Later today he was supposed to be meeting and greeting fans at the Carphone Warehouse out in Dundrum Town Centre.

But those plans have come down around 50 Cent as the company has cancelled the public appearance because of the comments the rapper made regarding autism on Twitter recently.

Fiddy, as he is known, also took to Twitter to apologise. He wrote ‘I realize my autism comments were insensitive, however it was not my intention to offend anyone and for this I apologize.’

The Carphone Warehouse acknowledged this apology stating ‘We appreciate that 50 Cent has issued an apology, in relation to his recent comments however we have decided not to go ahead with the event on Wednesday.’

Now instead of helping to launch the new range of headphones in Dundrum the In Da Club singer will have to find something else to do.
