Hey remember when Denzel Washington played Macbeth a REAL LIFE Scottish King and no one made a fuss about it? Why am I bringing this up? No particular reason
In 2004, at the peak of his fame off the back of Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent travelled to Iraq with his G-Unit crew to perform for American troops.
He flew into Camp Anaconda, a base so volatile it was nicknamed "Mortaritaville" because of the constant bombardment.
The base, also known as Logistics Support Area Anaconda near Balad, was one of the most frequently attacked US installations in the country, taking regular indirect fire from mortars and rockets.
Wearing a bulletproof vest and surrounded by military personnel, he delivered an energetic concert that lifted the spirits of the soldiers
By multiple accounts of the visit, an officer warned him before he went on, "You could die today," and he opened the set with "What Up Gangsta."
Did y’all know the case of Kendrick Johnson never got solved. 13 years ago, he fought a white classmate, and the father of the white boy was extremely mad because he lost the fight, and asked Kendrick to come over and fight him again. Kendrick refused. Soon after, Kendrick walked into the gym room of his school, and was attacked. They claim he fell into a gym mat and wasn’t able to free himself. And all the damage you see done in these pictures below, he done it to himself. The family wasn’t informed he was deceased till the next morning. And his body was took unauthorized, split open, organs took from his body, which is nowhere to be found till this day. They stuffed his body with newspaper like he was a garbage can, and closed him back up. The family had no idea until they had him checked again for their own investigation. They even went as far to cut his whole back open for no reason at all. He was tased, beat, choked and I’m sure manhandled by more than 2 people. #JusticeForKendrickJohnson #sayhisname
