Stand back Angelina Jolie, because 50 Cent is on the job to show the world what a true Disney villain is like. On Jimmy Kimmel the other night, the rapper introduced as a world premiere the first trailer for his new movie, a project he says is so “big, real big” that it definitely “ain’t going to no Redbox.”

As you may have heard, Angelina is the latest Disney star, appearing in the live-action “Maleficent,” which aims to tell the story of Sleeping Beauty, aka Aurora, from the point of view of the studio’s biggest ever villain.

Reviews for the film have been mixed so far, but Jolie has been reaping praises for her performance in it. Well, until just now, when Fiddy has stepped in to take her crown Maleficent horns.

Well, in fact, the rapper was on the show to promote his new album. The “trailer” for the film is actually a faux trailer, because the movie obviously doesn’t exist. But I’d pay money to watch something called “Malefiftycent” that came with the tagline “Get Witch or Die Tryin’,” a pun on Fiddy’s hit album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.”

My favorite part about the skit is when Malefiftycent comes out of the woods to tell Aurora, who had been urging him to show his face and “not be afraid” that “I been shot nine times, I'm not afraid of no little white girl.”

Well, that and how much fun he seems to be having. It’s always great to see a rapper know when not to take himself too seriously.

Enjoy!
