50 Cent is making waves post-election, and not for a new music release. On Wednesday, the rapper took to social media to post throwback photos of himself with Donald Trump, congratulating the former president on becoming the 47th President of the United States. While 50 didn’t delve into politics or policies, he left a simple message acknowledging the historic win: a gesture that stirred up mixed reactions from his followers.
Despite the backlash, it seems 50 Cent isn’t too worried about taking sides. After a massive year full of success without getting tangled in political debates, the G-Unit mogul appears focused on keeping things smooth for the next four years. As he put it, he’s just staying “on the right side of the aisle.” 😁
50’s unexpected nod to Trump sparked conversation, especially considering the politically charged nature of other hip-hop figures. Mark Cuban, known for his outspokenness, also chimed in with congratulations to Trump, suggesting that “sour grapes” might be a thing of the past.
One interesting dynamic to watch? 50 Cent and Eminem in the studio. Eminem, who was vocal about supporting Kamala Harris in the lead-up to Election Day, might have a few things to say when these rap titans reunite.
True to form, 50 didn’t linger long on the political moment. He quickly pivoted back to business as usual, taking jabs at Dame Dash after the former Jay-Z associate critiqued his business acumen.
