*50 Cent addressed rumors about his recent comedy showcase, clarifying that comedian Luenell’s claims of being overlooked for the event were untrue.
In a video, Luenell criticized him during an interview for seemingly not hiring any female comics for his Humor & Harmony event in Shreveport, Louisiana, The Jasmine Brand reports.
“I want to say that the game is still so misogynistic because I just heard about this Comedy Festival that my dear friend 50 is having right now… and there were several comedians on the plane, but not one female comic. Not one,” she said in the video.
Luenell also acknowledged that she wouldn’t have been able to perform if asked because she’s “booked and busy.”
In response, 50 Cent, who collaborated with Luenell on “Power Book II: Ghost,” claimed he did consider booking her but found out she had a prior commitment.
