According to Luenell, 50 Cent's Humor & Harmony Weekend lineup was “hurtful."

Earlier this month, 50 Cent hosted his Humor & Harmony Weekend festival in Shreveport, but Luenell was not impressed with the lineup. She weighed in during a recent interview, expressing her disappointment that female comedians weren't included. “I want to say that the game is still so misogynistic because I just heard about this Comedy Festival that my dear friend 50 is having right now… and there were several comedians on the plane, but not one female comic. Not one,” she explained.

She also noted how important fair representation is, as people of all genders were in attendance. “How can you expect women, who buy a lot of tickets, to sit and listen to man after man after man after man after man?” she wondered. “The assumption is that men are funnier than women… but that’s the assumption that’s been perpetrated."

50 Cent Claims Luenell Was Too Busy For Humor & Harmony Weekend

Luenell's comments sparked a response from Fif, who took to Instagram earlier today to clear things up. According to him, it was not intentional, and he would have liked to include women in the lineup. He claims he was even interested in booking her, but he figured that her schedule was simply too busy. "Proof you can’t make everybody happy," he wrote. "I love luenell’s work that’s why I had them put her in Ghost. We saw her big a** was booked already,🤨so we didn’t reach out. you think I didn’t want Monique, Sommore or Amy Schumer they on FIRE 🔥WTF 😤 @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi."
