50 Cent, Oprah End Longtime Feud with Candid Interview


Fans might remember that, at one point, 50 Cent had nothing but vile things to say about Oprah Winfrey. He'd even bought a dog he named Oprah, just so he could call her all kinds of names. Their feud is now officially over.

The Queen of Television was a guest in the home of Curtis Jackson's grandparents, where she got to meet the man behind the fierce person of 50 Cent and finally settle whatever differences they had in the past.

That part of the interview is below, embedded at the end of the article.

Oprah stresses that, while this is the first time they meet face to face, she always knew that Fiddy had it in it for her and that he would always be badmouthing her to the press.

As he puts it, he'd simply assumed she didn't like him so he made up the feud.

“I would see moments when you would discuss your feelings on the culture and everything that was wrong with the culture was what was on my CD, and I was like, 'Oh, she doesn't like me',” the rapper says.

Oprah has always been very outspoken about being against the use of the N- and B-words in rap music, because they promoted racism and misogyny.

“I was saying, 'If I can't be your friend, at least let me be your enemy, so I co-exist',” 50 Cent further explains.

As for why he once said that he didn't “care” about Oprah because her audience was made up of white women the same age as his grandmother, he was merely trying to point that Oprah was targeting a “conservative audience.”

Meanwhile, Oprah goes to great lengths to point out that she neither started nor encouraged the so-called “feud” because it was one-sided.

Later in the interview, she also quizzes Fiddy on using the N- and B-words in his songs, and he points out that it's all a matter of perspective: that is, whether it's an offense depends on who's saying it.

“When you're actually using it with malice in your heart, you can feel the difference. If it's being used by someone that you know isn't using it in a racial term, it doesn't impact the same. I just think you're identifying with how it originated and it should exist based on that (alone),” the rapper says of the N-word.
