50 Cent has accused Oprah Winfrey of only speaking out against black men who are accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault.
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, shared an old photo of the former TV host with music executive Russell Simmons.
The criticism comes on the heels of Winfrey’s announcement that she will produce a new documentary about the 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual misconduct allegations against Simmons.
It features Drew Dixon, a former music recording executive, who claims that Simmons raped her while she was working at his label Def Jam Recording, reported the Los Angeles Times.
A title has not been revealed, but it will air on Apple TV+ after it premieres at the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Jackson claimed that this documentary, along with Winfrey’s work on the Michael Jackson documentary Finding Neverland, is evidence that she has an agenda against black men.
‘I don’t understand why Oprah is going after black men. No Harvey Weinstein, No Epstein, just Michael Jackson and Russell Simmons. This s**t is sad,’ Jackson wrote on Instagram.

Jackson then went after CBS This Morning host Gayle King, a friend of WInfrey’s, who confronted R Kelly on TV about the allegations of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault against him.
‘Gayle went after R Kelly with the death blow documentary. Every time I hear Michael Jackson I don’t know whether to dance or think about the little boys butts,’ he wrote.
‘These [documentaries] are publicly convicting their targets, it makes them guilty till proven innocent.’
Jackson then escalated his attack on Winfrey, posting a collage of six celebrity men accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault, including Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, R Kelly, Kevin Spacey, Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein.
Epstein, Spacey, Trump and Weinstein had ‘Walk’ written over their photos while Cosby and Kelly had ‘Jail’ written over them.
‘You think Oprah don’t notice how this s**t is playing out?’ Jackson captioned the post.
Simmons also took to Instagram to slam Winfrey’s documentary about the allegations against him, claiming it’s full of lies.
‘Dearest OPRAH, you have been a shining light to my family and my community,’ Simmons began his post, sharing a photo of him with the TV host.
‘This is why it’s so troubling that you choose me to single out in your recent [documentary].
‘I have taken and passed nine 3-hour lie detector tests…Now that you have reviewed the facts and you SHOULD have learned what I know; that these stories are UNUSABLE and that ‘hurt people hurt people.”

Simmons (left, with 50 Cent) also wrote on Instagram that he was disappointed that Winfrey (right) is ‘singling him out’ in the new documentary. Featured in the documentary is Drew Dixon, a former music recording executive who claims Simmons raped her
This is not the only time Winfrey has spoken out against men accused of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault.
In an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow for her new podcast, Winfrey discussed how the allegations against Weinstein brought allegations against several more men.
‘It had been coming with [Bill] Cosby and nothing happened, it had been coming with Bill O’Reilly…even with the president of the United States, where people can hear the Access Hollywood tape and yet, nothing happens,’ Winfrey told Paltrow, according to CNN.
‘It had been coming and so that moment [Weinstein] was the moment where it all crystallized.’
