize current events to put into their actual

, being humorous a little bit,” 50 explained while promoting his new video game, “50 Cent: Blood on the Sand,” which hit stores Tuesday. “I put [reference to the incident] in a ‘Pimpin’ Curly’ skit a little bit. From the perspective of the character, I mentioned it.”

50 says those comedic references were made prior to TMZ posting a photograph of a badly beaten Rihanna. He immediately changed his mind about making light of the situation.

“After I saw the photograph, that wasn’t funny anymore,” 50 said. “I didn’t have any information on it. You’re just going on what the public actually had. It shifts the whole thing. Even if you’re saying you’re in a dysfunctional relationship, I understand that. There’s a point when you’re already past a woman fighting you back. You look at [the picture], and it’s obviously past that point. There’s some issues there that definitely gotta be addressed. Not to take any shots at Chris or Rihanna or take sides in any way, [but] it’s really not cool. It’s not funny anymore, so there will definitely be no more reference to that from me in any way.”

WTF? Does this cat want a medal of valor or some sh*t? It shouldn’t have taken that picture of Rihanna to make him understand that domestic violence ain’t no joke. SMH.

    I strongly suggest a H ot place

    “”"Even if you’re saying you’re in a dysfunctional relationship, I understand that. There’s a point when you’re already past a woman fighting you back. You look at [the picture], and it’s obviously past that point. “”"

    Exactly 50!
    Oh God. I agreed with 50 Cent.

  • June Bug

    He’s a classic idiot! Thats why if you dont know what you’re talking about, you shouldnt be bumping dem gums!!!

  • DivaB

    I agree Bossip! It shouldn’t have took that photo for him to know this was serious! MY GOD!

    @Elizabeth

    LOL! I feel the same way…

    @Bossip
    He made a valid point, the same one that Ne-yo and all of them have been saying that you post on this site. Just cause it came from 50 you think he’s looking for brownie points?

  • 50′s Baby Momma

    He is such a cornball. I bet he can bite an apple through a white picket fence with those teeth.

  • Mr.727

    First! Who gives a shit really
    !

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re…I happen to like BattleStar Galactica

    And I think ALOT of people felt that actually visually seeing the evidence of Chris Brown’s attack made the situation that much more real…

  • ed

    wat a prick, i hate that coon. such an embarrasment. he needs his head kicked in.

  • riding 4 brezzy

    LMAO ..looking at the same picture everyone else is looking at …this hoe is not beat up she was slap around.. stop it 50 & all the other people.
    Sure he slap that gorilla(his baby mother)many times.(with her ghetto ass)

  • Music Lover

    It’s not funny? Neither is selling drugs, shooting people, or burning down a house to get your ex out of it. Everyone has an opinion. Twisted mf.

  • jb_1030

    So what celeb is going to come out next? Everyone has something to say. I am sure they all knew in that celeb circle, but now that it is out they all have something negative. I am ure they knew and probably were laughing in private but now want to speak out.

  • Uh huh…

    …but selling drugs to destroy entire community of weak and broken people is okay.

  • The Truth…….aka Sweet

    50 is an a**!

  • celia

    the pot calling the kettle black huh bossip? This blog site was making a joke out of it and even showing preferencial treatment to the alleged abuser to the point you were making up excuses for the man and you got the nerve to say some high and mighty shit. Bossip get off your imaginary pedestal, You got gutter all over you. At least fifty admitted he was wrong in his initial stance on the subject. I have yet to hear you say anything like that.

  • I don’t think so

    Lets see…Jay-Z is sending in his bodyguards even though he has publicly hit a woman who must have, in his opinion, gotten out of line. That video circulated forever on the Internet. Now, 50, sees that domestic violence is no joke. Okay, why do we care with a former drug dealer has to say about this mess? I mean was him getting shot 85 times not domestic violence. Is selling drugs okay too? The moral police he is not.

  • beady b

    bossip…
    get your english 2gether! wrong word 4 the headline fools!

  • Who cares

    I am still buying CBs music and praying for them both.

  • T

    Ugg-a-Mugg

    haha

  • http://none PrettyRosy

    Rihanna should go on Oprah and tell what happened. That would be just great.

  • Glad the photo was released

    Without the photo people woudlve continued to defend Chris etc. I understand the whole keep ya hands to ya’ self and all. But ubless that woman was about to cause him to drive off a cliff, had a gun to his head and about to pull the trigger, or put a knife in his heart. She did not ask or deserve a beat down like that.

  • Jade Hummingbyrd

    Bossip – for future reference, it’s Conscience. NOT Conscious. Is there an editor in chief or some shit like that? Why are these things never proof-read? Just like that other article where they imagined Rihanna’s Bajan family using JAMAICAN slang. Smh.

  • Webster’s Dictionary

    The word would be CONSCIENCE as in being conscious of his wrong-doing. lol

    I love CB! I love Rihanna!

  • beady b

    conscience!

  • kaylani

    Bossip please learn to spell…. CONSCIENCE not CONSCIOUS.. SMH i luv y’all but work it out before u lose credibility..

    I saw the line up for the CW and “The Game” has not been picked up for next season yet.

    For all of you that are fans of “The Game”, please go visit the CW’s website and leave your “feedback” (scroll to bottom of homepage and click “feedback”) to express that you want “The Game” to return next season.

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    @Re:

    Whazz crackalackin??? Good morning to ya!

    You’re right though. Once we all saw the pics it made it more real for us because we saw the actual damage to her face (so she and the media werent exaggerating on that part).

  • And…

    I wonder how many fights or beatings certain people have been in or taken to say things like “The photo isn’t wasn’t I expected.” or “She doesn’t look that bad.”

    What did they expect?
    Badder (worst) than what?

    I guess some of these sadistic people would have preferred an autopsy photo?

    Maybe that’s what they expected (wanted)…her to look beaten to death…

  • Rihanna is fine

    Rihanna is fine. Next subject please.

  • pm

    I see nothing wrong with what he said. He feels bad about the skit or whatever after seeing the pic.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re…I happen to like BattleStar Galactica

    @Dirty Harriet

    Hey girl! I’m assuming your a girl…And yes, it’s interesting that it took the photo for some people to get off the Chris Brown train, but with all the crap the media was putting out there about the story, people wanted the truth.

  • Becky

    Without the photo people woudlve continued to defend Chris etc. I understand the whole keep ya hands to ya’ self and all. But ubless that woman was about to cause him to drive off a cliff, had a gun to his head and about to pull the trigger, or put a knife in his heart. She did not ask or deserve a beat down like that.

    Amen to that… bossip pls let it go already damn… boycott bossip for the same as headline… all other sites have moved on..

  • Tealeaf

    I bet he has beaten a few women

  • Sydney

    “It shouldn’t have taken that picture of Rihanna to make him understand that domestic violence [is] no joke.”

    I agree.

    Fiddy has mush for brains, and it shouldn’t have taken a photo for him to realize the gravity of the situation and the issue of domestic violence itself.

    How moronic.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re…I happen to like BattleStar Galactica

    50 is a lot smarter than most would think. He did nothing but state the obvious…don’t forget all the comments under the post when Rihanna’s face was revealed! People said the same thing, “This photo made the situation real.”

  • Allison Mae

    Lol at Bossip’s 2nd grade education!!!!!

  • Adrienne

    Ok, I’m sorry, I am SOOOOOO dayum tired of hearing about Rhianna. It’s over, let it go. Damn.

  • Sydney

    @Re

    Certain people said that. Some folks already understood that it was serious matter, and it didn’t need to see a leaked photo for it to hit home.

  • deafjam04

    Just because it took the photo of Rhianna coming out for 50 to realize he shouldn’t make light of the situation doesn’t make him out to be a bad guy. Nobody realized the extent of her injuries until the photo was public. Good point made by 50 cent.

  • Sydney

    *they didn’t need to see a leaked photo*

    Off topic, I noted that the NAACP distributed a statement yesterday in regards to Rupert Murdoch’s remarks on the NY Post cartoon. I thought the cartoon was deplorable, humorless, and offensive, but there are far greater issues — such as the violence in our community, including incidents between partners — on which to focus, IMHO.

  • thepromised1

    Yeah I totally agree with him on it, it was funny to me at first because I looked at it as kids being irresponsible and disrespectful to each other…eventually she would find somebody who knows better and he would learn a better way. A lot of AA males went through that bcus it’s ingrained so deeply in urban/our culture but that picture brought a whole other level and reality to it. It was no longer kid ish with little innocent chris trying to control his girl by fighting her. I realized this lil fck beat this girl with intent to do damage. It didn’t look like it was much of a fight at all… just him beating her because dude didn’t have a mark on him. If I came home to my daughter or sis or hell even cousin looking like that… little chris would have big problems. What idiot would beat a famous singer like that and then leave the scene like he’s really going to get away with it. 50 one my respect with how he handled dumb ass Ross and his “he looked at me with fear” fraggle nackle bull. He’s smart… taking that curly thing and using it to create a comedic character that generates hits to his site was genius. Like him or not you gotta respect his battle/business steez bossip.

  • jb_1030

    The editor in chief at Bossip is none other that George Bush!!!

  • RE RE

    Only thing Rihanna photo made me relize was Chris didnt beat her azz like I hoped. There was no broken bones or horrific.

  • RE RE

    @ BOSSIP
    Why do you keep talking about Chris Brown and Rihanna there are other things going on in the world that’s real important like for instance did you know that the (GIRL SCOUTS COOKIE SALE IS CRUMBLING)?

  • hey..

    50 is still my dude! i dont care, he apologized at least–so shut up, stop making everything so negative

    Who is this nigga to talk when he burns down his baby mama crib and shit? LOL @ Fiddy

  • ShavonDenise

    Bossip yall dont cut a break for no one. He feels just like alot of people felt. We didnt know the circumstances and wasnt just believing TMZ like yall are and we needed evidence. When the pic came out it changes my opinion also because visible marks can be a scratch. They were fighting Ive seen it happen before and the girl flipped the script because she’s pissed. So when I saw the pic I realized it was unacceptable as well

  • Fal

    PLEASE, the only reason this is “serious” is because of the celebrities in question are hot right now. People are way to caught up in their own shallow emotions to really give a damn about what’s going on in someone else’s relationship like they are with this one.

  • Fal

    Lets see…Jay-Z is sending in his bodyguards even though he has publicly hit a woman who must have, in his opinion, gotten out of line. That video circulated forever on the Internet.

Is selling drugs okay too? The moral police he is not.

  • Be

    When did 50 cent become a comedian? Why does he have his own website except to make fun of people? Did he think Rhianna getting hit with no evidence would be fine?

    I see nothing wrong with what he said he seemed to have a heart but he needs to go sit down and fix his own life.

    I agree with 50, I was a 50 Cent fan until I saw that “funny” video he made with Chris and Rih fighting. I kinda forgive you 50! He made a good point in what he said.

    BREAKING NEWS: Rihanna and Chris Brown are back together!

  • I use to love Bossip

    1. The girl that Jay-Z was playing with in the video was an employee who had a high position at the Roc. They were playing around. Know the facts!

    2. I agree totally with Celia and L_Nana. Bossip writers are a bunch of hypocritical, ignorant (hate to use this word)haters. I am starting to come here less and less. Bossip is like an exclusive weekly party that goes downhill once every1 finds out about it. It use to be my fav but now it isn’t worth going to anymore.

  • Sydney

    @Snoop

    The cinematography in Slumdog is mesmerizing, but the I found the depiction of povery and of child exploitation to be very troubling and depressing. I left the theater a little in the dumps.

    I really liked The Reader, Revolutionary Road, and Milk.

    Back to the subject of the thread, a black woman political consultant and commentator, Jehmu Greene, has a very interesting commentary, “Brown v. Monkey,” posted on The Huffington Post, thehuffingtonpost.com. Excerpt below:

    “A political cartoon is misinterpreted and African American organizations and their talking heads immediately see an opportunity to make noise. Meanwhile, a famous black woman is beat down by her equally famous black boyfriend and commentary in the black community centers around, “What did she do to cause it?” Why are some African Americans so cowardly when it comes to addressing black-on-black violence? There is no end to the activists’ displays of outrage when racism is perceived. Yet, the silence is deafening, drowned out only by the hypocrisy and ignorance when the perpetrator is black.

    Rupert Murdoch may be public enemy number one for the progressive community, but he and his posse at the New York Post are not sanctioning the abuse and killing of black women. The beating Rihanna experienced at the hands of Chris Brown was tragic, but definitely not uncommon. The leading cause of death for African American women ages 15 to 45 is intimate partner homicide. Yes, black men are killing young black women in such high numbers it beats out accidents and every illness you can imagine. Where is the outrage? Where is the boycott? Where is the speech? I have never received a call to action email on behalf of black women affected by domestic abuse – at a rate 35% higher than our white counterparts.”

  • Sydney

    @Be

    I do agree with her overall point that the problem of violence and its daily effects far outweigh the impact of that offensive political cartoon. In the grand scheme of things, which has more impact?

    More from her:

    “It is time for the black community to adopt a zero tolerance policy against domestic abuse. Bottom-line, what Chris Brown did to Rihanna was a teachable moment – an opportunity for the black community to coalesce and show the world we are taking action to address a pressing issue affecting us all.”

  • Sydney

    @Be

    You make a good point, and I think that is a cause for black women activists and groups to take up because, frankly, I can’t see any of the individuals she named taking up the issue on any serious, in-depth level.

    But I do wonder why more attention isn’t paid by some of the groups that represent us on the issues that affect more of us on a daily basis. Yes, I was offended by the political cartoon, but wouldn’t some of this national outrage be better spent on other issues?

    @Snoop

    Well, March 5 is next week, so we’ll know more soon enough, but we have to discuss this issue more in our community, and the stats bear that out.

    @Be

    Personally, I don’t like the term “black on black crime,” and, yes, the issue of domestic violence certainly affects all races and cultures.

    Personally, I was referring more broadly beyond domestic violence to addressing violence in general, including the high rate of homicide that is taking the lives of black men. I haven’t seen any comprehensive address of the disturbing incidence of gun violence in cities across the country and other issues that have touched the lives of people every day.

    As far as domestic violence is concerned, every article/report I’ve read indicates that black women, for a variety of issues, are more heavily impacted than women of other races. The numbers are high for black male victims as well.

    And there is a cultural undertone that she touched upon that is noticeable in the black community when it comes to issues of this nature.

    Maybe, but if that were the case wouldn’t she be able to “comment” on this as an issue unto itself without having to mention the black communities response to the racist cartoon?

    I watched her interview on MSNBC, and she said she was taken aback by the muted response from prominent blacks on the Chris-Rihanna incident, compared to the monkey cartoon.

    Have you seen the stats on DV? What do you mean that black women aren’t “conditioned” to accept this sort of treatment? Are they fighting back their abusers? Are they leaving (because the stats show that financial constraints are a primary reason why sisters stay in abusive relationships/marriages)?

    A “muted” response to something that neither party has specifically stated EXACTLY what happened, AND no formal charges have been pressed.

    The blacks outrage to a racist cartoon, implying the President of the United States no less, was and is a valid response. The mentioning of this “outrage” on a commentary, allegedly, concerning DV is inexplicable.

    Can’t blacks be outraged at more than one issue at a time? Is there a required time frame to express “outrage” at something?

    Yes, I realize the issues with DV for blacks, and black women in particular. However, again, I doubt this issue is any more prevalent to other races. Why not call out all races on this issue?

    So many questions…

  • Sydney

    @Man

    Her point was there was very little outrage expressed at all on this issue. Excerpt below:

    “When the Chris Brown incident became public where was the cry for attention to this issue by the megaphoniacs? The only commentary posted on CNN.com was written by Leslie Steiner, while one of the most prominent black CNN contributors was ranting about Valentine’s Day. Michael Basden had an ‘enlightening’ exchange on his radio show about if they should even be discussing the incident. If? Really, Michael? Would he ask that question if a white cop beat up a black boy? Absolutely not. Some will say it is not fair to compare the monkey cartoon to the “Chrianna” event or police brutality to domestic abuse. It is about priorities, people. It is time to stop hiding our dirty laundry in the closet or making excuses for it. Black-on-black violence is decimating our communities and has been for quite some time. An apology from the New York Post is not going to save the life of any black person.”

    Yes, blacks can be outraged by more than one issue at a time, but they have to get outraged first and be moved to action.

    And what exactly did you mean by this statement?

    “Culturally speaking black women aren’t conditioned to accept this sort of treatment.”

    I understood her point, just disagreed with her method of getting it across. First off by trying to “shame” the black community by implying that DV isn’t taken seriously and by insuating that the black community shouldn’t be outraged by racist propaganda sold to the masses.

    The statement about black women is two fold. You have stated yourself that DV is linked to income. On average black women out earn their male counterparts. Further, black women are more likely to report DV than other women in various studies and therefore the numbers are inflated. That isn’t to say black women are “invincible” or anything of the like.

    That stat goes out the door if you’re a woman struggling in poverty — even more pronounced if you have children. Also, finances are just one factor that some DV victims face — There are upwardly mobile sisters who are also in abusive relationships/marriages.

    Isnt it interesting anytime there is a black and white issue they (white folks) always go out and find some random black person to talk sideways and co-sign?

    Why is she subverting the issue? She is going to great lengths to connect Chris Brown to a polical cartoon in the paper.

    No matter what the stats are on DV or what Chris and Rihanna did, the fact remains some person wrote that cartoon for that paper and thought it was okay to to publish it. Thats the issue.

    Which Rihanna post is that? The one about her alleged pregnancy?

  • c from stl

    @Sydney

    Yeah, but the fighting isn’t over the topic of the thread…it’s between Mock Rock Star and Z over some crazy ish….lol

  • Sydney

    @c from stl

    Say what? lol

    I’m going to check this out. The drama never ends around here, lol.

  • c from stl

    @Sydney

    I swear Bossip needs to start a chat room for all the crazy conversations people have on here…

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    @SYDNEY
    “LOL @ Man

    “Ima try to find something on that statement about reporting incidents and stuff. A few years ago I worked right next to a battered women’s shelter. They would pass out literature and it had some statistics and I recall black women surveyed were more likely to press charges and etc.”

    I’ll probably look into this more myself because I would think the opposite would be the case, given some existing issues, such as a distrust of the police, fear that the abuser will exact revenge, etc.”
    _____________________________________________________________

    Yeah, look into it but I was thinking the same thing. That numbers would be lower for blacks. But when you look at the methodology for abusers it doesn’t stand up too well against blacks. Not just the money issue, but also the attempt to isolate women from family and friends isn’t likely to be accomplished.

    Let me know what you find.

  • Sydney

    LMAO!

    What in tarnation is going on in that thread?!?

    @Man

    OK, I will. I wanted you to help me, though, since that’s your citation, lol.

  • c from stl

    yeah, sometimes it gets really ridiculous…

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    @SYDNEY
    Ok, I’ll see what I find.

  • Sydney

    @c from stl

    All the talk show hosts appeared out of nowhere. Is that one person doing that?

    And this impostoring lunacy is out of control. I can’t tell who’s who.

  • ladyarchitect

    Good Afternoon people

  • c from stl

    @lady architect

    Good afternoon to you :)

    @Sydney

    I do think that’s the same person under those talk show host names…and someone made the comment that it’s not actually the real Z posting those comments…but, it got really messy when mock rock star posted Z’s phone number up…lol

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    _____________________________________________________________

    The talk show hosts are two different people. No, that is NOT the “real Z.”

    but I think she is about to come in there… LOL. We’ll see.

  • Be

    @Syd – yeah that was one person doing all the talk show hosts they had the same properties.

  • Be

    Hey Lady A

    Yeah I dont think that was Z because she might have posted Mock’s telephone number. that person did not know Mock’s number

  • Sydney

    Hello Lady Architect :)

    I’m so confused. . .

    So the real Z is in the thread? Is that the real Mock? Are people posting each other’s phone numbers?

    Mon dieu!

  • ladyarchitect

    oh goodness this again? Someone is being an imposter?

  • DeeFav

    Conscious, Bossip?!

    Really?!?!

    Educated much?

  • The Third Eye

    Why is 50 still hear?! I think he should be on the road to irrelevancy.

  • Inner Beauty Movement

    I usually rag on Curtis Jackson, but he’s right. I agree with his sentiments and I’m aroused by his intellectual side. I’M TRIPPING!

  • Humphiesal ‘Skeeter’ Blackwell

    Serious comment:

    Please take a close look at the TMZ pic.

    Rihanna’s facial injuries appear to be very evenly spaced. The 2 forehead bruises, swollen eyes, and even the cuts stemming from the crease at her lips, are all very symmetrical.

    Are these airbag induced facial injuries? Or did CB strike her in the face with an object which would cause such symmetrical bruising?

    I’m not saying that CB didn’t strike her; however, random punches leave a more random injury pattern.

    What say you?

  • Megan

    Every time I log in to the celebrity dating club ____MillionaireLoving. C O M____, many new topics discussing about her.

  • Jane Doe

    50 is a fool cuz it was never a joke in the first place.

  • LAST DIME…

    WITH ALL THIS SPIN AN THESE STORIES I THINK BILL O’REILLY OWNS BOSSIP

  • LovelyLisa

    Aww, 50 cent was dumb for that, but I don’t think he’s that unfortunate looking. There are a lot worse (Jay-Z, hello?)

  • lanette

    BOSSIP is soo full of it.

    Talking ’bout the pot calling the kettle black…

  • Vps221

    the cartoon was stupid. You dont make fun of a situation like that. Grow the f up. Especially as another celebrity you should have more common sense. If someone makes refernce to him or his baby moms (Rick Ross) then he’s waging an all out beef with them. Dont be a f’n hypocrite man

    I saw the line up for the CW and “The Game” has not been picked up for next season yet.

    For all of you that are fans of “The Game”, please go visit the CW’s website and leave your “feedback” (scroll to bottom of homepage and click “feedback”) to express that you want “The Game” to return next season.
    _________________________________________________
    The CW don’t give a damn about putting more people of color on tv! They want to ne the network for Pretty Young Rich White Kids With Problems. That’s why they recycled that corny ass 90210 and they’re doing the same shit with that weak ass Melrose Place. See if they put any people of color on that show!

  • Slim

    it’s “conscience,” not “conscious”..

  • blaq

    Marquis de Sade (2 June 1740 – 2 December 1814) (French pronunciation: [maʁki də sad]) was a French aristocrat, revolutionary and novelist. His novels were philosophical and sadomasochistic, exploring such controversial subjects as rape, bestiality and necrophilia. He was a proponent of extreme freedom (or at least licentiousness), unrestrained by morality, religion or law, with the pursuit of personal pleasure being the highest principle.
    Sade was incarcerated in various prisons and in an insane asylum for about 32 years of his life; eleven years in Paris (10 of which were spent in the Bastille) a month in Conciergerie, 2 years in a fortress, a year in Madelonnettes, 3 years in Bicêtre, a year in Sainte-Pélagie, and 13 years in the Charenton insane asylum. Much of his writing was done during his imprisonment. The term “sadism” (IPA: /ˈseɪdɪzm/) is derived from his name.
