50 Cent has some contradicting political beliefs. The rapper supported Donald Trump in 2020, posting a photo on Instagram (via People) featuring a broadcast from CNBC’s “Power Lunch” that showed the potential tax rates if Joe Biden implemented his proposed tax plan. “WHAT THE F***! (VOTE For TRUMP) IM OUT,” he wrote at the time. “F*** NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya f***ing mind.”
The rapper’s unlikely support of the Republican candidate came as a shock to many fans, including his ex-girlfriend, Chelsea Handler. “You used to be my favorite ex-boyfriend,” she tweeted in response. The comedian spoke on “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” about his endorsement, saying, “He says he doesn’t want to pay 62% in taxes — which, by the way, isn’t a plan of Joe Biden’s, that’s a lie … I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump.”
Ultimately, 50 Cent backtracked his support for the former president, tweeting a response to Handler’s interview with Fallon. “A what, another spin,” he wrote. “F*** Donald Trump, I never liked him.” The same can’t be said for Trump, however, as Fiddy previously revealed on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that Trump offered him $500,000 to appear at his 2016 inauguration. “All money is not good money,” he explained, saying he turned down the invite. “Don’t bring me to fix the African American vote.”
