As someone who’s spent years navigating the complexities of the music and political landscapes, I find 50 Cent’s decision to decline Donald Trump’s rally invitation both intriguing and expected. His wariness towards politics is not unfamiliar to me; it’s akin to a seasoned gamer avoiding a particularly difficult level in a game – you know the stakes are high, but the challenges seem insurmountable.
50 Cent recently revealed the reasons behind his decision not to perform at a rally hosted by ex-President Donald Trump in New York. Despite speculations about his political affiliation, he made clear where he stands. Furthermore, the musician expressed some apprehensions regarding discussing politics openly.
Here is why 50 Cent didn’t perform at Donald Trump’s New York rally.
50 Cent claims he declined an invite to Donald Trump’s rally
50 Cent, more famously known as Curtis Jackson, has disclosed that he declined an invitation to be present at Donald Trump’s disputed rally in New York, which was said to come with a generous $3 million fee. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, the rapper divulged this detail and verified receiving a call about the event, as well as being propositioned to perform his popular track “Many Men (Wish Death)” at the Republican National Convention for a comparable amount. The artist explained, “I didn’t get too deep into it… I didn’t discuss such matters with them. Politics make me uneasy. You see? I have no affinity for any aspect of them.
He further elaborated and said, “It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan. He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.” The rally was held at Madison Square Garden and boasted celebrity support from various well-known figures like Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil. However, the rally faced criticism after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made several inflammatory remarks about racial minorities and Puerto Rico.
50 Cent’s allegation concerning a $3 million offer from the Trump campaign was swiftly denied by a campaign representative. However, no additional information regarding the refutation has been disclosed. So far, 50 Cent’s team has not offered a response to the campaign’s counterclaim (as reported by Variety).
