I REJECTED $3M OFFER TO PERFORM AT TRUMP’S NEW YORK RALLY – 50 CENT

Read Time:2 Minute, 7 Second

Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has revealed that he recently turned down a $3 million offer to join former President Donald Trump at a rally in New York.

The rapper disclosed the opportunity during an interview on The Breakfast Club, explaining his reluctance to engage in politics despite previous remarks that showed some admiration for Trump.

“I got a call,” 50 Cent confirmed, noting he had also been asked to perform his hit song Many Men (Wish Death) at this year’s Republican National Convention for a similar sum.

The 2003 track, which 50 Cent wote after being shot in 2000, has recently become an anthem for Trump supporters following an attempted assassination attempt in July.

Many Men (Wish Death) surged in popularity, climbing into the top 10 on iTunes and other streaming platforms, and 50 Cent even shared an edited album cover featuring Trump’s face.

Despite the offer, 50 Cent made it clear he didn’t pursue the deal, saying, “I didn’t even go far… I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics.” He added, “It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.”

Last month, 50 Cent addressed Trump’s appeal with his audience, connecting the former president’s rallying cry to his own experience of resilience after being shot.

“He says ‘fight’,” 50 Cent said. “All right. And that’s exactly what I did after I got shot. I just went into fight mode. People identify with it that way.”

While Jackson has speculated on Trump’s potential return to the White House, he’s refrained from an outright endorsement, recently writing on social media, “I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not going to say that.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent is also working on a Netflix docuseries that examines abuse allegations against fellow music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In a statement about the project, Jackson emphasized his commitment to “give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.”

Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden attracted other celebrities, including Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil. However, the event sparked significant backlash when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made racist jokes, referring to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage.”

Hinchcliffe’s remarks led celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Bad Bunny to voice their support for Kamala Harris in her bid to become the first woman elected to the White House.
