Rapper Apologizes For Insulting Cincinnati Airport Worker

politico.com

Some southwest Ohio liquor stores are pulling vodka from their shelves in response to an incident at the Cincinnati airport over the weekend.  Curtis Jackson III, better known as rapper 50 Cent, posted a video to Instagram of himself harassing a disabled airport custodian while he was on tour to promote his new brand of vodka. Store owners say they do not support such behavior and will not carry the rapper's brand. The family of the custodian asked Jackson to apologize and make a donation to charities that support autism research.  Jackson made a 100 thousand dollar donation to an autism charity yesterday. He also apologized through his attorney.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
