50 Cent has revealed that Donald Trump offered him $500,000 to make an appearance during his presidential campaign last year. 50 says the move was in an attempt to help persuade African-Americans to vote for Trump.
“Before he got elected, they was having issue with the African-American vote,” 50 said during a recent interview with Hot 97. “They wanted to pay me $500,000 as a part of the campaign to just make an appearance. I was like, ‘Nah, that’s not good money.’ I’m not gonna do that. That’s not worth it.”
In the 2016 election, around 16.4 million African-Americans voted, making up approximately 11.9 percent of the voting demographic, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. In its post-election analysis, the BBC reported just eight percent of African-Americans voted for Trump on November 8.
50 also briefly offered his thoughts on the Trump presidency, saying, “His presidency is an accident. If you were a president by accident, you might do some of the things Donald Trump is doing.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the G-Unit frontman spoke on his critical views of JAY-Z’s 4:44, why Ebro can’t continue to blame him for the state of New York City Hip Hop and how Floyd Mayweather Jr. really feels towards Conor McGregor.
50 Cent needs to pretend he is not a Republican to protect his brand from the cult(ure).
