50 Cent recently appeared on Andrew Schulz’s podcast to address the controversy surrounding Andrew’s shocking comments about Kendrick Lamar. This comes after Andrew Schulz made a sensitive joke about Kendrick that sparked widespread backlash from athletes, rappers, and media personalities. Many even labeled Andrew as racist due to prior comments he made about Black women.
To calm the situation, Andrew invited 50 Cent—a major figure in the hip-hop community—onto his podcast. This move seemed strategic, as Andrew aimed to prove that if someone like 50 Cent supports him, there’s no way he could be racist. However, 50’s appearance felt somewhat scripted, as the topic was brought up right at the start of the podcast. 50 Cent opened by “grilling” Andrew about his controversial remarks, though the conversation remained lighthearted and comedic, consistent with the show’s tone.
When questioned, Andrew downplayed the situation, joking that he meant to say “make sweet love” instead of anything inappropriate. He later apologized and explained that his humor stems from “childhood trauma” and his upbringing. Despite this, both 50 Cent and the podcast crew quickly moved on, laughing and joking in a way that suggested the exchange was more about PR than a serious confrontation.

He added that he understands Drake’s frustration because, as part of G-Unit in the past, he experienced similar issues.
On a personal note, 50 Cent expressed his admiration for Drake’s music and his success. He acknowledged that when you’re at the top, everyone wants to “take shots” at you, drawing parallels between Drake’s current situation and his own career.

It’s clear that 50 Cent’s close friendship with Andrew Schulz played a big role in this podcast episode. Their relationship began when 50 noticed Andrew cracking jokes about Meek Mill, and the two have been tight ever since. They’ve collaborated on various projects, including Andrew joining 50 Cent’s documentary about a serial killer.
Many believe 50 Cent’s podcast appearance was a calculated PR move to shield Andrew from public criticism.

This unwavering support is one reason why 50 Cent remains a powerful and respected figure in the entertainment industry after more than 20 years.
