50 Cent has voiced concerns over the hyper-sexualization of female rappers in mainstream Hip Hop, suggesting it lacks balance and may negatively impact female culture.
During an interview with comedian Michael Perry, the G-Unit leader admitted his desire for a breakout female rapper whose success isn’t tied to sexual appeal.
“I just want somebody to break [through] that is not trying to sell some box,” he said, acknowledging the dominance of sex-positive rap but arguing it “might be damaging female culture.”
50 Cent also contrasted his earlier risqué hits like Candy Shop with today’s female rap, claiming his use of metaphors differed from the explicitness seen now. He pointed to artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, and Ice Spice as leading figures in this trend, alongside Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, whose tracks like Super Freaky Girl and WAP topped the charts.
Critics of 50 Cent’s perspective were quick to highlight artists like Doja Cat and Doechii, who have found success while offering different approaches to their music and identity. The conversation follows similar critiques from Fabolous, who lamented the lack of diversity in female rap and called for more authentic storytelling.
50 Cent’s comments have reignited debates about the evolution of female rap and its cultural implications, with fans and industry figures divided on whether the genre needs a shift in focus.
