Apparently, 50 Cent just hit decline on a $3 million payday from Donald Trump. Yup, you read that right. Trump tried to book the rapper for a performance at a rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27, and 50 basically said, “Nah, I’m good.”
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy straight-up asked the million-dollar (okay, $3 million-dollar) question: “Yo, Fif—did Trump really slide into your DMs with a cash offer?” And without skipping a beat, 50 confirmed, “I got a call, but they wanted me on Sunday.”
But wait, it gets juicier! Envy added that rumor has it 50 was also asked to perform Many Men—yes, that hood anthem—at the Republican National Convention over the summer. I mean, if that’s not a wild enough visual for you, just imagine Trump awkwardly bopping along to it in the front row.
“They offered $3 million,” 50 said, letting the world know Trump’s team wasn’t playing around with the checkbook. But did he dive headfirst into political waters? Nah. “I didn’t even go far with it,” he admitted. “I’m scared of politics. They make my head hurt.”
And honestly? He’s not wrong. “When you get involved, someone’s gonna hate what you said—guaranteed,” he explained. “That’s the same recipe that had Kanye goin’ full ninja mode in Japan. He said too much, and now the man’s on a permanent sushi sabbatical.”
So yeah, 50 Cent took a hard pass on the drama, the politics, and the potential of becoming a meme forever. Because if there’s one thing he knows, it’s how to dodge a bad decision better than a debt collector.
Moral of the story? Not even three million big ones could get 50 to join Trump’s playlist. And honestly, we respect the hustle.
