I wish for many a slapfest involving Oprah Winfrey, but this would absolutely be the end all of all slap flights: Oprah versus a tag team match featuring 50 Cent and Ludacris. I hope she packs her bullet-proof vest.
50 Cent recently admitted to the Associated Press he would never appear on Oprahs talk show, despite her recent invite, because the rapper believes the media mogul panders to those outside his fan base.
"I think she caters to older white women. Oprah's audience is my audience's parents," the 29-year-old rapper said. "So, I could care less about Oprah or her show."
Dont cry for 50hes fine with Oprah hating on him; its better for his image.
"I'm actually better off having friction with her," he said.
Oprah also pissed off another other rapper recently. In the May issue of GQ magazine, Ludacris remarked that while promoting his Oscar-winning film, Crash, on her talk show last October, Oprah came off as less than cordial to him.
"She edited out a lot of my comments while keeping her own in," he said. "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 "
Give me a break. Saying Oprah and 50 Cent are feuding is like trying to explain the beef between Ford and Krispy Kreme. There isn't one, and there probably will never be no matter how much Yahoo Entertainment wants there to be.
Yet no one notices the one great part of this article, where 50 cent admits his target audience is white kids.

That is an excellent analogy. I applaud you.

Half Buck is a fuckin' moron, PERIOD!! Luda on the other hand, is not. Oprah, is genius and I will say again, she does and HAS DONE more good than pretty much any other "celebrity" save Bill Gates.
"Oprah Winfrey gathered a who's who of urban artists for what you might call "Oprahpalooza" over the course of one recent weekend. First, the talk-show host held a private luncheon at her Montecito, California, home, where music legends such as Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross, Tina Turner and Dionne Warwick were honored by Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Brandy, Natalie Cole, Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott. Winfrey also invited Usher, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones and others for a white-tie ball the next night. And to cap the weekend, Winfrey held a gospel brunch the next morning with performances by LaBelle, Knight, Warwick and Chaka Khan. Winfrey's "Legends Ball" special airs May 15 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. ..."
At least 50 Cent isn't pretending that his fans are anyone other than spoiled suburban white boys.
Edit: As everyone else said. Seriously, though, I find that refreshing, that kind of honesty. Fitty's got integrity like that, y'know?
Also, Fitty, you're now on the list of People Who Don't Realize That "I Could Care Less" Means That They Actually DO Care, And Who Ought To Be Smote For Being So Dumb. (Sadly, it's a long fucking list; there are yet many to be smote before him.)
