50 Cent seems to collect controversies the way some collect coins. - The rapper-turned-actor, presumably with some time to kill before taking a flight out of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, decided to create a video in which he complained about the youth of today. In the video, he verbally accosted a recent high school graduate named Andrew Farrell, who works at the airport as a custodian.
The video contains strong language, so we’ve decided not to include it. You can view it here.
It opens with 50, donning a wide-brim cap and what appears to be several days’ stubble, talking directly directly into the camera.
“The new generation is crazy,” he says, ignoring the irony that he plans to share it on social media sites the “new generation” created. “They crazy.”
The rapper, also known as Curtis Jackson III, then approaches Farrell, who quietly pushes his custodial cart along the airport corridor.
“What’s your name?” 50 asks.
In response, Farrell shakes his head and continues to push the cart. He keeps his eyes trained straight ahead and looks uncomfortable. Regardless, 50 continues to follow Farrell, keeping the camera trained on him.
“Look at him … What kinda s— you think he took before he got to work today? He high as a … [obscenity] … right here in the airport, pupil dilated everything, lookin’ like.”
The entire time, as 50 moves the camera to capture a portrait of Farrell’s face, the young man shakes his head and tries to look away.
“The new generation is … [obscenity] …crazy,” 50 concludes as the video cuts off.
He then posted the video to Instagram on Sunday, apparently considering himself — the man who wrote “Gatman and Robbin’,” “My Gun Go Off” and “P.I.M.P.” — to be a cultural critic.
