Jackson, the rapper known as “50 Cent,” said that he recently turned down a $3 million offer to join former President Donald Trump at a gathering in New York.
The rapper talked about the chance in an interview on The Breakfast Club, saying why he doesn’t want to get involved in politics, even though he has said things in the past that showed he liked Trump.
50 Cent confirmed, “I got a call.” He also said he had been asked to perform his hit song “Many Men (Wish Death)” at this year’s Republican National Convention for the same amount of money.
The 2003 song, which 50 Cent wrote after being shot in 2000, has recently become an anthem for Trump fans after an attempt on his life in July.
Many Men (Wish Death) became very popular very quickly, getting into the top 10 on iTunes and other streaming services. 50 Cent even shared an altered album cover with Trump’s face on it.
Even though the deal was offered, 50 Cent made it clear he wasn’t interested by saying, “I didn’t even go far…” That’s not something I talked to them about. “I am scared of politics.” “It’s because when you get involved, no matter how you feel, someone strongly disagrees with you,” he said.
Last month, 50 Cent talked about Trump’s rallying cry with his fans, making a connection between it and his own ability to bounce back after being shot.
50 Cent said, “He says ‘fight.'” “Okay.” And I did the same thing after I got shot. I’m now in fight mode. That’s how people connect with it.
Jackson has thought about Trump’s possible return to the White House, but he hasn’t said that he supports him. He recently wrote on social media, “I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not going to say that.”
Also, 50 Cent is working on a Netflix documentary series about claims of abuse against Sean “Diddy” Combs, another music mogul.
Jackson stressed his promise to “give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives” in a statement about the project.
Other famous people, like Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil, came to Trump’s gathering at Madison Square Garden. But a lot of people didn’t like the event when comic Tony Hinchcliffe made racist jokes about Puerto Rico and called it “a floating island of garbage.”
Because of what Hinchcliffe said, famous people like Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Bad Bunny decided to back Kamala Harris in her quest to become the first woman to be elected to the White House.
