50 Cent is upset at what he feels is a double standard in American cinema. The rapper’s movie poster for Get Rich or Die Tryin’ received criticism for showing him packing a gun, yet no one has made a peep about the firearm carried by James Bond in the billboards for Casino Royale.
50 as said, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin' comes out and they want to protest because they see a gun in my hand but James Bond comes out or Mr. & Mrs. Smith will come out with guns and it’s acceptable. You can see any kind of gun there is to see on the covers of films. You can go in Blockbuster and see every gun that was ever made.”
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wants the film industry to adopt one universal rule regarding weapons in movie posters.
"Let`s not start with 50 Cent and stop with 50 Cent. Let’s do it everywhere else and make it unacceptable period. I would gladly join the rest of entertainment if we get there," he said.
