50 Cent teased Tracy Morgan about his courtside medical emergency at the New York Knicks game on Monday. The 56-year-old comedian suffered a bout of food poisoning, causing him to vomit in plain sight at Madison Square Garden, and delaying the game against Miami Heat. Taking to Instagram after the incident, the 49-year-old rapper posted a photo of Morgan mid-throw-up and captioned it, ‘Damn Tracy WTF going on bro.’
He took the opportunity to plug his liquor brand, adding, ‘Too much Branson cognac. LOL.’ While fans weren’t sure what caused Tracy to get sick at the time, he appeared online later to reveal he was on the road to recovery.

The 56-year-old comedian suffered a bout of food poisoning, causing him to vomit in plain sight at Madison Square Garden, and delaying the game against Miami Heat. The 30 Rock star was tended to by medics after he suffered the emergency during the first half of Monday evening’s game, and subsequently taken away in a wheelchair. He took to Instagram from his hospital bed on Tuesday to give concerned fans a positive update.
Morgan wrote: ‘Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning. Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!’ ‘More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs,’ he joked. In the photo, the shirtless comedian — who had electrodes across his chest — gave a thumbs up. Images from fans showed the comedian — who has diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant 15 years ago — vomited near his feet, with the projectile spilling onto the court.
The game, which ended with a 116-95 Knicks victory, was paused for around 10 minutes amid the mishap. While being wheeled out of the arena, Tracy was visibly distressed as he held a towel to his face.

A representative for Madison Square Garden told People after the incident: ‘We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.’ Born in the Bronx, Morgan is a loyal Knicks supporter and is frequent seen supporting the team. Morgan has a long history of diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010. He also survived a near-fatal car accident in 2014 that left him in a coma for eight days. Earlier this month Tracy attended the ninth annual LOVE ROCKS NYC benefit concert For God’s Love We Deliver at Beacon Theatre. He looked to be in good spirts, and was seen smiling and posing for cameras.
