*Looks like Fiddy Cent is finding out that he’s not the jokester he thinks he is. Folks just aren’t laughing at his so-called joke about Dwyane Wade‘s transgender daughter, Zaya.
Sunday he shared a meme that featured an image of Wade and R. Kelly during New York Fashion Week in 2016.
A talk bubble above Kelly reads, “Heard you had a daughter now,” while one above the former NBA star reads, “U touch her I’ll kill ya.”
“LOL NOW THIS SOME FUNNY S–T,” Mr. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, captioned the post.

As the world knows, Kelly, 53, has been accused of sexually abusing several minors. He also faces racketeering, sex-trafficking and bribery charges in Brooklyn federal court and other criminal charges in state courts in Chicago and Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Wade confirmed his 12-year-old child was transgender in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. The former Miami Heat player said Zaya told him and his wife, Gabrielle Union, that she was “ready to live my truth.”
Why this is funny to 50 Cent, only he knows. In fact, several of his followers also thought his “joke” was in poor taste.
“Uhm besides the fact that Zaya was brave enough to identify herself, Dwayne also has a little baby girl! So this is wrong on all levels,” one person commented.
Of course, there were also several people who commented with crying and laughing emojis.
As of this posting, Wade and Union, 47, have not yet responded to 50 Cent’s joke on social media.
The couple has been extremely supportive of Zaya’s transition. In a video Union shared, in which she introduced Zaya to the world, Wade asked his daughter, “Even when people are being mean, and even when people are getting hurt because they’re trying to be themselves?”
“I know it can get tough, definitely, but I think you push through, and you be the best you,” was Zaya’s thoughtful response.
Hmm, she’s only 12 and appears to be much more mature that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is at 44.
