Police: Rapper Insults Disabled Worker At Cincinnati Airport

Cincinnati Police via Farrell Family

Cincinnati police say Curtis Jackson III, better known as rapper 50 Cent, followed a disabled custodian at the city's airport on Saturday and used salty language in accusing him of being high at work.  Police say he then posted the video to his Instagram account, but took it down a short time later due to a public backlash.  19-year-old custodian Andrew Farrell and his family are asking the rapper to apologize. Jackson was in southwest Ohio to promote his new brand of vodka.

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.
