50 Cent is less than unenthusiastic about the news that California is now the first state in the country to offer health insurance to all illegal immigrants.
Starting this year, 750k adults between the ages of 26 and 49 years old are now eligible for Medi-Cal benefits in the state according to KCRA – of course as long as they meet the same requirements in place for citizens, which include residence in California and income under a certain amount.
Reacting to the news in an Instagram post on Wednesday (January 3), 50 wrote: “I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers. They don’t even give veterans health insurance. @arimelber call my phone now, help me understand this shit. WTF.”
One person in the comments replied: “But if they’re illegal most of them can’t work 5th unless they have received their asylum seeking credentials. So if they’re going to be here regardless minds well be healthy. Do, understand the rich are rich because of the money spent by the poor, not the rich.”
Another said: “So it’s ok for them to clean your homes, hotels, and make your food but not ok for them to be healthy while doing it? Healthcare should be a human right. Period.”

50 Cent certainly has bigger issues to focus on at the moment, as he recently lost his bid to have a lawsuit dismissed that accuses him of hiring a hitman to kill former drug lord Corey “Ghost” Holland.
According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Judge Analisa Torres rejected the rapper’s motion to have the lawsuit dismissed before Christmas on December 19.
Holland filed a $1 billion lawsuit in 2022, alleging that 50 stole the idea for his hit series Power from him and attempted to have him killed.
Holland also sued Power creator Courtney Kemp and alleges that he was friends with her father, and over 200 scenes from the show are based on his life.
Holland has also accused 50 Cent of attempting to intimidate him and have him killed.
In the filing earlier this year, Holland claimed: “It’s 50 Cent’s abilities to HIRE a HITMAN, due to a 150 Million Dollar Contract he secured through STARZ/LIONSGATE, that have created the FEAR and constant anxiety.”
He added: “The hitmen 50 Cent hired, can KILL [me] and [my] family at any time and anywhere, once they are paid. So rather 50 Cent is in New York or Michigan or anywhere in America or Overseas, ‘ONCE HE PAYS THE HOMIES TO DO WHAT THEY DO BEST,’ quoting the defendant from the radio interview, the job can get done at any point after that.”
He also criticized 50’s social media trolling: “He callously targets people on social media for ONE purpose: their humiliation and his gain. This is what he did to DJ Khaled, Shaniqua Tompkins, Megan The Stallion and countless others. He thought [I] was going to be his latest victim, but [I] fought back, it’s the ONLY way you can deal with a BULLY!”
50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) has denied the claims within the lawsuit and through his lawyer called it “an abuse of the judicial system.”
