50 Cent Just Got Magical
In the list of things that are awesome, Angelina Jolie's Maleficent is her highest box office opening ever and the combination of Maleficent and Frozen are slowly but surely circulating the buzz that female-led movies rule the theater audiences. Of course, most of us have known that for years, but it's still a victory that it's the topic on everyone's minds right now. Naturally, if Maleficent hopes to emulate anywhere near the amount of success that Frozen did, it's going to need its own parodies. There's a new Frozen parody going viral every week, guys, where's the Maleficent love? Thankfully, 50 Cent did a Maleficent parody for Jimmy Kimmel to get the ball rolling and it was hilarious... and terrifying.
It was less of a parody and more of a trailer. At first, the clip opens up with scenes from any Maleficent trailer that came before it until Maleficent herself comes out of the shadow and is revealed to be... 50 Cent. In full Maleficent costume. Yeah, that was a thing that happened. As the rapper himself states, "I've been shot nine times. I'm not afraid of no little white girl!" He's also not afraid of that curled horn cap, apparently, even knowing that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt get freaky with them in bed.
If you didn't know that 50 Cent dressed up as Maleficent was exactly what you needed to see today, then this clip is saving you from what would have otherwise been an incredibly boring day. Then again, I could have gone my whole life without seeing 50 Cent's freakish grin.
If this is his way for making up for his bad pitch at the Mets game, then 50 Cent is definitely doing a great job. I, for one, am thinking less about the fact that 50 Cent can't throw and more about the fact that I might need to put a line of rock salt around my closet door before I go to bed tonight for fear that 50 Cent might saunter out of it with that chilling expression on his face.
Watch the clip below.
