50 Cent donates to autism group after social media incident

We appear to have reached the final chapter in the 50 Cent-Andrew Farrell saga.

It came in the form of a $100,000 donation to Autism Speaks from Curtis Jackson III – known as rapper 50 Cent – in an effort to "make good" with the 19-year-old Conner High School graduate he mocked in a video he posted to Instagram, according to a release. In the video, 50 Cent accused Farrell of being high while working his job as a janitor at CVG airport Sunday. It has since been removed.

The rapper was in Cincinnati to promote Effen Vodka at Jungle Jim's in Eastgate. Jungle Jim's – along with other stores and bars – has since pulled Effen Vodka from its shelves.

In a release, 50 Cent said he wants "to turn this misunderstanding into an understanding. There are people that are ignored, mistreated and neglected with disabilities that need our support. Today, I have made a donation of $100,000 to this worthy cause through Autism Speaks."

The release also stated that the Farrell family asked 50 Cent to make a $10,000 donation.

Before the donation, 50 Cent issued an apology to the Farrell family. Former attorney Eric Deters, who said his firm was representing the Farrell family, said in a video the family was not seeking any monetary compensation for themselves but asked that the rapper make a donation to an autism-related cause.

Andrew Farrell said Tuesday he and his family were happy 50 Cent apologized.

"I am calling on my fellow musicians, actors, entertainers and all others who may not have fully considered this cause to join together to help in any way they can," 50 Cent said in a statement.
