50 Cent may have delivered a horrible opening pitch at last week’s New York Mets game, but his excuses are even more embarrassing.
From “excessive masturbation” to being a “hustler,” the rapper (real name: Curtis Jackson), 38, has given seven different reasons why his pitch wasn’t up to par.
Relive the awful excuses below:
-
1. "Excessive masturbation"
“I have a skeletal muscle injury on my left shoulder from excessive masturbation so take it easy lol,” he said during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session.
-
2. "It slipped!"
“The ball slipped, it slipped! There’s no other way to explain it,” he told Page Six during a bash at the Highline Ballroom.
-
3. "I'm a hustler"
“I’m a hustler not a Damn ball player. LMAO,” he captioned a video from the game on Instagram.
-
4. "You can see them moving the plate"
“The sh!t almost hit the cameraman damn, if you look close you can see them moving the plate. lol,” he captioned another video of his wild throw.

5. Blame Curtis, Not 50
“See I was trying to get Curtis to be more like 50 Cent. 50 Cent is a star and Curtis just does things for no reason,” he said during an appearance on “Good Morning America.”
-
6. "I'm not a professional pitcher"
“Oh no, it slipped! It slipped out of my hand. I’m not a professional pitcher, I make music,” the rapper told “Good Morning America” when asked if it was a publicity stunt.

7. "You get nervous"
“It happened to me before. They put pressure on me. You get there and you get nervous. I’m not used to that, I’m not a pitcher,” he said on “Live with Kelly and Michael.”
