‘That’s the Love Boat’: 50 Cent Posts a Racy Message About Lizzo, and Their Fans Are Here For It

Are 50 Cent and Lizzo hip-hop’s latest It couple? Not quite, but some of their fans may want them to be after the G-Unit boss sent a titillating message.

On Monday, 50 tweeted a clip of the “Truth Hurts” singer on her hands and knees twerking in a tight red outfit. It was a post that she uploaded to her Instagram page that same day, which has already been viewed over 2 million times. “Pepper is just dry hot sauce” 🔥 wrote Lizzo next to the video.

And when 50 shared it, he included a flirtatious message. “Now that’s the love boat. I’m not saying you can’t Handel it, but you can’t Handel it. Big sexy,” he tweeted.

In the comments, besides people getting at 50 for his spelling of “handle,” they answered his question about whether they could handle Lizzo or not and most said they could.

And others, both men and women, gave the pop star plenty of compliments, while they also expressed how much they admire her.

“She fine af,” one person wrote.

“Any man who appreciates big sexy is a man I appreciate,” someone else tweeted.

“Yes my sister from another mister @lizzo is very beautiful!” wrote a third person.

Meanwhile, the Detroit born-artist racked up two trophies at the 2019 Soul Train Awards on Sunday. She won Video of the Year for the “Juice” clip, while her album “Cuz I Love You” got Album/Mixtape of the Year.

Other winners included Summer Walker for Best New Artist, H.E.R. for Best R&B/Soul Female Artist, Khalid for Best R&B/Soul Male Artist and Chris Brown and Drake‘s “No Guidance” won Song of the Year.

Lizzo hasn’t responded to 50’s flirtatious post yet, but the comments keep rolling in.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
