50 Cent warns Los Angeles is ‘finished’ after city reinstates no-bail policy

By Thomas A. Smith

Rapper 50 Cent says LA is about to get outta control thanks to so-called bail reform.

The hip-hop Outta Control icon took to Instagram to bemoan the ongoing crime crisis in the City of Angels and said it s about to get even worse after a judge recently reinstated a controversial no-bail policy there.

LA is finished, wrote the 48-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, on Thursday. Watch how bad it gets out there. SMH [shaking my head].

The rapper included video of a TV segment about the ruling, which eliminates bail for anyone charged with a misdemeanor or non-violent felony akin to New York s controversial reforms.

Los Angeles city officials had implemented the no-bail policy during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown to ease pressure on crowded city jails and decreed that inmates already behind bars for crimes such as shoplifting, vandalism and drug possession be released.
