50 Cent Calls Robert Williams III's Assault Suspect "Innocent"
According to police, Robert Williams III was on a corner speaking to a woman when Don Roberts III hopped out of his vehicle and immediately began pressing him. Apparently, this woman had a relationship with Don in the past.
Robert Williams III told police that Don held a handgun in his hand and pointed it towards him, saying, “I don’t care who your daddy is, I’ll kill you.” Don then allegedly struck Roberts with the gun.
Shortly after the news went viral, 50 Cent immediately chimed in, making light of Ross’ past as a correctional officer and plugging his own movie, Street Fighter.
“I got him he will be out tomorrow I'm sending @drewfindling," 50 wrote. "This is a big misunderstanding that can easily be resolved. This was a street fight, I mean STREET FIGHTER is in theaters! LOL."
Though Ross himself hasn’t chimed in, Roberts Williams III's mother, Tia Kemp, called out 50 Cent for egging on the situation, sparking a back-and-forth on social media. Check out the post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.
