Oprah Winfrey is catching major backlash right now—and it’s not the kind of spotlight she wants. The drama reignited after Empire star Taraji P. Henson revealed she nearly walked away from The Color Purple remake because of unfair low pay. Her shocking confession has the industry buzzing, and 50 Cent wasted no time jumping in, telling Taraji to ditch Oprah and join his powerhouse production team instead.

Fans are pointing out this isn’t new. 50 Cent has been calling Oprah out for years—accusing her of protecting white predators while turning her back on Black entertainers. He even trolled her publicly by naming his dog “Oprah” and his cat “Gayle,” after her best friend Gayle King. What once seemed like jokes now feels like part of a much bigger issue.

Taraji isn’t the only one. Mo’Nique also accused Oprah (and Tyler Perry) of blackballing her after she refused to work for free. Instead of just talking, 50 stepped in and gave Mo’Nique a big role in his hit show Black Mafia Family. Fans praised him for putting real action behind his words and standing up for Black women in Hollywood.

This long-running feud goes back to when Oprah slammed 50 for his raw lyrics, saying rappers like him pushed negativity into the culture. 50 clapped back hard, pointing out her double standards—arguing she catered so heavily to white audiences that she turned her back on the very Black community that built her career. He even went as far as calling her an “Oreo”—Black on the outside but siding with the white perspective on the inside.

And he’s not the only one who’s felt Oprah’s sting. Back in 2005, Ludacris accused her of blindsiding him on her show—editing out his responses to make him look weak while she criticized his music. A year later, Dave Chappelle had his own messy experience when Oprah pressed him hard about walking away from his $50 million Comedy Central deal, even brushing off his claims about Hollywood pressures and manipulation.

Then there’s Oprah’s cozy relationship with Harvey Weinstein. For years she openly praised him, and insiders claim she even called him with words of support when the first wave of allegations hit. Celebrities like Rose McGowan and Seal later blasted her, accusing her of knowingly protecting Weinstein to maintain her own power in Hollywood.

Now with Taraji’s bombshell about pay inequality, the spotlight is back on Oprah’s legacy. 50 Cent immediately showed support, reposting the story and offering to work with Taraji directly. Fans applauded him, with one writing, “First Mo’Nique, now Taraji. How can anyone not respect 50? He’s really standing strong for the Black Queens.”

The question now: Has 50 Cent been right about Oprah all along? Is she really exploiting Black talent while protecting powerful predators? Or is this just another chapter in their ongoing feud?
