Rapper 50 Cent put in his two cents on Terry Crews’ Capitol Hill testimony about being sexually assaulted ― and it amounted to nothing but a cheap shot at the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor.
The hip-hop performer’s now-deleted Instagram post featured a photo of a shirtless Crews accompanied by the words, “I got raped. My wife just watched.” Another picture showed Crews with a rose in his mouth next to the caption, “Gym time.”
“LOL, What the fuck is going on out here man?” 50 Cent commented.
Crews spoke before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in support of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights. He has accused talent agent Adam Venit of groping him at a party in 2016. Crews told the committee that he didn’t physically fight back because resorting to violence could cost him his career ― and even his freedom.

“As a black man in America, you only have a few shots at success,” he said. “You only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. ... I have seen many, many young black men who were provoked into violence, and they were in prison, or they were killed.”
The powerfully built Crews, a former NFL player, shrugged off the rapper’s Instagram scorn, telling TMZ, “I proved that size doesn’t matter when it comes to sexual assault.”
Deadline noted that 50 Cent has used controversial posts in the past to gain publicity for his projects.
Representatives for 50 Cent did not immediately respond to a HuffPost request for comment.
“I was tattooed by a guy and while he was tattooing me, he kept inserting his fingers up my vagina. He said he had to keep his hand there to keep the skin taut for tattooing. The most ironic part is that the tattoo is the symbol for female; I wanted the tattoo as a sign of feminism and got sexually assaulted in the process.”
"It happens unwillingly."
“I can't remember details or the order of things, but she was very, very aggressive. She left bruises all over me and I was bleeding the next morning. She held me down and forced a lot. I didn't say no clearly, but I definitely didn't agree to the aggressive actions she took. Lack of consent is not the presence of a no, it's also the absence of a yes.”
"It happens anywhere."
“I lost my virginity at a party when I was in middle school. He gave me a drink and I can’t really remember what happened after that. Just bits and pieces for the most part... but I couldn’t say no or push him off while he made me have sex with him. I woke up next to him and I was really sore but i couldn’t tell anyone what happened.”
"It happens suddenly."
“I blacked out and just remember very short flashing images… I remember him asking me if I was on birth control, but I was too incoherent to talk. I was trying to explain that I wasn't. We had sex anyway. I didn't want to and I barely remember it."
"It happens to anyone."
“When I was in high school, the only place to live for me was my uncle's place. I thought I could trust them, but there were nights when I would wake up to one of them, the biological one, in my room, or he would sneakily try to touch my junk. I never really resolved it.”
"It happens unexpectedly."
“I was at a party once, sober, and two of my good female friends pulled me aside, telling me that someone needed help. They pulled me into this room and pinned me against the wall and started kissing me and taking my pants off, but I was able to push them off and leave. The two girls who were my friends claim that they don't remember the incident since they were drunk.”
"It happens without reason."
“We had been drinking and, by the end of the night, I had lost all control. I was falling in and out of consciousness. I remember waking up with him on top of me but I kept passing back out before I could do anything about it. I always thought it was my fault for getting too drunk.”
