"Denied Wow they called me to interview with @ErinAndrews,we are working together on my street king energy campaign.that's why I was being nice," 50 Cent tweeted on Feb. 24.
One of 50 Cent's followers ridiculed the rapper's encounter with Andrews, calling it "awkward," which he responded to.
"I wanted to kiss her so I did," 50 Cent tweeted.
The rapper quickly dismissed criticism that he had made advances toward Andrews and suggested that some news outlets were simply bending the truth.
"@50cent obviously a slow newsday. You were definitely trying to give a kiss on the cheek, ppl always trying to say some dumb s---," he tweeted.
The awkward moment is reminiscent to a 2003 incident involving ESPN reporter Suzy Kolber and Legendary New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath. Namath was interviewed during a game between the Jets and New England Patriots at Giants Stadium and abruptly told Kolber "I want to kiss you" despite their discussion being about football.
