50 Cent is weighing in on the viral cheating scandal that has taken over the internet.

The rapper combined his affinity for trolling and AI, leaving fans “screaming” and “hollering” with an AI-generated video he shared to his Instagram page. The parody video features a lookalike of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron tossing a woman to the side and running away with the caption, “LOL WHAT HE WISH HE COULD HAVE DONE!”

A “kiss cam” video has been circulating online of the exec embracing a woman, who has been identified as his coworker Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert. Since then, the story has evolved into a full-blown scandal.

The original features Andy and Kristen locked in an embrace as the camera pans over to them, projecting them onto the jumbotron, prompting both to quickly duck and hide their faces from view. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin seemed baffled by the response, joking, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

As it turns out, the two concertgoers were quickly identified by internet sleuths, exposing their alleged affair. Andy’s wife deleted her Facebook account after the video went viral.

The G-Unit founder is known for his internet trolling and his use of AI-generated content, including his incessant ridicule of disgraced rap mogul P. Diddy during his sex trafficking and racketeering trial using doctored images and videos.

The video he shared with his 35.5 million followers features the CEO tossing his supposed lover to the side and running away. It racked up over 250,000 views in five hours and has over 10,000 comments, with the comment section flooded with multiple laughing emojis.

“50 got no chill for ANYONE,” one Instagram user wrote, with another chiming in, “You wild with this one.” Other comments include, “Internet is undefeated and moves quicker than him running in AI,” “This AI edit is wild crazy,” and “Savage….. and I love it!!!!”

It turns out that AI has been at the center of the story, as the company that the two at the center of the drama work for deals in AI technology. An AI-generated statement also circulated online, supposedly from the CEO, which turned out to be a hoax.

After the alleged affair was exposed, Astronomer released a statement on LinkedIn announcing that it would launch a formal investigation into the incident. “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the statement read.

“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
