DHAKA: 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, threw what could well be the worst first pitch in the history of baseball.

The 38 year-old music mogul botched the ceremonial first pitch at the New York Mets game this past Tuesday.

The attempted throw was branded ‘terrible’ and ‘one of the worst first pitches of all time’ by several sports commentators.

But now the rapper is trying to shake off the humiliation of it all, and during an appearance on ‘Good Morning America Friday, he explained what actually happened’.

‘It slipped! It slipped out of my hand,’ Jackson revealed, claiming he didn’t do it purposely. ‘I’m not a professional pitcher, I make music’.

Footage of the infamous pitch quickly spread, and even the NYPD couldn’t resist taking jab at him about it, reports contactmusic.com.
