50 Cent is doubling down on his flirty photo with controversial Republican Lauren Boebert.

While the congresswoman is known to get in on at the theater - making headlines for getting kicked out of a live musical when she and her boyfriend got too handsy in the audience - she and 50 Cent got close during his visit to the White House.

On Wednesday, the rapper mingled with both Republicans and Democrats during his trip to Washington, DC. However, it was his picture with Boebert that turned heads on social media.

The photo shows the G-Unit mogul standing in an office with his arm wrapped around the Colorado politician's waist, saying that she makes the "White House look good."

"Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the White House look good," the rapper said, accompanying the picture with a flirty winky-face emoji.

50 Cent was slammed in the comments section for getting close to Boebert, who is known for spreading dark QAnon conspiracy theories, opposing LGBTQ+ rights and same-sex marriage, and has made disparaging comments about Muslims.

"Why anyone would want to associate themselves with this type of a woman is beyond me," a comment that has amassed over 10,000 likes read.

"But why would you even take a picture with this embarrassment to Congress," another comment read.

While some referred to the musician as a "sell out," others pointed out that due to his wealth, 50 Cent is in the top 1%. Therefore, they theorize that he goes unaffected by Boebert's rulings and the lawmakers that she endorses.

"As a person who lives in Colorado, I disapprove of this message. Especially cause she's KKK affiliated but you do you 50. You rich anyway and don't have to worry about us people of ethnicity living in Colorado," a reply said.

The "In Da Club" hitmaker responded to the backlash by referencing Boebert's infamous trip to the musical Beetlejuice. After disruptive behavior throughout the performance, she was seen groping and committing sexual acts with her date to the show while in the audience.

"Wait, wait, guys i took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren what did she do in a dark theater that hasn't been done, my God," he said, HipHopDX reports. "Hey I don't have chlamydia by the way. LOL."

The 48-year-old did take pictures with other political figures. While he posed with a fair share of Republicans, he did post photos with notable Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Joyce Beatty of Ohio, Troy Carter (D) from Louisiana, and Nikema Williams from Georgia.

The "I Get Money" hitmaker was in town for the Congressional Black Caucus. While there, he planned to discuss how Suntory Global Spirits had embezzled millions of dollars from his Sire Spirits brand after copious amounts of unpaid invoices. Joined by attorney Ben Crump, he was advocating for more Black ownership in the alcoholic spirits industry.
