Hopefully this is just a rumor, but according to reports, 50 Cent nearly slighted Whitney Houston while at the airport after the MTV Movie Awards. “I heard a woman say ‘Hi’ to me. Then she asked, ‘You’re not going to speak?’ I said, ‘What more do you want from me?’ and then turned around, it was Whitney Houston.” 50 reportedly said. “Oh man! Why of all people was I rude to her? I apologized.” Now this begs the question, why would have it been okay for 50 to snub a fan, to whom the interaction would have meant the world to them…
