( EW.com ) -- Rapper , entrepreneur , actor , and investor Curtis James Jackson III , better known by his stage name 50 Cent , can add a new credit to his bio : God-awful pitcher . The Queens-born rapper threw the first pitch at a Mets game last week , and missed , terribly . We mean really terribly . Really , really terribly . The Internet quickly responded , dubbing Fiddy 's misstep one of the worst pitches ever , if not the worst . In fact , the pitch was so bad that Jackson , known for hits like `` Candy Shop '' and `` In Da Club , '' told Good Morning America that a cop pulled him over just to tell him , `` You know that pitch was really terrible . '' Then , he let him go . No ticket , just a laugh . Is Jackson 's whiff really as bad as Carly Rae Jepsen , Carl Lewis , or Mariah Carey 's attempts at first-pitchdom ? Maybe not , but his explanation certainly was . In a Reddit AMA on Tuesday , a user asked , `` Yo $ 0.50 ... what happened on that first pitch ? '' His response : `` I have skeletal muscle injury on my left shoulder from excessive masturbation so take it easy lol . '' He has to be kidding , right ? You be the judge .
