50 Cent Says He Turned Down Donald Trump’s $3 Million Offer to Perform; Trump Official Denies
50 Cent says he turned down a $3 million offer to perform at former President Donald Trump’s rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
50 revealed the development during his interview on The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God. When asked if he got offered money to perform by Trump, 50 says yes, then clarifies, “I got a a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday.”
Envy then repeats a report that 50 was asked to perform his hit ‘Many Men’ at the Republican National Convention over the summer following shooting at Trump, 50 responds “They offered $3 million,” presumably referring to Sunday’s rally but hinting that he was asked about both.
“I didn’t even go far… I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics,” he says to laughter. “You understand? I do not like no part about them.”
“It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, some one passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” he says. “He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.”
