50 Cent recently posted an offensive autism related tweet to a fan on his Twitter account, and is now being hit with the consequences.  He did later apologize for the statement he made, as he realized it was an ill advised thing to say, however his apology hasn't changed the minds of the Carphone Warehouse organization in Dundrum Town Centre, Ireland, to cancel his upcoming event.

50 was supposed to make a promotional appearance at Carphone Warehouse this coming Wednesday, July 11th, in order to promote his new headphones, and have a meet and greet with some of his fans, however the event has been officially cancelled.  The Carphone Warehouse did however appreciate the fact that 50 apologized for his previous autism tweet, but decided it would still be better to cancel the event.  

They issued the following statement regarding the matter:

"To all our fans and customers, We wish to assure you all that we entirely appreciate all of your responses in regards to the visit of 50 Cent and would like to take this opportunity to reinforce that we as a company value each and every one of our customers.  We appreciate that 50 Cent has issued an apology in relation to his recent comments however we have decided not to go ahead with the event on Wednesday."
