AceShowbiz - 50 Cent wasn't looking for a girlfriend during his recent trip to Washington D.C. The rapper/actor has hinted that he currently has no interest in throwing himself back to the dating game despite recent rumors linking him to Rep. Lauren Boebert.
The 48-year-old was met by TMZ in New York City when he attended an event to promote the final season of "Power Book II: Ghost". Stepping out of a building while seemingly making a call on his phone, he was asked if he could see himself dating Lauren.
To that question, the "In da Club" hitmaker said, "I'm not even dating right now," as he continued walking to an awaiting car. Once he's in the car, he rolled down the window to add, "I don't know if it's option to date her. I didn't talk to her."
In the short interview, 50 Cent also briefly addressed Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' legal issue. Asked if he thinks his nemesis will be sent to jail, he simply responded, "I think he's in trouble."
Through his Instagram page, 50 Cent also commented on people's reaction to his photo with Lauren. "Wait, wait, guys i took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren," he wrote.
"What did she do in a dark theater that hasn't been done, my God !" he exclaimed, joking about her handsy date in a public place which was captured on camera in October 2023. The "Power" co-creator added, "Hey I don't have chlamydia by the way. LOL."
50 Cent met with Lauren during his recent trip to Washington D.C. with civil rights attorney Ben Crump as part of their mission to get black people more representation in the country's booming alcohol industry. There, he met lawmakers and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
Following their meeting, Lauren posted their picture on her Instagram page. "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!" Lauren wrote in the caption, dropping a reference to his No. 1 hit "21 Questions".
Fiddy then shared a different but similar image from their meeting and captioned the snap, "Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house look good."
When in D.C., 50 Cent, who voiced support for Donald Trump earlier this year, was asked about which candidate he was backing in the 2024 election. He said he hadn't made up his mind about who he's going to vote for yet, but told CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion that he believed black men were "identifying with Trump" because "they've got RICO charges [too]."
