50 Cent may have a reputation as one of the most feared men in the rap game, but that hasn’t stopped Dave Chappelle from using him as fuel for his comedy ammo.
The pair shared the stage at a fundraising event for Reggie Jackson’s Mr. October Foundation over the weekend, where Chappelle jokingly “auctioned off” the G-Unit mogul.
The legendary comedian compared the location, a Florida golf club, to a scene from the Jordan Peele film Get Out before joking that 50 was for sale to the largely white crowd.
“Mr. Jackson has transcended the odds of the Black community and came all the way out here to the Get Out resort,” he said to roars of laugher from the audience.
“Surprise n-ggas, the auction begins right now! How much you want for this big buck?”
50 could also be seen cracking up at the side of the side.
50 Cent has made no secret of his love for Dave Chappelle in the past. Back in 2021, the “In Da Club” rapper praised the comedian’s Netflix special The Closer, specifically his segment on the controversy surrounding DaBaby‘s homophobic comments.
“Dave Chappelle is a funny mother fucker that was flawless,” 50 wrote on Instagram. “Hip hop loves things that are damaged, that’s the beauty of the culture. @dababy is on a new path music has changed everything. LOL.”
DaBaby came under fire in July 2021 after making homophobic and sexist comments during his set at Rolling Loud Miami.
“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he told the crowd.
“Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
The North Carolina rapper was subsequently removed from other festivals, condemned by the likes of Madonna, Questlove and Elton John, and forced to issue an apology, which he later deleted.
But Chappelle found it ridiculous that DaBaby’s critics were more upset by his comments than his past murder charge.
“A lot of the LGBTQ community doesn’t know about DaBaby’s history,” he said. “He once shot a n-gga and killed him in Walmart! Oh this is true, Google it. Nothing bad happened to his career.
“Do you see where I’m going with this? In our country, you can shoot and kill a n-gga, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings.”
50 also previously supported Chappelle after he was attacked on stage at The Hollywood Bowl last May.
