In the world of social media, celebrities often find themselves under close scrutiny and shade, with every Instagram post and tweet being analyzed and dissected by fans. Well, just the other day 50 Cent got a dose of that for himself. He turned heads when he shared a new selfie that showcased his slimmer physique. The post prompted a flurry of reactions from his followers, with some fans playfully roasting the hell outta him, while others expressed concern.

50 Cent’s Weight Loss Photos & Fans’ Reactions

The Instagram post in question featured 50 Cent posed up against a wall, with his leaner figure on display. It didn’t take long for fans to flood the comments section with their thoughts, generating a mix of praise, jokes, and genuine concern.

While many admirers were quick to shower the rapper with compliments, others couldn’t resist clowning the “Power” mogul’s transformation.

“The breakup with Cuban link was harder than he thought from 50 cent to a quarter,” wrote one user, suggesting that 50 must be depressed and not eating due to his recent breakup with his now-ex-girlfriend, Cuban Link.

Another joked, “Ozempic takes another, but I like Teddy Bear 50.”

“Ni&&a just a quarter now,” joked another commenter.

And there’s more…

“Now [you] are the real 25 cent,” stated one user.

One commenter compared 50’s new look to Rev. Al Sharpton, writing “Al sharpton head on that lil body.”

However, not all fans took the comedian’s banter lightly. Some expressed genuine concern for 50 Cent’s health.

One user voiced their worries, saying, “I like beefy fif I’m hoping this is for a role and not health related.”

While another comment read, “You switched it up to 40 Cent.:. That other 10 Cents you prolly didn’t need it anyway.:. Your Health Is Your True Wealth.”

“I don’t know what’s going on but I’m in good hopes that he’s alright and that’s all that matters,” commented another fan.

And one fan of 50’s had this to say, “What’s crazy is everyone said after Chad [Boseman] death, y’all would be more respectful of people never know what they are battling and why they are losing weight but here y’all are in these comments talking so crazy and yet again y’all have no idea what 50 got going on. SMH.”

In his next Instagram post, 50 Cent seemingly addressed the backlash he was receiving:

“If you have made me your enemy in your mind. you should change your mind, Pick another person because I’m not the kinda guy who go’s away.” – 50 Cent

Why are so many fans roasting 50 over his recent weight loss? Two reasons come to mind:
(1) It’s no secret that 50 has a reputation for ribbing and/or trolling others throughout the years. So maybe his fans are just playfully giving the brotha a dose of his own medicine; and (2) It could also be because it was just a month ago that Fif’ was posting photos and of himself lookin’ far more beefed up, like this…

So the drastic, sudden weight loss photos, a month later, may come as a bit of a shock to many.

Overall, we truly hope 50 Cent is in excellent health, and that he is simply in the mode of gettin’ lean for health purposes, or a movie role…much like he did when he shed 50 pounds for the film, “All Things Fall Apart” in 2011.
