Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson recently declined a $3 million invitation to attend a rally in New York with former President Donald Trump.
In an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the rapper revealed the possibility and explained why he was reluctant to become involved in politics, even if his earlier comments had indicated some support for Trump.
50 Cent said, “I got a call,” adding that he had also been requested to play his popular song “Many Men (Wish Death)” at the Republican National Convention this year in exchange for a comparable amount.
Following a July assassination attempt, 50 Cent’s 2003 song, which he wrote after getting shot in 2000, has lately turned into an anthem for Trump fans.
50 Cent even published an altered album cover with Trump’s face on it. Many Men (Wish Death) became a huge hit, breaking into the top 10 on iTunes and other streaming services.
50 Cent made it apparent that he didn’t pursue the contract in spite of the offer, stating, “I didn’t even go far. I didn’t discuss such things with them. I’m terrified of politics. “It’s because when you do get involved, regardless of how you feel, someone strongly disagrees with you,” he continued.
50 Cent responded to Trump’s call last month by relating the former president’s rallying cry to his own story of resiliency following a shooting.
“He tells me to fight,” 50 Cent remarked. “All right. And when I was shot, I did just that. I just entered combat mode. That is how people identify with it.
Jackson recently said on social media, “I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not going to say that,” but he has made conjectures about Trump’s possible comeback to the White House without explicitly endorsing him.
A Netflix documentary project that explores abuse claims against fellow music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is also being developed by 50 Cent.
Jackson stressed his dedication to “give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives” in a statement regarding the project.
Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil were among the other celebrities that attended Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden. However, when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made racist comments about Puerto Rico, calling it “a floating island of garbage,” the event caused a lot of anger.
Celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Bad Bunny expressed their support for Kamala Harris in her attempt to become the first elected female president as a result of Hinchcliffe’s comments.
