US rapper 50 Cent is facing a massive backlash on Twitter after calling an airline stewardess a "crazy b----" and posting a picture of her to his three million followers.

It is the latest in a string of offensive Tweets from the rapper — real name Curtis Jackson — who has proved a keen social media user since opening his account last week.

"I'm on a plane [with] this ugly ass stewardess in my face. She keep [sic] asking me if I want shit. I keep telling her no," 50 Cent wrote earlier today onboard a passenger plane.

Roughly three hours later, he uploaded a photo purporting to show the flight attendant.

"This is the crazy looking b---- I was talking about," he wrote.

The posting was quickly slammed by many of his legion of followers, with some saying they would not be surprised if 50 Cent was sued for his actions.

"You know what, you egotistical f---, she's a FLIGHT ATTENDANT, doing her job. Grow up," one person commented.

Said another: "You're a f---ing idiot 50, you rather have her not ask you at all? Shes doing her f---ing job ... SNITCH. "

The incident follows a series of homophobic and sexist comments by 50 Cent, who began posting on Twitter shortly after rival rapper Kanye West joined the site.

In recent postings he talks about seeing a "tall super model giraffe lookin ass b----" and makes a derogatory remark about homosexuals.

50 Cent even received a brief image-posting ban after he uploaded an image of a woman with a giant burger wedged between her buttocks.
