The G-Unit leader’s sentiment received a mixed reaction, with some on social media pointing to his own musical and creative content as promotion of the exact crimes he’s rallying against. Others, such as one Instagram user with ties to the Chi-Town community, urged 50 to personally step in and assist in their organization’s effort to curb crime within the city.

“Bro it would be Powerful to have you join in on helping us stop this violence in Chicago,” the fan wrote in the post’s comment section. “I work for the Institute For Nonviolence Chicago as the Austin Outreach Supervisor. We know a lot of these young men will be willing to listen to you.”
