Fans are slamming Nick Cannon for his controversial comments about 50 Cent’s weight.
The “Wild ’N Out” host received backlash after he reacted to a recent interview in which the rapper’s ex-girlfriend Vivica A. Fox said she would be open to dating 50 Cent again.
“You can, like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago,” Cannon, 42, said to co-hosts Mason Moussette and Courtney Bee during Friday’s episode of “The Daily Cannon” podcast.
“[Now] he look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck,” Cannon went on, noting that the younger 50 Cent looks a lot “different” to the “fat” 47-year-old today.
“You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.”
The rapper, born Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has not publicly responded to Cannon’s remark.
For more Page Six you love …
Page Six has reached out to his rep for comment.
Fox, 58, dated the “21 Questions” hitmaker in the early 2000s. She recently said she would be open to giving love another shot with him.
“Ben [Affleck] and Jen [Jennifer Lopez] did it, why not?” she said on Sherri Shepherd’s eponymous talk show last week.
“I’m looking for a partner. Someone that’s fun, got their own identity, their own money. I’m not trying to be a sugar mama,” she went on.
Cannon’s fans were quick to criticize him after he offered his own thoughts on 50 Cent’s current appearance.
“Hating on a man and being a chatty patty with women is nasty,” one person commented on the podcast clip.
“Calling him fat don’t change the fact 50 is 50 and you are just you,” another user wrote.
“Nick a brave soul for this,” a third person chimed in. “He know once he get 50 started, it won’t stop. Ima sit back and wait for it.”
Cannon is no stranger to controversy, having come under fire two weeks ago for his bizarre comment about “impregnating” current WWE champion Bianca Belair.
The TV personality, who shares 12 children with six women, verbally sparred with the pro wrestler during an episode of “Wild ‘N Out” in May.
“There’s a couple of guys who were up to no good, they starting making trouble in my neighborhood,” Cannon’s rap began, which was set to the tune of the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme song.
“I get in one little fight, my mom got scared. Because I wanted to impregnate Bianca Belair.”
The athlete, 34, attempted to laugh off the inappropriate comment while standing beside her husband and fellow WWE star, Montez Ford.
“Nick Cannon is so disgusting with his behavior,” one person tweeted, while another chimed in, “I know my ears deceive me ain’t no way nick cannon said he wanted to get Bianca pregnant @BiancaBelairWWE that’s a threat girl contact the authorities.”
