50 Cent took to Instagram on December 19 to poke fun at Kanye West after a bizarre video of the Chicago rapper during a legal deposition surfaced online. The clip, taken from A&E’s Interrogation Raw: Celebrity Under Oath, shows Kanye, wearing a mask, making eccentric statements while allegedly distracted by his phone.
The Viral Video
In the footage, Kanye refers to himself as “the richest Black person in the history of America” and justifies using his phone during the session by saying, “Due to my mental geniusness, in order to focus on this bulls**t, I need to be on a phone.”
Amused by Kanye’s antics, 50 Cent shared the video on Instagram, captioning it:
“Wait, this is the best st I have seen. [Laughing out loud at] the deposition. [What the fk is] going on here! [Laughing my a** off].”
The deposition stems from a $20 million lawsuit filed by MyChannel, a Black-owned tech company, accusing Kanye of failing to honor a $10 million investment and misappropriating their technology for his Sunday Service productions.
Additional Legal Troubles
This isn’t the only legal battle Kanye faces. In November, Rolling Stone reported on another lawsuit filed by Jenifer An, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant, who accused Kanye of sexual assault during a 2010 music video shoot in Manhattan.
According to the lawsuit, Kanye allegedly choked An with one hand and used the other to simulate forced oral sex, exclaiming, “This is art. This is f**king art. I am like Picasso.” Universal Music Group, also named as a co-defendant, allegedly ignored the incident despite being contacted by An’s representatives.
Public Reactions
Kanye’s behavior and legal challenges continue to draw public attention, often blending criticism with bewildered amusement. While some, like 50 Cent, use the opportunity to mock his eccentricities, others are calling for accountability regarding the serious allegations he faces.
As Kanye navigates these controversies, his unpredictable actions and legal disputes keep him in the headlines, with the public closely watching for his next move.
