The news about Shawn Kemp has earned a reaction from just about everyone, including 50 Cent. Following Kemp’s Wednesday night arrest and the footage that emerged afterward, the Internet erupted with opinions, memes, and general reactions. However, 50 Cent’s response to the arrest of Shawn Kemp was less humorous. The Power EP shared a headline surrounding Kemp’s felony arrest, urging people not to jump to conclusions. “I don’t know what’s going on here, but don’t judge this brother till all the facts come out,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram.
Fif’s post earned a few reactions from his peers in the rap world. Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment, shared a flurry of laughing emojis. “@50cent the NBA got some real shooters out there,” he wrote. Meanwhile, Fat Joe left five laughing emojis at the bottom of the page. Many fans also left comments comparing Kemp’s situation to Ja Morant, who the Grizzlies confirmed would be away from the team for at least four more games following his Instagram Live debacle.
Shawn Kemp Involved In Alleged Drive-By
Police booked Shawn Kemp on Wednesday afternoon around 2 p.m. after reports of gunfire at the Tacoma Mall. The former Sonics player was taken into the Pierce County jail on a felony drive-by charge and no bail has been set yet. Police said they responded to a call after gunshots were fired between the occupants of two different vehicles. They said one individual, who they initially described as a 53-year-old, fired shots at the other vehicle before the alleged victims fled the scene. Police also recovered a gun on the scene.
Around the time of his arrest, footage of the altercation emerged online. A man in a red jacket appears to be arguing with a man in the video.
