The hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, took to the micro-blogging site on Friday to partake his shock over the natural disasters and break his plans to leave Los Angeles, after the total U.S.
west coast and countries in the Pacific Rim were set on tsunami alert.
In a serial of posts, he wrote, "Man I hate to say this but the man is forthcoming to a end. Look at japan tell the masses you measure you know them. US west coast TUSNAMI (sic) watch f**k this I'm going back to new york."
But 50 Cent's tone soon shifted and he sparked controversy online when he appeared to give short of the situation.
He continued, "Hawaii under a watch this s**t is crazy. I can't swim. Now they are saying they acknowledge it's gonna hit the west coast damn.
"Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing. Look this is really good people I had to evacuate all my hoe's from LA,Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol (laugh out loud)."
The messages prompted a recoil from some of his four million Twitter fans, who branded him "an a**hole" and "insensitive" for joking about the Japanese tragedy, prompting 50 to prevail in his sarcasm.
In a final post near the quake and tsunami, he added, "Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let's pray for anyone who has lost someone.
"Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or know it. I'm cool either way."
Kelly Osbourne appears to be among those appalled by his comments, taking to her Twitter account on Monday to scold, "its truly disgusting that people r making jokes about whats going on in Japan not 2 mention posting videos thanking god. it makes me sick!"
