50 Cent might actually have a million-dollar heart.
Less than two weeks before he earned near-universal wrath for harassing an autistic airport janitor, the “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” rapper paid a special bedside visit to a disabled fan in Philadelphia, the Daily News learned Friday.
Chris Brown, 36, who held his wedding at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel on April 23, learned the hip-hop artist was on the premises after a well-timed text from a friend during his groomsmen's breakfast. He sprinted out and managed to persuade Fiddy to visit his chronically ill bed-bound brother, Justin Brown, he told The News.
"I walked into Justin’s hotel room probably about 11:30, and who was sitting next to Justin on the couch but 50 Cent," Chris, who lives in Chattanooga, Tenn., said. "It was the best wedding gift I could have ever imagined."
The rapper stuck around for an hour and a half chatting with his devotee about music.
"50 Cent talked to Justin just like a regular person," Chris said. "He was amazing with my brother."
News of the rapper's act of kindness first surfaced on TMZ just one day after he made a $100,000 donation to Autism Speaks, a mea culpa for heckling Andrew Farrell, a worker at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
The “Hate It or Love It” rapper had posted a video to Instagram and Twitter Sunday that showed him mocking 19-year-old Farrell, who suffers from hearing impairment and social anxiety, for supposedly being “high as a motherf--ker.”
He later apologized and made the magnanimous cash gift amid pressure from Farrell's family — all the more significant given his ongoing bankruptcy woes.
Chris said he came forward with his story after seeing the "bad press" Fiddy had racked up from his autism controversy.
"I did not in any way support what he had done," he told The News. "But I wanted to make sure that people knew that there are some really positive things that he’s done as well."
He recently dropped No Romeo No Juliet feat. Chris Brown. Listen to it below:
