Regarding looks, 50 Cent is a shadow of his former self. Fans obsess over the G-Unit rapper’s smaller shape despite his previous reputation for having an Adonis-like physique with significant muscular bulk.
After weeks of publishing fresh images of himself dressed in jeans, button-ups, and different sports coats and blazers, his fans have been unable to resist mentioning the obvious: his new figure.
“I like beefy fif. I’m hoping this is for a role and not health-related,” and “Oh my gosh, what happened to my bro?”
“ Why is he losing so much weight,” two comments from Instagram users who are undecided on whether to be worried about his looks.
Another individual carefully reminded folks that Chadwick Boseman was attacked for his declining stature while he discreetly fought illness before dying at the age of 43 in 2020. The person said on Facebook, “People never know what they are battling and why they are losing weight, but here y’all are in these comments talking so crazy.”
Others, however, have taken a lighter and more comic approach to speculating on what may be driving the “21 Questions” artist’s shift. “The breakup with Cuban link was harder than he thought from 50 cents to a quarter,” read one remark on his Jan. 22 Instagram photo.
Another reply said, “How can HELL 50 reduce the wait that quickly? Lol. I know there’s a MOVIE CHECK SOMEWHERE, LOL.” 50 Cent startled audiences when he lost 50 pounds to play a cancer-stricken football player in the 2011 film “Things Fall Apart.”
He said that he “was starving” throughout his nine-week liquid diet, which helped him reach a low of 160 pounds. Before the tremendous weight drop, he weighed 214 pounds. Another individual speculated that the “Raising Kanan” star may have changed his physique after being mocked for his heavier look when appearing at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
In December, he completed “The Final Lap Tour,” which took him worldwide for 98 performances. Before hitting the road, he told Men’s Health that he was exercising twice daily to be in top performance condition. At the time, he had lost 30 pounds.
The television magnate has yet to respond to the avalanche of comments attempting to figure out how and why he changed his appearance.
