Multi-platinum rapper 50 Cent made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill Wednesday, where he posed for a photo with controversial Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert — raising eyebrows online.
The “In da Club” singer shared a pic of him with his arm around Boebert’s waist in the White House on X alongside the caption: “Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house [sic] look good,” and a winky face emoji.
X users quickly went off in the comments asking the rapper “What movie did you guys see?” in reference to Boebert’s notorious Denver theater date with a Democrat in which the pair were filmed groping each other in their seats.
“Beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice,” another person commented also in reference to the pol’s date.
Boebert was watching a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical when she and her date were kicked out of the theater over their behavior — including the groping and Boebert’s vaping.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, addressed the comments on X hours later.
“Wait, wait, guys I took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren,” he tweeted. “What did she do in a dark theater that hasn’t been done, my God ! Hey I don’t have chlamydia by the way. LOL.”
The “Just a lil bit” and “Candy shop” hit master did share several more photos with politicians from both parties on X as he visited DC to advocate for more black entrepreneurs in the liquor industry.
50 Cent, who was joined by famous civil rights attorney Ben Crump, owns the wine and liquor company Sire Spirits.
He also shared photos of himself with several members of Congress including Rep. Joyce Beatty from Ohio (D), former House Speaker and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D), current House Speaker Mike Johnson (R), Rep. Troy Carter from Louisiana (D) and Rep. Steve Scalise from Louisiana.
Boebert shared a photo of herself and 50 Cent on her own X page as well.
“I’d still love you if you flipped burgers at Burger King,” she tweeted. “@50Cent, I used to do that myself! Thanks for the photo, great to meet you!”
