50 Cent Slams Rappers for Getting Face Tattoos

Rappers including Gucci Mane and Yung L.A. recently made headlines for getting facial tattoos, but 50 Cent doesn’t think that’s such a good idea.

The controversial rapper recently spoke on how facial ink can backfire against artists trying to brand themselves and enter the corporate world, restricting them from being taken seriously in a business setting.

“That’s the craziest thing,” he told Vibe magazine. “Not necessarily Gucci, but to tattoo your face says that there’s not a possibility that you can actually walk into a legitimate establishment without makeup covering your face every day.

That does not work. It creates a separation. It says, ‘I’m an artist.’ That’s it. That’s the statement you make when you go and tattoo your face.”
