It looks like the honeymoon is over for rappers in Hollywood. First Jay Z gets the cold shoulder from Hollywood bigwigs, and now 50 cent is feeling the sting of rejection.

According to Wooha.com, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, was used as bait to sell the movie “Righteous Kill” to a major distributor for national release.

But now that “Righteous Kill” has been picked up by Overture Films – 50 Cent, who stars in the movie along with Robert Dinero and Al Pacino – has been erased from all promotion material.

Can you blame the movie distributor? Who wants to promote a movie with a real-life drug dealer in it? 50 Cent wasn’t even a good drug dealer. He routinely got beat down by neighborhood kids who stole his work and ran. That’s why he went into rap – to join the other posers and wanna-be fake thugs like Rick Ross.

…WoooHa, Inc. sources reveal that the real reason Overture cut Curtis out of the campaign is because their research and exit poll information showed that 50 actually was not the urban or young demographic box office draw they were hoping for. 50 basically can’t draw in the core demographic that used to buy his albums by the millions. The box office let down of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ should have been a hint of things to come. (Source)
