50 Cent Body-Shamed After Super Bowl LVI Halftime Performance
50 Cent was a surprise guest during the Super Bowl halftime show and critics pointed out more than his performance.
The Super Bowl LVI halftime show was one of the best in recent memory. It was headlined by Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. With a lineup like this, it is only right that there was a surprise addition and it was 50 Cent. After the legendary rapper was seen sporting a classic look of his, there were some comments on social media about his overall build.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg opened the show before pointing down below where 50 Cent was seen hanging from the ceiling to perform his hit “In Da Club.” This was a surprise appearance but one that was well received by the crowd and fans of the rapper. In today’s age where social media is king, there are also plenty of trolls who want to point out some issues that they create.
Eminem taking a knee became controversial and the weight of 50 Cent was also brought into question. The current look of the 46-year-old star was pointed out while he was wearing his famous white tank top and headband. 50 Cent too to Instagram to acknowledge the memes that were being created on his behalf.

The fact remains that 50 Cent did not look bad during his Super Bowl performance. At the high point of his career, he was known for his incredible music along with a shredded physique. 50 Cent often performed without a shirt and was not shy about showing off his chiseled body. As he has gotten older, he has filled out but should not be considered “fat” by any means.
This incident comes two months after 50 Cent began a feud with Madonna after a comment on an Instagram picture of hers. Madonna responded with a video of her own calling out 50 Cent for his comments, which have since been deleted. He apologized for his comments but the pop star did not believe it was genuine.
“You were trying to shame me. Your apology is fake, it’s bullshit, and it’s not valid…An apology is not valid if you don’t know what you’re apologizing for. What you should be apologizing for is your misogynistic, sexist, ageist behavior and remarks,” Madonna said.
Many fans came to the defense of 50 Cent on social media after some comments were made about his appearance.
The Super Bowl performance was a blast to the past for many fans of the top artists from that generation of hip hop and rap music. Some took it as a chance to take shots at 50 Cent. Regardless, the performance itself will be remembered for quite some time as one of the best in Super Bowl history.
