Think twice the next time 50 Cent’s hit song comes on the radio and you find yourself singing along.
Although ‘Candy Shop’ was released by 50 Cent back in 2005, it has remained a popular tune ever since.
Next time you groove to the song on the radio, take a moment to consider what the lyrics are actually saying and their deeper meaning.
Many songs, especially in the rap genre, often have meanings that differ from their apparent themes. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Some social media users are now delving deeper into the true meaning of 50 Cent’s hit, realizing that despite the title ‘Candy Shop’, the song might not be about sweets and chocolates.
TikTok user Debi, known by the handle @dibdabx, has gained popularity for her reactions to the hidden meanings behind various songs.
This week, Debi listened to 50 Cent’s ‘Candy Shop’ and was visibly shocked when she concluded that the song might be referring to oral sex.
Is there a classier way to describe that? Just curious…
In the viral video, captioned “Listening to ‘Candy Shop’ by 50 Cent now I’m not a child”, Debi’s reaction is priceless as she listens to the chorus.
“I’ll take you to the candy shop. I’ll let you lick the lollipop. Go ahead, girl, don’t you stop. Keep going until you hit the spot.”
How did we miss this before? It’s so blatant!
“Why have I never noticed this?!” Debi questions. “Calm down sir.
“They’re both going for it,” she comments on the female artist’s lines. “Childhood ruined.”

Speaking of ruined childhoods, a clip from the 1940 cartoon Tom and Jerry has left viewers shocked after realizing the dark undertone of an old episode.
The resurfaced clip, which has been trending on social media, features three kittens who appear to be taken to heaven, and it is sure to evoke an emotional response.
The popular Twitter account @historyinmemes shared the clip, showing Tom the cat visiting the gates of heaven after being injured in a playful tussle with Jerry the mouse.
A group of cats is seen entering the gates and boarding a train called the ‘Heavenly Express’, signifying their deaths on Earth.
The train conductor, also a cat, inspects a moving sack tied with string. Three kittens then emerge from the bag, water splashing out, implying they were drowned.
The video’s caption reads: “We were too young to understand this. The golden escalator of Heaven takes Tom’s soul up into the sky to the golden gates of the railroad station where the ‘Heavenly Express’ train is waiting that carries the souls of cats to heaven.”
“As a child I never understood this scene with the bag. Seeing it now again as a man it just gut checked me. Fuq, I need to hug my dog and cats for a bit,” one viewer commented.
Another viewer admitted: “I also hugged my cat after watching this.”
