50 Cent is not sweating the body shamers!

50 Cent is projecting “I’m The Man” energy in his recent clap back against fat shamers who have criticized his body following his Super Bowl performance. The 46-year-old rapper shocked Halftime Show viewers when he made not only a surprise appearance but a dramatic entrance as he hung upside-down from the ceiling as he sang “In Da Club.” Despite his impressive performance, some haters could only focus on his physique and took to social media to insult him, as documented by New York Post.

50 Cent to shame? Fat chance! The rapper has been mercilessly blasted with fiery fat jokes and body-shaming bombs since Sunday, when he rocked the Super Bowl halftime show with an upside-down performance of “In da Club” — the iconic hanging stunt he debuted in the 2003 video for the smash hit. Despite the 46-year-old’s ability to effortlessly execute the physical feat for fans almost two decades later, cyber critics and wannabe comedians were focused on Fiddy’s apparent weight gain. “50 cent got fat now he a dollar,” tweeted a heckler. “50 Cent out here looking like a FAT BAT,” penned another jeerer, alongside a screenshot of the “Wanksta” rhymer suspended in the air. Timeline trolls even teased the veteran rapper by backhanding him with his renowned “I love you like a fat kid loves cake” lyric from his love ballad “21 Questions.”50 Cent out here looking like a FAT BAT.
