Rapper 50 Cent trolled the video of Michael Jordan hugging Mary J. Blige, and he had jokes. The performer had some light-hearted fun on Feb. 23 with the video on social media, and fans approved.

Basketball superstar and former Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan got cozy on the court as he hugged Blige, and a video of the greeting went viral as people noted the tender look Jordan gave the “Mr. Wrong” singer. It also seemed like Jordan copped a feel of Mary J. Blige‘s behind.

The greeting between the R&B singer and Jordan occurred in Cleveland at the 71st NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 20 at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

50 Cent took to social media to have fun with the video and joked that Jordan palmed the ball with a picture of a the booty grab and a shocked Denzel Washington looking on.

“All Star weekend 👀MJ & MJB, he palm the ball 🏀LOL @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi @bottlerover,” he wrote.

The “In Da Club” singer also posted a still shot of the video of Jordan embracing Blige looking particularly lovingly at each other. “See just when we thought it was all fvcked up. [laughing crying emoji] LOL @bransoncognac #lecheminduroi @bottlerover.”

Fans appreciated the jokes and also had fun with the video on social media. One fan wrote, “MJ knows a real woman when he sees one. MJB has been one of the flyest.”

Another Twitter user wrote, “MJ: ‘I’m leavin here wit sumn! I’m from around the way, I’m LEAVING here wit sumn!'”

“I see you guys out there handling Those Franchises,” wrote another fan.

Another fan noted that Jordan had big hands, so he couldn’t help but to cuff the cake. “When u have big hands, you inadvertently cuff the the cake once in a while.”

Blige and 50 Cent performed together at the Super Bowl, and it appears the two have nothing but love and respect for each other. The rapper also shared footage of Blige speaking about her new album on Twitter with a caption, and the singer thanked 50 for the opportunity to act on “Power Book II: Ghost.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
