Joe Biden visited his Delaware beach home on the weekend and after photographs of the trip circulated on social media, rapper 50 Cent called out the president for vacationing as conflict continues between Israel and Hamas.
50 Cent pleas Joe Biden for help as president flies to Delaware
On Sunday (October 22), 50 Cent posted a screenshot of a news report showing President and First Lady Biden tanning on a beach. The headline read: “Biden hits the beach with Middle East, Congress in chaos.”
The rapper captioned his Instagram upload: “Hey Joe get the fvck up, we in trouble man!”
This original article is slightly misleading as the image used dates back to July 30, 2023, not October. However, it is true that the Bidens arrived at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Friday night. The couple’s schedule included attending mass at St Edmond Catholic Church on Saturday, and a beach day on Sunday.
Local reports also published images of Biden eating breakfast at Egg, a restaurant in Rehoboth Beach.
50 Cent followed his initial post with three more screenshots blasting Biden’s brief break.
“We got some real s*** going on out here Joe,” he wrote on Monday morning. “What’s the plan to get a tan and chill come on now?”
The third post, which was also published on Twitter, read: “Ok we need leadership in crisis Joe, we don’t expect you to have all the answers but you gotta come up with something.”

The White House defends Biden’s beach getaway
White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates has responded to Biden’s scrutiny in defense: “As has been the case for the better part of a century, presidents can execute the full range of their duties from anywhere in the world – whether it’s a war zone in Israel or 100 miles from the White House in Delaware,” he told Newsweek.
Bates later took to Twitter to retweet a message highlighting Joe Biden’s Sunday accomplishments regarding the Middle Eastern war. The White House also issued individual readouts of Biden’s communications with Netanyahu and Pope Francis.
