Actress Holly Robinson Peete has written an open letter to 50 Cent after the In Da Club star insensitively made what he believed to be a joke about autism.
The Grammy-winner retweeted a comment from a fan, in addition to his own message: 'yeah just saw your picture fool you look autistic RT @yung_raditz @50cent Release the album or get shot again.'
He then followed this up with a second tweet, in which the 36-year-old said: 'i dont want no special ed kids on my time line follow some body else.'
But the Get Rich Or Die Tryin' actor attempted to make light of the situation, adding: 'just kidding about da special ed kids man, i was in special ed day said i had anger issues lol'.
However, 21 Jump Street actress and mother-of-four Holly has now retaliated, saying her heart 'sank' when she read the 'disappointing' tweet.
Speaking to Autism File magazine: 'When I read (the tweet) it my heart sank. I thought maybe your account had been hacked. No such luck.'
