“The Wire” star found dead
– An insensitive shit
The star’s death has naturally left many in mourning, but when rapper 50 Cent (46), whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, used the death for his own gain, he was hit hard.
According to Complex the rapper promoted the TV series «Power Book III: Raising Kanan».

“Shit, if you’ve not seen Raising Kanan then do it – fetanyl is no joke, it kills the clientele. Rest in peace Michael K. Williams », he wrote on Instagram.
The post was later deleted, but according to the website, he referred to an article in the New York Post, where it was claimed that the actor allegedly died of an overdose and fentanyl. The article has since been changed.
The most shocking celebrity deaths
“I do not know what others are saying, but using someone’s tragic and untimely death to promote their own show with an insensitive description is ugly. 50 Cent has always been an insensitive shit, but this goes over the limit “, one writes on Twitter.
– A hell of a substance
Others describe him as stupid, while most find it distasteful to use someone’s passing to promote their own series.
A few days later, however, the rapper made it clear that he did not let the criticism affect him. The 46-year-old shared another post with his followers, where he wrote:
Hi, if you have not had the opportunity to see Raising Kanan, check it out. Fetanyl is a hell of a drug ».
To the text, he shared a screenshot of a headline in which he received criticism. His followers are not particularly happy in this comment field either.
Unknown cause of death
Michael K. Williams, who received massive recognition for his role as Omar Little in the television series “The Wire”, turned just 54 years old. The cause of death is not yet known.
