Rapper 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, for almost half the year has been telling all his strong opinion about the beloved TV host, Oprah Winfery.

According to azcentral.com, recently 50 Cent told Elle magazine: "She started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself. I think the idea of being publicly noted as a billionaire makes black women interested in seeing her views. But it's even more exciting to the demographic of white American women she's been aiming at to see that she has the exact same views that they have."

His "beef" as they would say in the world of hip-hop, comes from the lack of rappers invited to be on her show, most notably the lack in 50 Cent's appearance who as many rappers has a rags to riches story, having been a drug dealer who hits it big with rap albums, a movie, a video game, and a fashion line.

50 cent is not the only rapper to notice the lack of appearances by rappers and some rappers even feel snubbed by the Talk Show Mogul.

Rapper/actor Ludacris, born Chris Bridges, told GQ magazine, Oprah had been "unfair", last October during an appearance for "Crash" the movie he starred in.

"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, when I came on there as an actor."
Rapper/Actor/Producer/Director, Ice Cube, born O'Shea Jackson, joins Ludacris and 50 Cent after not being invited to the show.

According to nobodysmiling.com Ice Cube told FHM, "I've been involved in three projects pitched to her [ Oprah Winfery ], but I've never been asked to participate...for 'Barbershop,' she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn't invited. Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop. ... She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"

They are a nonprofit mission and could use any help they could get. Thet help the women to get a job and try to get ther life in some kind of order. Thanks very much .My wife started the mission in 2004. Her name is Debbie Haymes, and is very passonate about her work. Thanks Guy

Hi I am a disabled woman with an idea to save lives and would like to know how to contact Ophra Winfery to get her to help me to get it out on the market. I know she is about saving lives and I believe she would agree with this idea that i have. I have a patent company that is willing to go for it but I believe that Ophra could help me to get this out faster and save lives now. Not just any one but all that have children, elderly, and handicaped loved ones in there lives. Like I said I am a disabled person and have not much money. So maybe she will help.
