When the former and possible future President of the United States got shot earlier this year, many people online started viral clips using the iconic “Many Men” single by Curtis Jackson. The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ anthem has become a rallying cry of sorts for Trump in the wake of his assassination attempt. The businessman that 50 Cent is, he jumped on the viral nature of the incident by showcasing Trump on the infamous album cover and performed the song in front of a live audience as seen below.

During the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, when 50 Cent briefly endorsed Trump. He publicly commented on Joe Biden’s proposed tax policies, expressing concern over the potential tax increase for high-income earners, which led him to endorse Trump’s re-election. However, after facing backlash, he quickly backtracked, making it clear he didn’t genuinely support Trump’s policies and even joked about leaving the U.S. if Trump were to win.
