Rapper 50 Cent seems to have joined—or very possibly not— an ever-growing list of celebrities who look ... well ... different. Like Oprah’s stunning weight transformation at nearly 70 years old, and let’s not forget the changing looks of Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Anthony Anderson, Sheryl Underwood and many more, 50 Cent definitely looks ... well ... different. And that’s just fine by us.

In an instagram post shared over the weekend, the G-Unit rapper looks like a million dollars—though 50 is obviously worth a lot more—wearing an iced out double cuban chain and cross, a silk blue and gold blazer, posing next to a bottle of Branson VSOP in a wine cellar.

Fiddy captioned the photo with, “I’m focused man, practicing abstinence is helping me train harder. I feel great I think more people should try it. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

When he’s not making hit shows like “Power,” 50 Cent has been known to hit below the belt at times on social media. He definitely has a thing for talking about Madonna and her body. Well, now the tables have turned and everyone is looking at his body and wondering what’s his secret.

“What happened to your muscles???” wrote one commentator on another photo.

Listen, the world may never know why or how 50 Cent and other celebrities have managed to change their looks so quickly. Their bodies, their choices. All we can say is that he looks ... well ... different—a far cry from the usually buff 50 Cent we are used to seeing. And that’s just fine.
