OH, HELLO, REASON WORDS WERE INVENTED. It’s just my favorite story of all of life. As you may or may not know, Aziz Ansari famously tells a story in which he sat near 50 Cent in a restaurant and the rapper didn’t know what a grapefruit was. After a long, long silence, the rapper has finally SPOKEN OUT TO CLEAR HIS NAME.
During a Reddit AMA on Tuesday, the rapper finally addressed the subject:
“my grandma used to get me grapefruit juice as a kid. he’s a comedian. Ima have his ass whoop if he keeps saying that lol.”
That’s not saying much, unfortunately, as 50 Cent similarly joked about another one of his meme-ed moments — his miserable pitch at the New York Mets game. “I have a skeletal muscle injury on my left shoulder from excessive masturbation so take it easy lol,” he wrote.

Karen Tracy, the sister of deceased Bachelorette contestant Eric Hill, says that watching him on TV “makes me smile.”
In a first-person account for Today.com, Hill’s sibling Karen Tracy said she sees The Bachelorette as a “unique opportunity to watch him live on, and watch the world get to know him” every week. “In some ways, it’s only fitting that he is defying death in this way,” she explained. “My brother always thought bigger and dreamed bigger than anyone I have ever known.”
…”People ask if it’s difficult to watch him on the show, and I do get a little nervous until I see the handsome brother that I know and love,” she said of Hill, who was sent home by Andi Dorfman after a contentious final conversation during the June 2 episode. “My family — my parents and my four other brothers — have all grown used to watching Eric onscreen. He always posted videos of his travels on his site and shared them with us on visits.”
