50 Cent has attempted to clarify controversial comments he made about black women last month.

In July, the rapper appeared on Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio, where he said black women “get mad, they get angry” when black men have relationships with women of different ethnicities.

“You see a lot of sisters and they be like, ‘Oh you f***ing with this kind of girl?’” he said. “That s*** is exotic! This s*** look different from what you see in the hood every day.”

In a new interview with Haute Living, he tried to explain himself. “What I said exactly was: ‘When the person is from somewhere other than what you’ve experienced, the communication is a little different because they come from different walks of life,’” said the artist.

“And when I said that, [people said], ‘You don’t think black girls are exotic.’ And I said, ‘They be angry when they see a black man with someone else other than African-American women in general.”

While the rapper has refused to apologise for these comments, he did recently issue an apology to Megan Thee Stallion for joking about her shooting.

This week, Megan shared a graphic picture of her gunshot wound on social media after trolls accused her of lying about being shot.
