Hurricane Chris Clears the Air: No Malice Towards 50 Cent, Ready to Collaborate

Last week, Shreveport rapper Hurricane Chris made headlines after expressing frustration over 50 Cent’s recent Humor and Harmony festival in Shreveport, Louisiana. The rapper, born Christopher Dooley Jr., took to social media to voice his disappointment that local artists were seemingly overlooked for the event. The video quickly went viral, sparking conversations about the representation of local talent in major events.

However, Hurricane Chris has since clarified his intentions, explaining that his remarks were made in a moment of frustration, not out of malice or disrespect. In an interview with KSLA, Chris emphasized his love for his community and his desire to see local artists get the recognition they deserve.

“I definitely had no malice. It was just me wanting to see my community be respected,” Hurricane Chris said. “At the end of the day, I think I was just frustrated with the fact that none of the artists that I seen put in a lot of work in this city got paid to be on that stage.”

The Humor and Harmony festival, which drew over 30,000 visitors, did feature several Louisiana-based artists, including Fredo Bang and Big Fella Zil. But for Hurricane Chris, the exclusion of many other local talents was a missed opportunity to showcase the depth of Shreveport’s music scene.

Despite the initial tension, Hurricane Chris is now extending an olive branch. “Yeah…I’m willing to work with him like I told you. I think it’s a big misunderstanding, and we need to sit down,” he said, signaling a potential collaboration with 50 Cent in the future.

As 50 Cent plans another Humor and Harmony festival, the possibility of Hurricane Chris joining forces with the G-Unit mogul could bring a renewed sense of unity and opportunity to the Shreveport music community. What started as a moment of contention may soon pave the way for collaboration and greater exposure for local artists in the region.
