50 Cent's Unexpected Support for Trump

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is once again publicly backing Donald Trump following the former president's unexpected victory in the presidential election, which saw him join Grover Cleveland as the only U.S. president elected to non-consecutive terms. Just a week before this, 50 Cent made headlines by turning down a hefty seven-figure offer to perform at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally.

A Bold Declaration

In an Instagram post dated November 6, 50 Cent boldly expressed his loyalty: "I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner s–t." Accompanying his words were photos of him with Trump, exuding a sense of camaraderie. In a humorous yet candid addition, he admitted, “I still don’t know what’s going on,” along with a face palm emoji and a note of congratulations.

Mixed Reactions from Followers

The rapper's return to Trump’s side has ignited a wave of mixed reactions from his followers. Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren praised 50 Cent's post with an enthusiastic "Fight fight fight! Win win win!!" However, others voiced their disappointment, accusing him of being "soulless for money" and expressing frustration at his previous claims of staying out of politics.

Turning Down a Lucrative Offer

Earlier, during an appearance on *The Breakfast Club*, 50 Cent revealed that he had been offered a staggering $3 million to show up at Trump’s rally. Despite the lucrative opportunity, he opted out, citing a fear of the political landscape. He explained, "I’m afraid of politics, you understand? I do not like it... If you say 'I stay away from religion,' I stay away from politics."

Trump Campaign's Response

The Trump campaign subsequently downplayed these claims, with a source telling Billboard that there were inaccuracies in the story, though they did not clarify what specific aspects were in question.

A Heated Political Climate

Meanwhile, the political climate remains heated. Following remarks from a comedian that disparaged Puerto Rico at the same MSG event, many prominent Puerto Rican artists have rallied in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighting the stark divisions that continue to persist in American society post-election.

Looking Ahead

As 50 Cent re-aligns himself with the former president, fans and critics alike will be closely watching how this political pivot pans out in his career and public persona. Will he face backlash from his fanbase, or will this new alliance propel him further into the spotlight? Only time will tell!
