50 Cent clarifies he ‘doesn’t have chlamydia’ after viral photo with Lauren Boebert

A word of advice to members of Congress: If you’ve recently been embroiled in scandal, maybe don’t ask for photos with celebrities when they visit Capitol Hill.

That was a lesson Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado learned on Wednesday evening after she posed for a photo earlier in the day — at her request — with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, the Grammy-winning rapper and producer. Jackson was on Capitol Hill along with civil rights attorney Ben Crump to meet with members of the Congressional Black Caucus about Black representation in the liquor industry (Jackson is the owner of Sire Spirits, which sells cognacs).

Boebert, who quoted 50 Cent’s 2003 hit Would You Still Love Me, shared the snap with Jackson on social media after his visit.

“I’d still love you if you flipped burgers at Burger King @50Cent, I used to do that myself! Thanks for the photo, great to meet you!” she wrote in the caption on X, formerly Twitter.

But the photo really blew up when 50 Cent shared it in a social media post that almost immediately went viral thanks to his flirty caption about the far-right House Republican.

“Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house look good,” he wrote, adding a sly-looking emoji at the end. The post received 53,000 likes and more than 4m impressions overall. The congresswoman was among those who retweeted Jackson’s post.
