AceShowbiz - Rep. Lauren Boebert has nothing but good things to say about 50 Cent following their flirty interaction. The Colorado Republican has dubbed the rapper "a sweetheart" when addressing her photos with the rapper/actor that sparked dating speculation.
The politician broke her silence on the rumors when she arrived with her family at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday, June 11. In a video obtained by TMZ, a videographer asked her about the speculation brewing from the pictures with Fiddy.
"Oh 50 Cent. What a sweetheart. Praise the Lord," the 37-year-old said, before clarifying, "It was a picture and then he got the Internet which makes it a totally different thing, right? So he just came in to say hi to a lot of legislators. I was one of many."
Asked if she has been invited to one of the "Power" co-creator's concerts, she quickly dismissed it. "No, no, no, no. No concert," she said, explaining, "I don't get time for that. I got work to do."
50 Cent got to meet Lauren during his 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. On June 5, 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."
50 Cent later addressed the photos when met by TMZ in New York City last week. Asked if he could see himself dating Lauren, he said, "I'm not even dating right now." The "In da Club" rhymer then added, "I don't know if it's option to date her. I didn't talk to her."
