50 Cent doubles down on mocking Terry Crews' sexual assault claim
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rapper 50 Cent doubled down on his controversial remarks about Terry Crews’ sexual assault claim Thursday.
The hip-hop star, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, tweeted a picture of himself lying on his couch, saying he was recovering “from having his sense of humor removed.”
50 Cent was blasted by fans Wednesday after posting a meme mocking Crews over the actor’s sexual assault claim. The meme showed a picture of Crews flexing with the words “I got raped” and “My wife just watched” above a picture of Crews holding a rose in his mouth with the words “Gym time.”

The actor told the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier Tuesday that he declined a role in “Expendables 4” after being pressured by the film’s producer to drop a sexual assault lawsuit against his former agency.
“It was a project I had to turn down,” Crews told a group of lawmakers. “Abusers protect abusers and this is one thing I had to decide whether I was going to draw the line.”
