50 Cent is back doing what he does best: trolling.
The “Candy Shop” rapper jokingly called out Tracy Morgan on Monday for throwing up at the New York Knicks game.
“Damn Tracy WTF going on bro,” 50 Cent, 49, captioned a photo on Instagram of Morgan puking courtside, joking that the comedian may have had “too much” of his cognac brand, Branson.
However, Morgan, 56, later revealed the real reason for his medical emergency.
“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning,” he wrote via Instagram on Tuesday alongside a photo in the hospital.
The stand-up legend thanked his “family” at Madison Square Garden for “taking such good care” of him and also gave a shout-out to the crew on clean-up duty.
“More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs 😅 #goknicks,” he jokingly added.
Morgan was taken out of the New York City arena in a wheelchair during the third quarter of Monday night’s game.
Photos and videos shared on X showed the “30 Rock” alum hunched over and vomiting as a friend tried to console him.
The two were seated courtside, causing a 10-minute delay in the Knicks’ matchup against the Miami Heat.
Morgan was surrounded by medics and staff members, who gave him a towel to wipe his face after he stopped barfing.
Eyewitnesses claimed the actor “could barely stand up” before being escorted out of the venue.
While reps for Morgan did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment, a spokesperson for MSG said they hope he “feels better soon” and “look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
Although 50 Cent poked fun at the situation, other celebs also wished Morgan well.
“Sending good thoughts to Tracy Morgan 💙,” fellow die-hard Knicks fan Ben Stiller wrote on X.
“Prayers up for TracyMorgan 🙏,” NFL star Robert Griffin III added. “Threw up courtside watching the Knicks and Heat play and then was taken off in a wheel chair.”
Knicks star Josh Hart also told reporters that he hoped “everything’s good with Tracy Morgan.”
“[He’s an] avid, lifetime Knick fan so prayers go out to him and his health and safety,” the shooting guard added.
Morgan has dealt with serious health issues over the years. In 2010, he underwent a kidney transplant due to his decades-long battle with diabetes.
Four years later, he sustained life-threatening injuries after a semi truck plowed into his car. The accident left him in coma for eight days and killed his co-rider and friend, James McNair, known as Jimmy Mack.
Morgan later revealed the accident had left him with a brain injury, causing occasional “headaches” and “nose bleeds.”
