Aziz Ansari Tells Anderson the 50 Cent Story is True

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 5:00AM

"Dangerously Delicious" comedian Aziz Ansari tells Anderson that the 50 Cent story in his stand-up special is true.

In the story, Ansari remembers sitting near rapper 50 Cent inside a New York City restaurant and listening to 50's conversation with the waiter. He said 50 ordered a grapefruit soda and asked why it wasn't purple. Ansari realized that the musician did not know what a grapefruit was.

Aziz tells Anderson that his stand-up stories are constantly questioned, saying, "People always ask that, about stand-up, like, 'Oh, you talk about your cousin, is that a real person?' Yeah! It's a real person!"

After Anderson and Aziz disagree on how to pronounce 50's name, Anderson notes that 50 Cent would probably want to punch Aziz if they ever met. Aziz replies, "I'll just show him a grapefruit and he'll be confused and then I'll get away."
