Rapper 50 Cent has been charged with domestic violence after attacking ex-girlfriend

Brentford and Isleworth MP Mary Macleod has called on US rapper 50 Cent to withdraw from an upcoming visit to QVC, where the star will be selling his range of headphones, until he has answered charges for domestic violence.

Mary commented: “These charges are very serious. 50 Cent should immediately withdraw his visit to QVC until he has answered his charges. Not to do so would be an insult to people affected by domestic violence across the whole country. This is even more poignant in Chiswick, the site of the UK’s first domestic violence refuge.”

Mary’s comments come as 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, withdrew from a visit to Argos in Birmingham.

QVC, which moved its Head Office and Studios in Battersea to Chiswick Park last year, will be hosting 50 Cent this Sunday, 7th July, at 3pm and 7pm.

He is due to appear in Court in Los Angeles on 22nd July to answer four counts of vandalism and domestic violence.
