Rapper 50 Cent has a fiery track record while backing former President Donald Trump. However, on Friday, the legendary rap star found another reason to reject Democrat policies and consider throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump.
“:WTF mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works,” he said on Instagram. “Somebody explain. [Ari Melber] can’t explain this, I’m stuck maybe TRUMP is the answer.”
In mid-October 2021, 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, made waves in the rap world and throughout the country by endorsing Donald Trump.
As reported by People, “The rapper, 45, posted a photo to Instagram of a television broadcast from CNBC’s Power Lunch that showed top tax rates per state under Democratic candidate Joe Biden‘s proposed tax plan. 50 Cent (born Curtis Jackson III) expressed shock at how the tax rates would apply to him.”
“WHAT THE F—! (VOTE For TRUMP) IM OUT, ♂️ F— NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. ♂️ I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62 percent are you out of ya f—— mind. ,” he wrote.
The rapper also quipped about why he fought Biden’s tax policy.
“Yeah, i don’t want to be 20cent. 62% is a very, very,bad idea. i don’t like it !” he wrote on Twitter.
“Comedian” Chelsea Handler slammed 50 Cent for his Trump endorsement with a condescending statement that ignored Joe Biden’s history of racially insensitive remarks.
“He doesn’t want to pay 62 percent of taxes because he doesn’t want to go from 50 Cent to 20 Cent,” said Handler. “I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump, and that he shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook.”
