50 Cent is generating buzz after posing with controversial Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert during a recent trip to Washington, D.C.
The entertainment mogul met with several members of the U.S. government on Wednesday (June 5) at Capitol Hill and the White House amid his long-running battle with spirits company Beam Suntory.
However, a photo has fans calling 50 Cent a “sellout” after he posed with scandal-plagued Republican Representative Lauren Boebert. He responded to the backlash on Instagram while referencing Boebert’s infamous molestation incident.
“Wait, wait, guys, I took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “What did she do in a dark theater that she hasn’t done yet, oh my god! Hey, by the way, I don’t have chlamydia. Haha”
However, fans were quick to voice their displeasure in the comments section, with many claiming the backlash stemmed from the politics of a staunch Trump ally rather than a 2023 theater scandal.
“We don’t care what she did in a dark theater, what bothers us is what she did in Congress,” one person wrote.
“She didn’t help with this,” another said. “This is the anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQIA rhetoric she spreads and so on. She voted with those who wanted to abolish contraception and abortion.
50 Cent sparked criticism after sharing the photo and noting that Lauren Boebert makes “the White House look good.”
One user called the photo the “weirdest post ever,” while others questioned whether he was crazy.
“But why would you take such an embarrassing photo in front of Congress?” read one complaint.
