It’s no secret that some rappers have a beef with Oprah Winfrey — they’re offended not to be asked to appear her show.
50 Cent has complained about her before, and in the July issue of Spin he goes after her again, claiming she’s out of touch with his audience.
“She doesn’t ever say anything that anybody from the ghetto is gonna ID with,” Fitty said, according to interview excerpts on mtv.com. “Take a poll. You go out and find me some young black women who ID with Oprah.”
Oprah has been relatively mum on the issue, though she has said she won’t support music that marginalizes women.
Fitty also told the mag that hip-hop gets blamed for more than it deserves. “I think it affects people a lot more to see a film where somebody realistically gets their head blown off than to listen to somebody rapping for three minutes.”
