50 Cent has once again declared his support for Donald Trump while blasting New York City Mayor Eric Adams for his proposed program of handing out pre-paid debit cards to migrants.
In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, the G-Unit head honcho raged out about the program, which is a temporary salvo until the migrants are issued their paperwork that would allow them to get a full-time job.

“WTF mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works — somebody explain,” the rapper wrote in his post. “Can’t explain this I’m stuck maybe TRUMP is the answer.”

This isn’t the first time that 50 Cent has shown his support for Donald Trump.
Back in October 2020, 50 Cent infuriated a large percentage of his fanbase when he encouraged his 26.2 million Instagram followers to “vote for Trump.” The television mogul was disheartened by Joe Biden’s proposed tax plan, which includes a 62 percent top tax rate for New York and New Jersey residents — something Fif didn’t like.

At the time, the multi-millionaire doubled down on his Trump endorsement via Instagram, sharing a Fox News clip about his Trump endorsement the previous day.
“Yeah, i don’t want to be 20cent,” he captioned the post. “62% is a very, very, bad idea. i don’t like it!”

50’s initial post received approval from conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, Trump’s senior campaign advisor Katrina Pierson, Candace Owens and countless Trump supporters on social media. But many of the Power executive producer’s previous supporters had no problem dismissing his existence.
As author Frederick Joseph pointed out on Twitter, taxing the wealthy helps the working class.
“I’m happy @oldmanebro is talking about 50 Cent endorsing Trump on the radio,” Joseph wrote. “A lot of you are aligning with 50 because of the implications of Biden’s tax plans. 1. Y’all don’t make enough to be taxed more 2. Taxing the wealthy more helps YOU 3. The wealthy are gaslighting you.”
The following month, 50 Cent did an about-face and made Trump the target of his amusement when he posted a hilarious picture of the former president in a position that may be waiting for him once he’s officially out of the White House.

In the photo, Trump’s orange-hued face and trademark scowl is plastered on an inmate’s body while his hair is completely shaven off.
50 wrote in the caption, “If the election keeps going in this direction, Trump is gonna need @isaacwrightjr to fight his case. LOL #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”
