Wu-Tang Clan appear to have thrown their support behind New York mayoral hopeful, Zohran Mamdani.
The Democratic party’s candidate for the post attended a recent Wu-Tang concert at Madison Square Garden and ended up backstage having a conversation about politics with RZA.
The two have a conversation about how to make certain New York neighbourhoods more affordable with RZA appearing on board with Mamdani’s proposals.
He can be seen saying to the Wu-Tang leader: “I think a big part of it is to make Brownsville a place that you don’t have to leave. There are too many people for whom stability, space, raising a family, you can only do it outside of New York City. The whole campaign that we ran on is about ‘How do we make the most expensive city in the United States of America affordable?’”
One person who will not be voting for Mamdani is 50 Cent.
50 had previously called out Mamdani’s tax plans which would include a 2% tax increase for New York’s wealthiest citizens.
On Instagram, 50 posted a clip of the Democrat candidate for mayor being interviewed on The Breakfast Club where he discussed his tax policies.
Mamdani says: “What I’ve proposed is we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city because we know he’ll use federal funding as leverage over this city. And we will do so in two key ways. The first is to match the state’s top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey. We are at 7.25%, they are at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there, they can pay it over here. And the beauty of it is it doesn’t just apply to corporations headquartered in New York City, wherever you are headquartered, as long as you are doing business in the state of New York, you are liable for that corporate tax.
“The second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We’re talking about people who make $1 million a year or more, taxing them by a flat 2% tax rate increase. I know 50 Cent is listening, he’s not going to be very happy about this, he tends to not like this tax policy but I want to be very clear, this is about $20,000 a year.”
50 then said in the caption: “Where did he come from whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too !”
he’s running for mayor of nyc. NONE of them live exclusively in nyc. therefore, none of the crap this guy is trying to do will never effect them. endorsing socialism must be hot in the streets.
Go look up the word “empathy”.
i think all of them expect rza have their main residence in nyc
