50 Cent recently revealed that he turned down a whopping $3 million offer to perform at Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The reason? He wants to steer clear of politics . In an interview on “The Breakfast Club,” 50 Cent shared that Trump’s team reached out to him to perform at the rally, as well as at the Republican National Convention over the summer.
When asked about the offer, 50 Cent said, “I got a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday” . He also mentioned that he was asked to perform his hit song “Many Men” at the convention.
However, 50 Cent made it clear that he’s not interested in getting involved in politics, stating, “I’m afraid about politics… I do not like no part about them” .
50 Cent’s decision to decline the offer may have been influenced by the controversy surrounding Trump’s rallies.
The recent rally at Madison Square Garden was no exception, with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe making derogatory comments about Puerto Rico.
Interestingly, a Trump campaign official later denied 50 Cent’s claim about the $3 million offer, stating that it was not true.
50 Cent’s stance on politics is clear: he wants no part in it. As he put it, “When you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you” .
He even referenced Kanye West’s experiences, noting that West’s toxic political statements have effectively banned him from performing in the US and Europe.
