Comedian Andrew Schultz has been on the chopping block lately since making a “joke” about sexually assaulting Kendrick Lamar. On the Dec. 15 episode of Andrew Schulz’s show “Flagrant,” 50 Cent got his turn to confront the controversial host about it all.
For context, Schulz apparently took personal offense to Lamar rapping “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman that’s law” on his “GNx” song “wacced out murals” and made the remark about assaulting the rapper if the two ever shared a prison cell.
Fif wanted to get to the bottom of the comment. “I’m a fan [of your work],” the artist said at the beginning of the episode, “But I don’t understand what got into you that made you say you was going to f**k Kendrick?”
In response, Schulz attempted to make another joke. “Whoa, whoa, I said make sweet love,” he said with a laugh. This prompted 50 Cent to take his lead and continue to the charade.
“I apologize guys,” 50 Cent sarcastically replied. “This is from years and years of trauma, this comes from abuse from the neighborhood I grew up in. This comes from a lot of different things. ‘Make sweet love,’ I heard ‘f**k’ when you said it. I don’t know why I registered it that way. And look, for people to write petitions behind it is crazy.”
50 Cent went on to say he loves comedians because they are seemingly invincible to condemnation.
“When I watch them, I look and I go, ‘There’s no point that you could do something that actually damages what they developed,’” he explained. “Katt Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that is his height and not do so well, right? But he’s still Katt Williams! It does no damage to Katt Williams, he’s still that guy.”
Even though 50 sided with Schulz, the comedian’s initial comments drew ire from the likes of Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence “Punch” Henderson, Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Meek Mill.
