50 Cent Apologizes to Autistic Teen Airport Custodian
Ryan Boyd May 04, 2016
Rapper 50 Cent has apologized to the family of Andrew Farrell, an autistic teenager, after posting a video to Instagram mocking the young airport custodian. The footage, taken in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), shows 50 Cent asking the teenager his name, and when the custodian remains silent and continues working, 50 Cent follows him, saying “He high … right here in the airport, pupil dilated everything, looking like.”
Farrell commented: “I was just starting work. Pushing my cart, minding my own business.”
On Tuesday, 50 Cent apologized to Farrell, writing, “While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, please accept my sincere apologies for offending you. It was certainly not my intent to insult you and I wish you and your family well.”

50 cent: PLEASE err on the side of caution. I think you would be surprised how many "different" people are trying to live happy, productive lives (and doing the best they can - many quite well I might add). You were born with every advantage - possibly economically challenged but with all the faculties to learn not only knowledge but more importantly WISDOM as well. I work with people with learning differences and I can tell you first hand, they are the nicest, most sincere individuals you will ever meet. Your apology does not go anywhere near far enough. Why not invite that young man to have a coffee or juice drink with you and send some time with him?
“While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, please accept my sincere apologies for offending you. It was certainly not my intent to insult you and I wish you and your family well.” Umm, yes, it was clearly your intent to insult him. Why else post the video with such comments? I guess this is what happens to "poor" people who are completely bankrupt.
50 CENT IS a moron...an immature, insensitive, inhumane person.
His apology means nothing. I hope the turd took down the video.
