Oprah short-changed by 50 Cent

Oprah Winfrey

Rapper 50 Cent has called TV presenter Oprah Winfrey an Oreo - an insult signifying that an African-American is only black for show and really white inside.

"Oprah started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself," said 50 Cent.

The rapper said black women may look up to Oprah because she's a self-made billionaire, but her message is really aimed at "the demographic of white Americans" with whom she has "exactly the same views"
