As a gamer who’s been around the block more times than I care to count, I can appreciate the hustle and the strategic moves that 50 Cent is making. Turning down a $3 million offer from Donald Trump isn’t just about the money, it’s about standing for something greater. He’s seen the power of music and influence firsthand, and he knows how to wield it effectively.
50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, revealed that he declined a $3 million offer extended by Donald Trump and the Republican Party for a performance at Trump’s rally held at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening.
On The Breakfast Club’s show, the host asked him about endorsing a former president for his White House bid,” the entertainer and businessman said on Tuesday, confirming that he had indeed received a call asking for his services on Sunday.
50 Cent disclosed that they proposed a $3 million deal, and added that he was invited to perform “Many Men (Wish Death)” at the Republican National Convention this summer. However, he also turned down that offer.
On Sunday, Hulk Hogan, Dr. Phil McGraw, Dana White, and Elon Musk voiced their backing for Trump at a gathering in New York’s Madison Square Garden.
50 Cent expressed that talks with the Republican Party regarding performances and endorsements were immediately off the table since he’s apprehensive about politics. In other words, he doesn’t care for anything related to politics. The reason being, when one gets entangled in political matters, regardless of personal feelings, there will always be someone who passionately disagrees with you.
50 Cent stated that he too avoids discussing religion and politics, similar to what Kanye West did. “That’s a recipe for the confusion that led Kanye (West) to Japan,” he said. “He spoke about both of those subjects, and now it seems like his only destination is Japan.
50 Cent’s interview with The Breakfast Club hosts had to be cut short due to Vice President Kamala Harris being on the line, at which point they jokingly asked if 50 Cent wanted to say hello. In response, 50 Cent playfully stood up and inquired, “Why are you guys putting me in this position? I thought we were friends! What’s going on here?
The rapper then embraced his podcast hosts amid laughter as the interview ended.
