In a recent interview, rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, shared insights about his relationship with politics and the ongoing buzz surrounding Donald Trump’s latest New York City rally. 50 Cent revealed that he got a call this past Sunday and he was offered $3 million to perform at Trump’s rally.
Jackson made it clear that he was not interested in participating in the political event. “I avoid politics,” he explained, emphasizing the divisive nature of political involvement. “When you get involved, there will always be someone who vehemently disagrees with you.”

Jackson also referenced fellow rapper Kanye West, discussing how West’s controversial remarks about religion and politics had impacted his life, suggesting that it led to West relocating to Japan. “That’s the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” Jackson remarked, alluding to the fallout from West’s statements.
On the same day, Donald Trump held a significant and contentious rally in New York City as part of his campaign’s final push. Jackson had previously expressed a mix of admiration and ambivalence towards Trump.
He tweeted earlier this year that “Trump might be the answer” regarding the migrant crisis and acknowledged that many Black men were identifying with Trump due to their own legal challenges.
His track “Many Men,” released in 2003, has unexpectedly become a rallying anthem for Trump supporters after the former president walked on stage to it following an assassination attempt.
Jackson noted that the song resonated with fans who related to its themes of struggle and resilience, especially after the rally boosted its streaming numbers.
Although Jackson had flirted with the idea of supporting Trump in 2020, he quickly reversed his stance after a misleading report about potential tax hikes under President Biden.
Initially reacting with outrage, he declared his support for Trump, stating he didn’t want to pay exorbitant taxes. However, he later recanted, humorously stating, “I never liked him” and referencing past grievances with Trump.
Overall, Jackson’s comments reveal his cautious approach to politics and his complex relationship with figures like Trump, balancing personal beliefs with the realities of public perception.
