50 Cent Rejects $3M Trump Rally Offer

Rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, turned down a $3 million offer from Donald Trump's campaign to perform at a rally in Madison Square Garden and the Republican National Convention. Despite his previous endorsement of Trump in 2020, Jackson cited his aversion to politics and the risk of alienating fans as reasons for declining the offer. He expressed his fear of politics, noting the divisive nature of political engagement and drawing parallels to Kanye West's controversial political statements, which impacted his career. Following Trump's rally, which included controversial remarks by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, many celebrities expressed their opposition to Trump's campaign and support for Kamala Harris. While 50 Cent refrains from political endorsements, his decision was widely supported by fans who praised him for maintaining his integrity. This incident highlights the broader trend of celebrities becoming involved in the political sphere ahead of the 2024 election.
