50 Cent 'Sorry' For Mocking Autistic Janitor


Curtis Jackson III AKA 50 Cent, came under fire after he posted a video of himself on social media confronting Andrew Farrell at a Cincinnati airport and accusing him of being on drugs.

After an online backlash, 50 Cent later deleted the footage from his Instagram account and apologised for making fun of an airport janitor who has mild autism and deals with social anxiety.

"While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man," the In Da Club singer told the NY Post in a statement.

"It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community, which is a source of great strength in America. I have apologised personally to him and his family." 
In the video, the rapper can he heard ridiculing Mr Farrell as he follows him through the airport.

He says: "Look at him. What kind of s*** do you think he took before he got to work today?

"He high as a m********** right here in the airport. The new generation is crazy."
