50 Cent Claims His New Pronoun Is “THING/IT”

50 Cent has humorously declared a change in pronouns, now preferring to be referred to as “thing/it” instead of he/him. This unconventional move follows a growing trend in artists expressing their preferred gender pronouns. Lil Uzi Vert, in 2022, embraced they/them pronouns after thorough consideration of gender identities.

50 Cent, known for his humor, reiterated his identification as “thing/it” in a subsequent post, emphasizing his unique choice. This unconventional twist adds a layer of individuality to the evolving conversation around gender identity in the world of hip-hop.

This eccentric pronoun shift by 50 Cent serves as a notable moment in the ongoing evolution of gender identity discussions within the realm of hip-hop. The G-Unit mogul, known for his candid and often humorous social media presence, announced the unconventional change via Instagram on November 13 during his Final Lap Tour in Europe.
