50 Cent has lashed out at media mogul Oprah Winfrey, criticising her for failing to invite rappers onto her talk show.
The 29-year-old rapper claims that Winfrey does not want to offend her predominantly white, middle class audience. He told a WENN interviewer: "I think she caters to older white women...Oprah's audience is my audience's parents. So, I couldn't care less about Oprah or her show."
However, the star pointed out that any disapproval from Winfrey would probably enhance his reputation on the street anyway. He revealed, "I'm actually better off having friction with her."
Oprah recently came under fire from rapper-turned-actor Ludacris, after he appeared on her show. He complained to GQ magazine: "She edited out a lot of my comments while keeping her own in. Of course, it's her show, but we were doing a show on racial discrimination, and she gave me a hard time as a rapper, when I came on there as an actor."
