‘Grow TF Up’: 50 Cent Hits Below the Belt This Time With ‘Power’ Co-Star Naturi Naughton, Fans Are Fed Up

Does 50 Cent even like Naturi Naughton?

Some may find that question hard to answer, because the rapper recently trolled his “Power” co-star on Instagram, and he just did it again on Twitter. And now people seem to be getting tired of all the teasing.

50’s first social media taunt came a couple of weeks ago, and he did it by writing something about Naughton’s hairline. He wrote it beneath a screen grab of her’ “Power” character Tasha being pushed in the forehead by Omari Hardwick‘s character Ghost during an episode.

“POWER never ends, Ghost f–ked up the edges. LOL,” wrote 50.

Naugton eventually responded on Instagram and said “Ummm…mean much @50cent. Don’t I make you look good every Sunday night? But cool…”

“👀yes you do a great job on the show @naturi4real,” 50 wrote back. “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.”

A lot of people slammed the rapper for the post and so did “The Real” co-host Loni Love, who said “What I’m tired of is that our people always talk about our people. I don’t think that that’s right. We’re always making fun.”

But despite Love’s comments and 50’s followers blasting him, he made fun of the former 3LW member again on Wednesday.

He did it by tweeting a split image that shows the actress next to the character ‘Goro’ from Mortal Kombat, as if to say they have the same hairstyle. And the rapper’s tweet comes shortly after his Instagram account was deleted.

“Who the f–k did this, POWER is #1,” wrote 50 next to the photo.

Afterwards, people seemed to be really confused about the post.

“Didn’t you just apologize to her for this a few days ago?” someone asked.

“Sir PLEASE seek help'” another person tweeted.

“The first time he could say he thought it was all in fun. This time he KNOWS he is hurting her feelings,” a third follower wrote.

” You…you did this. Grow tf up,” said a fourth person.

Naughton hasn’t responded to 50’s message yet, and her last Instagram post was seven days ago.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
