Everyone seems to be struggling with ways to fill their time during the coronavirus quarantine that doesn’t have to do with eating snacks and gaining weight.
50 Cent admitted he’s worried people won’t make “adjustments” to their lifestyles while stuck in quarantine and gain weight during an interview with WSJ’s “My Monday Morning.”
“This is day five, right here,” 50 Cent said of his quarantine experience. “I feel there are no safer options out here. There’s not much. I guess when I want to go to the gym I’ll go to a track and I’ll just run outside. Still, you know what they say, keep your social distance. Being conscious of that.”
“But a lot of people are not making adjustments, so they’re just going to sit home and they’re going to get fat,” he told the outlet. “They’ll get fat.”
50 Cent isn’t the only one who is worried about gaining the COVID-15 while stuck in quarantine for an extended amount of time, all of Twitter is worried as well.
