Rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to Instagram on Sunday to flex his body transformation and basically credit those who fat-shamed him when he performed at the Super Bowl in 2022.
Jackson, 48, received an onslaught of “fat jokes” when he recreated his iconic “In Da Club” music video during halftime at the big game two years ago alongside Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The bullying seemingly inspired him to lose weight.

50 Cent’s Super Bowl halftime show
When 50 Cent first entered the music industry, he was known for showing off his muscles, especially in the video that sees him hang upside down while wearing a beater.
Seeing him in that same position at the Super Bowl inspired countless trolls to bully him on social media. Usher will perform at this year’s big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
