Hurricane Chris has had a rollercoaster week. The rapper went viral for criticizing 50 Cent's Humor & Harmony Festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. He appreciated the love (and the money) 50 brought to the city, but lamented the fact that no local artists were involved. Hurricane Chris, for context, was born and raised in Shreveport. He labeled 50 Cent a "culture vulture" for his antics. He also took the G-Unit rapper to task for spending $500K on law enforcement during the four day festival. After a few days, though, the rapper had a change of heart.
Hurricane Chris clarified his feelings toward 50 Cent on August 22. He told KSLA News 12 that he has no personal issues with the G-Unit rapper, and felt like he'd been misunderstood. Calling someone "culture vulture" seems pretty pointed, but we digress. "It’s no hate," Hurricane Chris told the outlet. "It’s all love, but I must voice my opinion because I been here, and I been in Shreveport." The rapper went on to note that his negative comments toward 50 was a "big misunderstanding." He even said that he'd be willing to collaborate with the rapper at some point in the future.
Hurricane Chris Is Open To Collaborating With 50 Cent
The real issue Hurricane Chris had with the event was the lack of local exposure. He appreciated what 50 was doing for his hometown. He just felt like hometown artists should have been present. "[Shreveport does] have artists," the rapper told the outlet. "A lot of artists, more artists than that I can’t even name that would rock stages like that. It’s not about me." Hurricane Chris once again made sure that he was square with 50 following his viral remarks. "I definitely had no malice," he concluded. "It was just me wanting to see my community be respected... I was in one of those moods."
50 Cent didn't respond to Hurricane Chris' retraction, but he did respond to the rapper's initial disses. 50 responded exactly the way you would expect: memes and mockery. The G-Unit mastermind fired back at Hurricane Chris by dubbing him a one-hit wonder. "Oh no you not gonna play that one song you got," he wrote on his Instagram Story. "Bay Bay just went on stage wit Master P." In a separate IG Story, 50 Cent flat out called Chris wack. "Boy ya sh*t is wack," he wrote. "Ya sh*t gets no play in my ride." Hurricane Chris definitely picked a fight with the wrong guy. Hopefully 50 agrees to bury the hatchet.
