So 50 Cent is finally back on Instagram, and his 25 million followers must be ecstatic. But, as expected, he’s back on his bullshit. 

Here is how 50 Cent announced his comeback on the social media platform.

After deactivating his account, 50 wasted no time in absolutely flooding his feed with posts and updates. One post in this absolute torrential downpour was a transphobic meme aimed at former G-Unit rapper, Young Buck.

50 has flooded his feed with posts, including a transphobic meme aimed at former G-Unit rapper, Young Buck. Young Buck’s ex-girlfriend was a transgender woman, and this isn’t the first time that 50 cent has made unsavoury remarks about trans people, so are we really shocked?

In the photo, a man is seen posing with a transgender woman alongside the words: “He Doesn’t Know Yet.” 50 captioned the image with: “buck type shit, nah he know. LOL.”

50 Cent then went on to publicly lust over Lizzo in another post, writing “@lizzobeeating booty look good, I just saw @champagnepapi (Drake) looking at it.”

We can’t really act surprised at this behaviour, but we can’t exactly just allow it to pass because of who is writing these words.

Now that he’s back on IG, don’t be surprised if 50 makes up for the lost time by posting with more grossly timed jokes and promotional material.

A few weeks ago, when fans were speculating as to why the rapper’s Instagram went down in the first place, 50 reminded his followers that he’s the master of his own destiny. In a tweet containing an article that claims he was banned from Instagram for trolling actress Naturi Naughton, 50 Cent explained that this (and similar reports) should be categorized as false. In actuality, he deactivated his own account.

“LOL Im cool with all these false report, if you don’t know why something happens you can’t just make some shit up,” 50 Cent wrote. “smh I turned my own IG page off SUCKERS.”
