Hip-Hop has a weird obsession with Donald Trump, and you don’t have to look further than 50 Cent to see what we mean when we say that.
Former disgraced President and current nominee for GOP, Donald Trump, has dominated the news cycle after he was the victim of a struggle assassination attempt over the weekend that left him with a bloody ear from a bullet that allegedly grazed his ear.
Other reports claim his wounded ear was a result of glass shattered by a bullet.
Conspiracy theories flooded timelines, with many believing the whole incident was strange. The Orange Menace’s behavior—asking for his shoes, stopping to pump his fists in the air and yell “Fight,” and the Secret Services’ reaction—didn’t help matters.
Of course, plenty of memes also materialized, explicitly using 50 Cent’s classic record “Many Men (Wish Death On Me)” from his Shady/Aftermath debut album, Get Rich or Die Tyrin.
The song details the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, being shot nine times and serving to become one of the world’s biggest Hip-Hop acts, so many MAGA followers are using it to compare their lord and savior’s brush with death.
50 Cent Doesn’t Miss An Opportunity To Troll
Looking to capitalize on the moment, it should come as no surprise that 50 Cent added his commentary by showing an altered photo of his album cover with Donald Trump’s head imposed over his body while performing the song during a recent concert performance.
On social media, he took time off from his constant trolling of Diddy to post the same image with the caption, “Trump gets shot and now I’m trendin.”
In an earlier post that he deleted, he shared a photo of Trump and his bloody ear with the caption, “I know the vibes…we are all in trouble now!”
Now, word on the street is that 50 Cent will perform at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week, where Republicans are expected to glaze the hell out of Trump and listen to the alleged new speech where he will talk about “unity.”
50 Cent’s History of Flirting With Supporting Donald Trump
50 Cent’s political position has been up in the air, as the Queens rapper has been flirting with supporting Donald Trump for years.
In June, 50 Cent said he could see why Black men identify with Trump during a visit to Capitol Hill to speak with lawmakers. He also had time to take photos with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and others.
In 2020, he initially endorsed Donald Trump but switched to President Biden after receiving widespread backlash.
We shall see if 50 Cent follows other rappers like Kodak Black, Waka Flocka, and others who support Trump.
