AceShowbiz - 50 Cent has continued to weigh in on one of today's hot topics. The rapper-turned-film producer has reacted after a man, who recently attacked Dave Chappelle, evaded a felony charge for the assault.
Taking to his Instagram account on Thursday, May 5, Fiddy posted a screenshot of an article about L.A. District Attorney's decision. In the caption, he expressed his fear that the worst would come as he wrote, "oh S**t, is the LGBTQ gonna kill dave right in front of us ? he had a weapon a gun, knife how he or she don't get charged?"
"The world is over, Fvck this," the 46-year-old went on ranting. He also predicted the DaBaby would not escape felony charges like Dave attacker did, adding, "@dababy they would have charged you're a** for thinking about doing that. LOL."
DaBaby caught wind of 50 Cent's comment and he agreed. "They woulda gave my a** 100 years," the "Rockstar" hitmaker replied. Fellow rapper Royce Da 5'9 also thinks the attacker should've faced harsher consequence for his action, writing, "Fax… This is bulls**t."
The Los Angeles District Attorney's office announced on Thursday that it would not file a felony charge against 23-year-old Isaiah Lee, who jumped onstage and lunged at Dave during his show at Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, May 4. He, instead, is facing multiple misdemeanor charges for battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance, and commission of an act that delays the event or interferes with the performer.
"After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct," a spokesperson for the department said. "The District Attorney's Office does not prosecute misdemeanor crimes within the city of Los Angeles."
Prior to this, 50 Cent reacted to the attack by mocking the attacker. Sharing a photo of the man, who was battered with his arm mangled on a stretcher, he captioned it, "[Eyeball emojis] look at this fools head, LOL I bet that's the last time he gonna try to run on stage. wonder what the LGBTQ community is gonna say about this? This is not a good look."
