Did Instagram shut down 50 Cent’s account?
The rapper suddenly went MIA from social media last week, prompting speculation that his antics finally caught up with him. Earlier in the week, he trolled Naturi Naughton by posting a meme of the “Power” star alongside Goro, a character from the video game Mortal Kombat.
But many of his followers including Naughton didn’t find it funny. “@50cent did we have a fight and I not know about it? so confused,” she wrote.
Shortly thereafter, his account was deactivated. “He knew what he did was shady and apologized for it,” Naughton later told Page Six. “He realized it wasn’t the nicest thing to do. I accepted his apology, I’ve moved on.”
Now 50 is addressing his disappearance from Instagram, saying it had nothing to do with the meme. “LOL Im cool with all these false report, if you don’t know why something happens,” said 50, who reposted a screenshot of an erroneous headline. “you can’t just make some shit up smh I turned my own IG page off SUCKERS.”
One fan told him to stay off the ‘Gram until he cleans up his act. “Good BYE!!! Dont go back until you got some manners,” wrote the user, prompting 50’s blunt reply: “Shut up bitch.”
But it looks as though he has no plans to return to Instagram anytime soon. “I like twitter better then IG right now follow me over here,” added 50, whose known for his controversial posts.
When someone addressed the Naughton meme, he defended his actions. “I was sticking up for her, they just went and made some shit up.”
