In the world of Hollywood, a new controversy has emerged involving Oprah
Winfrey, rapper 50 Cent, and actress Taraji P. Henson.

Taraji recently accused Oprah of exploitation, alleging she was underpaid for her
role in “The Color Purple.” This claim has sparked significant public discussion about
pay disparities and inequality facing black actors. Taraji revealed that her salary
hasn’t increased in over six years and criticized Oprah for offering a disrespectful
initial offer. Her emotional disclosure highlights systemic issues within the industry.

50 Cent has publicly supported Taraji, echoing similar sentiments about Oprah’s
treatment of black actors. He recalled his own past disappointments with Oprah and
has teamed up with other black celebrities to address these concerns. This
controversy underscores broader systemic challenges in Hollywood regarding fair
compensation and representation for black talent.
