50 Cent would rather stay out of politics after he was reportedly approached by Donald Trump’s team to get his stamp.
In an interview with The breakfast clubhost DJ Envy asked 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, if Trump was offering the rapper money to support him. “I got the call,” 50 Cent confirmed. “But they wanted me [for] Sunday.” The interview comes two days after Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 27.
Envy then asks if 50 Cent was invited to perform “Many Men” at the Republican National Convention in July, days after the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump. The rapper said, “They offered $3 million,” and co-host Charlamagne Tha God chimed in to clarify that the figure was offered for the Madison Square Garden rally, 50 Cent confirmed, and also said he was offered money for the Republican National convention, although he did not reveal the number.

He clarified his stance on remaining apolitical, saying, “It’s because when you get involved, no matter how you feel, someone passionately he doesn’t agree with you. It’s the formula for confusion that sent Kanye [West] to Japan. He said something about both things – and now he can only go to Japan.”
