Eminem's protégé 50 Cent took to Instagram to show his support for his former girlfriend Chelsea Handler by reposting her topless photo on Dec. 28, Sunday.

"Hi haters, boy I love @chelseahandler out of control. Lol," the 39-year-old rapper captioned the reposted photo of Handler. However, Instagram promptly took down the post as it did to the original post by Handler.

In the topless photo, Handler appears to be in a snowy mountain wearing snow gear dressed from head to toe in ski goggles, black trousers and a backpack except that she is not wearing a shirt while looking for her dog named Chunk. Apparently, her exposed breasts prompted Instagram to take the post down.

After Instagram took down her semi-nude photo, Handler took to Twitter to share the photo to her followers and inform them about the whereabouts of Chunk.  

"Finding chunk. Instagram had him!" Handler wrote.

In 2009, 50 Cent met Handler when he appeared on her talk show "Chelsea Lately." They dated briefly in 2010 and still remained friendly with each other even after their break. In August, they reunited publicly when 50 Cent surprised Handler on the series finale of the "Chelsea Lately."

In the latest episode of Complex TV's series "Magnum Opus," 50 Cent and Eminem discussed the story behind their collaboration single "Patiently Waiting."

Meanwhile, Eminem recently made a cameo on the controversial film "The Interview," in which he appeared as himself revealing that he is gay in a talk show hosted by James Franco's character.
