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.
