50 Cent Angers Gay Rights Group

Rapper posts ‘anti-gay’ message on Twitter in Perez Hilton feud...

50 Cent has angered the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) after he posted an anti-gay statement on Twitter.

The angry post was directed at gossip blogger Perez Hilton. Fiddy’s tweet read: "Perez Hilton calld me douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better." He attached a photo of two men in suits running from an angry mob.

GLAAD have urged their followers to tweet 50 Cent to tell him to apologise. Their message read: “Tell 50 Cent to let his fans know that anti-gay violence isn't something to joke about".

The rapper has since deleted the message and tweeted Perez: "Stop being so sensitive its a joke. Your acting like a big baby" and "my next song will make your sweet ass dance lol chill out".

But gay rights campaigners are seeking a public apology. "It's wrong to make jokes and promote violence against the gay community," said GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro. "Taking down the post is not enough. We wanted him to tell his Twitter followers that what he did was wrong."
