In a tribute to hip hop, the Super Bowl halftime show Sunday night was a major event that brought everyone together on social media. While Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg generated positive responses to their performances, 50 Cent‘s surprise rendition of “In Da Club” left the biggest mark, sparking countless memes across the internet.
In a reference to the 2003 music video for the song, a #1 Billboard hit, 50 Cent appeared upside down in his surprise entrance on Sunday night as the crowd cheered. While the rapper received plenty of praise, he also got the official meme treatment with many taking the shot of him upside down and running with it.
Fans likened him waiting for his cue to various images of Spider-Man crawling on the ceiling. Others also compared him hanging upside down to what it looks like when you lose a phone charger under your bed.
Check out some of the funniest memes below:
50 joined in the fun, reposting memes and adding his own captions to the viral posts. He wrote on Instagram, “waiting for @snoopdogg and Dre like ok who’s idea was it for me to be upside down again?”
50 also received major love from celebrities who were attending the game. In a viral video, LeBron James was seen jamming out during 50 Cent’s performance, which 50 also reposted.
