50 Cent’s publicist should just make him deactivate his Twitter account. No really, have you ever read his Tweets? He must be trying to take the “Jackass” title from Kanye (hey Obama said it, not me) because the stuff that he writes is just plain ridiculous.

The rapper found himself under fire by gay rights groups and supporters, yet again, after Tweeting the following:

Many pointed out the extremely ill timing of the comment that came right in the middle of a big news story about Tyler Clementi, a Rutgers University freshman who did actually kill himself after his fellow classmates posted his sexual encounters on the web.

Among several critics, editors of the Advocate said that the rapper was encouraging gay suicide. TruthWinsOut.com put out a press release that said, “Only a despicable reprobate would do such a thing and leaders from Hollywood to Washington should condemn such rhetoric.”

50 went back on his Twitter account to clear up his remarks:

“The other night I made a joke about a blow job. My male followers enjoyed it. So I then went on to joke about women receiving the same….Some how they turned a simple joke about oral sex into a anti gay statement. I have nothing against people who choose and alternative life…Style in fact iv [sic] publicly stated my mom loved women. It funny how people think negative statements are news worthy but positive statements are not worthy of coverage.”

What’s your take on the incident?
