“And like I say, it’s no malice. It’s no hate. It’s all love, but I must voice my opinion because I been here, and I been in Shreveport,” said Shreveport rapper Christopher Dooley Jr., aka Hurricane Chris, said.
Hurricane Chris says he had no bad intentions when filming his now viral video, making claims against 50 Cent’s Humor and Harmony festival.
“I definitely had no malice. It was just me wanting to see my community be respected. I had already seen him come into the community and disrespect the culture and names, and it came out because I was in one of those moods,” Hurricane Chris said.
“At the end of the day, I think I was just frustrated with the fact that none of the artists that I seen put in a lot of work in this city got paid to be on that stage,” the rapper said.
“[Shreveport does] have artists, a lot of artists, more artists than that I can’t even name that would rock stages like that. It’s not about me. My son had a football game that day, so I couldn’t perform,” he explained.
G-Unit officials say more than 30,000 visitors attended 50 Cent’s Humor and Harmony festival. Several Louisiana-based artists performed, including rapper Fredo Bang and rapper Big Fella Zil.
“Once again, it was a festival. It was not a showcasing a lot of local rappers performed...so it was just something to come out have a good time. So to make that statement, I feel it was out of line. It makes us as people look bad.”
50 Cent says he is preparing to host another Humor and Harmony festival in the future, and Hurricane Chris says he would like to collaborate.
“Yeah...I’m willing to work with him like I told you. I think it’s a big misunderstanding, and we need to sit down.”
