Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has refuted any speculation about a romantic liaison with rapper 50 Cent following the emergence of a photo which some deemed to be flirtatious, shared widely online.
The picture in question captured Boebert placing her hand on the rapper’s chest while he looked at her smilingly during a gathering. This image led to viral speculation proposing a romance between them.
Boebert quickly clarified the situation, explaining that their interaction was purely platonic. “50 Cent and I share a common friend and we both attended the same function,” she explained to the media. “We just took a photo together and unfortunately, it has been taken out of context. We are merely friends and there’s nothing more happening.”
50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, also chimed in to quell the rumors by sharing his perspective online. On his Twitter, he stated, “For clarity, Lauren Boebert and I are just friends. It was just a fun photo that has now been overly sensationalized. Everyone needs to calm down!”
Despite these clarifications, some enthusiasts continue to speculate, drawn by the seemingly intimate nature of the photograph and their friendly interactions online. Nonetheless, without further confirmation from either individual involved, the whispers of their relationship remain baseless.
