50 Cent continues to throw his support behind the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals after seemingly turning his back on his hometown New York Knicks.
Fiddy was a frequent sight courtside as the Knicks lost to the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals but now appears to have switched allegiances.
After the Pacers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 108-91 to level the Finals at 3-3, 50 posted an A.I. assisted picture of himself on Instagram wearing an Indiana jersey as well as a Finals winner’s ring.
He wrote in the caption: “Can you say momentum. Yeah can’t beat them when they all balling ! I KNOW YOU MAD, MAD ITS OK. Fvck you 50 LOL.”
In another post, 50 uploaded a picture of a number of discarded Knicks jerseys and revealed why he was now backing the Pacers: “New York yes I’m from New York, but I can’t lose my whole life. FVCK THAT take this sh!t back, I’m a Winner!”
50 was previously blamed by Ja Rule for the Knicks not making it to the NBA Finals.
In a post on X, Ja wrote: “Man I knew my Knicks was gonna lose as soon as I seen that black cat (rat) in the building….”
50 also used his constant courtside presence to squash his beef with Joe Budden.
50, who was sat next to Fat Joe, was spotted on the arena’s jumbotron and eagle eyed fans realized that Budden was sat behind them.
While fans initially speculated what came of the encounter, 50 quickly clarified that all was good between the two.
He posted the viral image of the two of them on the big screen and wrote on Instagram: “I ran into Joe at the game he said I don’t need Therapy No MORE!”
A fan also took a picture of 50 and Budden enjoying a warm embrace at the game though the podcasting star has yet to comment on the apparent reconciliation.
The two had been going back and forth ever since 50 mocked the death of Irv Gotti, something Budden found to be in bad taste and he told the rapper and actor that he needed to go to therapy.
