Rapper and actor 50 Cent is taking some heat after posting about the Beirut explosion on Instagram.
On Tuesday, the city of Beirut in Lebanon was rocked by a massive explosion on the coast that has killed over 100 people, left over 4,000 injured and has caused massive damage to the surrounding area.
Footage of the explosion circulated online throughout the day, which the "Candy Shop" rapper, 45, shared on social media.

Alongside a video, he wrote, "The f--k they had in there #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi."
The hashtags, which the rapper -- born Curtis James Jackson III -- includes on most of his posts, contain the names of two alcohol brands: Branson cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi, both of which he is involved with.
Social media users took to the comments section, slamming the star's caption.
"YOU SHOULD BE POSTING HOW PEOPLE CAN DONATE TO THIS DISASTER VS. ASKING WHATS IN THERE," one person said. "GOD BLESS THOSE FAMILIES."
