50 CENT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE

So since everyone else has put the 2 cents in on the Chris Brown, Rihanna saga why can't 50 Cent.

On his Web site, ThisIs50.com, Fif has made references to the pair's recent, apparently violent incident in the "Pimpin' Curly" series as well as in his Saturday morning animated disses to Rick Ross. He featured Ross as a cop and Chris and Rihanna as characters from the game "Street Fighter." "Officer Ricky" eventually arrests Brown and tosses him in jail along with Suge Knight.

"I thought that was something you could use for humor, like any other comedian would utilize current events to put into their actual [presentation], being humorous a little bit," 50 explained while promoting his new video game, "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand," which hit stores Tuesday. "I put [reference to the incident] in a 'Pimpin' Curly' skit a little bit. From the perspective of the character, I mentioned it."

50 says those comedic references were made prior to TMZ posting a photograph of a badly beaten Rihanna. He immediately changed his mind about making light of the situation.

"After I saw the photograph, that wasn't funny anymore," 50 said. "I didn't have any information on it. You're just going on what the public actually had. It shifts the whole thing. Even if you're saying you're in a dysfunctional relationship, I understand that. There's a point when you're already past a woman fighting you back. You look at [the picture], and it's obviously past that point. There's some issues there that definitely gotta be addressed. Not to take any shots at Chris or Rihanna or take sides in any way, [but] it's really not cool. It's not funny anymore, so there will definitely be no more reference to that from me in any way."

GV Says: Stop the presses....I hate to admit it, but I actually agree with him. Like 50 said....the image I saw on TMZ was past the point of a mutual fight. Right or wrong even if Rihanna put her hands on Chris, he went too far. Also, while I believe the release of the photo violated Rihanna's privacy, it did bring home the reality of domestic violence. It stopped all the silly comments from Chris' family about how it wasn't that bad or how he had to be provoked. There was no missing the damage and pain that was obvious.
