However, the 46-year-old American superstar was also taunted on social media over his physical appearance, with fans specifically mocking 50 Cent over his weight.
50 Cent initially laughed off the reaction to his appearance by posting a meme on Instagram of where he had been replaced with American rapper Bizarre from D12.
“Who the f**k did this?” he wrote as the caption, adding eyes and angry face emojis in his post.
The former G-Unit kingpin took to Twitter on Thursday to brush aside criticism over his physique during his stunning cameo at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
“I call this teasing me, they’re just teasing me because they know I can drop the weight,” 50 Cent tweeted.
“That’s why I laugh with them. Fat-shaming only applies when [you’re] ashamed of your fat. LOL.”
