Previously, Paul Pierce was seen in a viral video getting a haircut while strippers danced almost naked around him. Along with that, Pierce was reportedly seen smoking weed. While many laughed at the video, ESPN didn’t take too kindly to the visuals, which reportedly resulted in Pierce being let go as an ESPN NBA analyst.

Now, 50 Cent has chimed in with his thoughts on Pierce’s viral video, laughing at the former basketball player in the process. 50 posted the video of Pierce on IG Live with a stripper behind him, and in the caption, he said “😆Paul don’t give a f**k, He said they gonna fire me LOL.” Take a look above.

According to reports, Paul Pierce will no longer be an ESPN NBA analyst after a viral Instagram Live session caught the attention of many, including his employers at ESPN (and their parent company, Disney). 

Before the split, Pierce was a commentator on The Jump and NBA Countdown. Pierce took to Twitter after the news broke and seemed to be in good spirits. While it's not immediately clear if this was in response to the news, he appeared unbothered.
