Others thought he was too quick to poke fun at Morgan’s misfortune. “Damn 50, already? Let him breathe for one second,” another fan wrote.
Despite the initial shock, Morgan handled the incident in his signature comedic style. He reassured fans via Instagram, explaining that food poisoning was to blame. “Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!” Morgan posted.
He even found a silver lining, joking that the Knicks were now 1-0 when he vomited on the court. “Maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs,” he added with a laughing emoji.
While Morgan appears to have fully recovered, his next visit to Madison Square Garden might come with a side of home-cooked meals instead. As for 50 Cent, his sharp humor remains as unfiltered as ever.
