50 Cent calls out US government shutdown's impact on travel
Rapper 50 Cent isn't holding back about the US government shutdown, which has dragged on since October 1 and set a new record for length.
He called out the "crazy" situation after more than 2,900 flights were canceled in one day because air traffic controllers—who are working without pay—just aren't enough to keep things running smoothly.
Why is the US government shut down?
The shutdown is happening because lawmakers can't agree on funding for key programs like welfare and healthcare.
With no deal in sight, the Federal Aviation Administration had to cut back at major airports, leaving airlines scrambling and travelers stuck across the country.
'All roads lead to Shreveport'
On Instagram, 50 Cent vented, "Man the airport is fvcked up, forget about traveling right now!"
Even his private jet was grounded.
He joked that unless you're driving, "all roads lead to Shreveport," capturing just how tough it's gotten to get anywhere by plane lately.
