Rapper 50 cent Lashes Out At The Media Over His Cancelled "40 Day"

First he blamed Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD, but now he's lashing out at the media. Queens rapper 50 Cent
is now blaming negative press coverage for the cancellation of his free concert
in Queens, New York.

After taking out the time and energy to plan this program, and propose it in a way that it would get approved, 50 was miffed at the medias' portrayal of his old neighborhood as well as himself.

"Mayor Bloomberg and the Governor spoke about it. and spoke positively about the event, because of my motivation and what my intentions were.

I went through the trouble of developing this... It’s been a nine-month period that I’ve been working on it. But it’s not interesting enough to promote positivity or to promote that someone’s actually attempting to give back to the community in that way.

So they promote the fact that I’ve been shot previously not far from where the location is, and they promote previous activity in that environment that has taken place to make it feel like something can happen. I think it slipped their mind that this is an event that was developed and based for kids."

"40 Day" was supposed to be a free carnival and concert for the children and parents of the neighborhood, but never made the light of day.

Despite the cancellation, 50 has stated that he will not let this small bump in the road deter him from helping out the youth in his old neighborhood, and hopes to do more community service projects in the future.

50's family day was supposed to take place on August 30th.
