Rapper 50 Cent is still complaining about the NYPD on Instagram — and still urging his 18.1 million followers to “get the strap,” the very same gun-slang phrase that got him in hot water as an alleged cop-threatener.
“Every time you see NYPD tell them I said they f–king up the summer. LOL get the strap,” Fitty posted Thursday.
The post ran with a parody video featuring the now-shuttered Brooklyn club, “Love and Lust.”
Fitty got in trouble last week for urging his legion of followers to “Get the strap” in response to news accounts that a Sunset Park precinct boss was allegedly squeezing the club’s owner for free stuff.
“Strap” is street slang for gun. The post prompted a flurry of threatening responses against the precinct boss, Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez, who quickly filed a harassment complaint against Fitty that remains under investigation.
Fitty has since taken that post down.
But he has insisted through his reps that “Get the strap” is a “playful” catch-phrase that he uses so often, he’s even applied to have it federally trademarked.
He’s continuing to punctuate his posts with “Get the strap — “ though in the last week he’s made sure to add an “LOL.”
