50 Cent is now on the hit list as he posted a video of mocking a 19-year-old guy with autism and an employee in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport on Sunday. Later, the "In Da Club" hitmaker admitted his mistake and issued a public apology on his Twitter page on Tuesday.
"While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man," 50 Cent said in a statement to Page Six. "It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community."
50 Cent even described the society of disabled people in the America is the great source of strength in the country. The 40-year-old rapper even cleared that he already said his apology to the family and Andrew Farrell, the guy with autism, personally.
The controversial video showed 50 Cent approaching an airport janitor, who turned out to be Andrew Farrell. The actor and record producer asked for the guy with autism's name but, the latter ignored him and said he didn't know the star.

50 Cent, then, cast a joke to Andrew Farrell by saying he was "high as a motherf-----." He also disclosed the guy with autism has dilated pupils and described the new generation was "f------ crazy," All HipHop reported.
Upon seeing the video, Andrew Farrell's step-father, Ken Kramer, revealed his step-son has a slight autism, social anxiety disorder and hearing problems. This made 50 Cent delete the said clip but, unfortunately, it quickly went viral before he took it down.
Ken Kramer also unveiled that their family was thinking of legal actions but, said they can't sustain the high professional fee of the lawyers. Hence, the family was only asking a donation worth $1 million to Andrew's GoFundMe page and a personal apology from 50 Cent, as per TMZ.
As 50 Cent already showed his remorse, Andrew Farrell and his family accepted his apology and no longer pursuing the lawsuit and donation. The viral clip, on the other hand, was already deleted as well as the sorry video.
