--- description: The rapper — and a lineup of over a dozen other hip-hop stars — takes a turn in the Kimmel hot seat reading mean tweets. title: 50 Cent's Response to a Mean Tweet on Jimmy Kimmel Is Artful image: https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltde093bcdab65f2d0/6988d9b9bc6cfc69913e2a3c/time-logo.jpg?branch=production --- * [Newsfeed](/tag/time-section-newsfeed/) ## Newsfeed Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close # 50 Cent Has a Very Gracious Response to a Mean Tweet on Jimmy Kimmel  by [Raisa Bruner](/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Aug 10, 2018 2:52 PM CUT  by [Raisa Bruner](/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Aug 10, 2018 2:52 PM CUT For the [latest installment](http://time.com/4683415/oscars-2017-jimmy-kimmel-mean-tweets/ "undefined") of [Mean Tweets](http://time.com/5261260/avengers-cast-mean-tweets/ "undefined"), Jimmy Kimmel assembled an all-star cast of hip-hop’s major acts, somehow convincing everyone from [Lil Wayne](http://time.com/4830041/lil-wayne-shark-pool/ "undefined") to [Remy Ma](http://time.com/4917980/remy-ma-vmas-on-nicki/ "undefined") to read out insults pointed at them on Twitter. Things kick off on a diplomatic note, however, with rapper [50 Cent](http://time.com/4961465/50-cent-donald-trump-campaign-offer/ "undefined"), of “In Da Club” fame. “50 Cent is a moron,” he reads out before getting explicit. But the rapper seemed unfazed by the vitriol. “I don’t think anyone deserves to be kicked in the ballsack,” he comes back. “I think we should take these violent thoughts and place your energy somewhere a little more productive.” Next up is [A$AP Rocky](http://time.com/4100171/asap-rocky-lsd/ "undefined"), who also takes a measured approach to his critique. “Wow isn’t A$AP Rocky a load of hype bull—t… yawn, next,” the mean tweet goes. But Rocky is accepting of the message. “Well, everybody’s entitled to their own opinions, so I’m not really mad at that,” he says. Eve, [Pusha T](http://time.com/5291212/kanye-west-pusha-t-daytona-whitney-houston/ "undefined"), Big Sean, Anderson.Paak, [DJ Khaled](http://time.com/money/5125866/asahd-khaled-life-money-dj-khaled-son/ "undefined"), Trippie Redd, [Rae Sremmurd](http://time.com/4637661/rae-sremmurd-do-weather-tv/ "undefined"), Tyler the Creator, [Awkwafina](http://time.com/5305986/oceans-8-james-corden/ "undefined"), [Lil Yachty](http://time.com/5118041/rap-music-mainstream/ "undefined"), Wale, Yo Gotti and Logic also come in for their moments in the hot seat. When [Ty Dolla $ign](http://time.com/5220817/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-47/item/me-so-bad-tinashe-feat-ty-dolla-ign-and-french-montana/ "undefined") reads out that someone thinks he “looks like the crab from Moana,” he can only shake his head. And when someone criticizes [T-Pain](http://time.com/5139525/quincy-jones-inteview-t-pain/ "undefined") for his music, his main response is disbelief. “I’m doing way better than you,” he informs the anonymous Twitter commenter — before deciding he’s had enough, and exiting the set. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/"},"headline":"50 Cent Has a Very Gracious Response to a Mean Tweet on Jimmy Kimmel","datePublished":"2018-08-10T14:52:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:54:16.482Z","description":"Other hip-hop stars, from Lil Wayne to Remy Ma to T-Pain, also take their turn in the hotseat","url":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Late Night Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/","name":"50 Cent Has a Very Gracious Response to a Mean Tweet on Jimmy Kimmel"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Late Night Through the Ages","description":"Late Night Through the Ages","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/KJR1Lf57/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-16T18:58:46.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/KJR1Lf57.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/","duration":"PT1M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5363896/50-cents-mean-tweets/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
