Cut the guy some slack. There is a reason Curtis Jackson is 50 cent and not a pitcher. The world now knows that reason, as it was made pretty clear Tuesday night.
Jackson was set to throw the first pitch at Citi Field for the Mets/Pirates game. Either someone did not inform him that the goal is to throw to the Mets catcher, not the cameraman, or his arm momentarily detached from his shoulder. The pitch he threw ended up headed way left, almost taking out a camera man. After the embarrassing pitch made its way around the internet, 50 cent tried to play it cool by blaming Curtis Jackson.
He told reporter Kevin Burkhardt, “Curtis Jackson, I don’t know what’s wrong with him.” Perhaps he did not want to be compared to Carly Rae Jepsen when it comes to “worst” anything. He continued to try to play it cool posting on Instagram, “I’m a hustler not a Damn ball player. LMAO.” Again, asking musicians to throw out the first pitch in the game, you know they’re not going to be professionals. Maybe the game is to see how bad they actually are and prove they picked a solid profession due to their lack of athletic ability?
