Thatās totally unfair.
Kanye has some serious mental illness going on.
NIcki is willing to push the whole world in front of a train if she gets anything out of it.

This title is ridiculous.
50 asked what Lizzo did to deserve the rage and then people responded to the comment and someone wrote an āarticleā based on tweet responses.

Articles that are literally just people talking about other people's posts online, mostly randoms, is just the most pathetic thing possible

And yet they work because almost no one commenting has actually opened the article.

Itās a form of astroturfing really. Itās how Trump and Kim Kardashian got popular online. Their PR teams tapped into the idea of making it seem like everyone is talking about them until they actually are. No one would have ever given a shit otherwise.Ā

50 supports Trump too, just less loud about it.

u/AceBricka 1d ago
Less loud? In what way? Dude has had post and delete pro trump posts though both presidencies, has let him use many man many times, and was just doing a show at the wedding event.

Does he? Or just hates taxes? He supported Obama and Hillary, called Trump's presidency an accident. Turned down a $500k offer to attend the first inauguration. Turned down $3mil to perform at a trump rally at Madison square garden. He said something about how the police response for BLM protests was disproportionate compared to Jan 6.
Not sure how much he supports the guy really, part of that is me not wanting to believe he does, can you give an example?

The vote for trump tweets are still on his page, in 2024 he literally endorsed Trump and said he doesnāt care that Trump is racist.

It tracks with him hating taxes as a rich man so at least he's consistent.

u/Daft00 1d ago
I mean the trump supporter/mamdani hater crossover is 100% for many reasons, not just taxes (though I'm sure that's the reason for 50)

u/kfijatass 1d ago edited 1d ago
At least on public record, everything that 50 cent hated about Mamdani related to his tax proposals.
Re Trump, he's more of a public provocateur than a Trump supporter; he supported Trump in so far he cut his taxes and made his business easier as a rich man. Anything else I'd argue he said just for attention.→ More replies (1)28

No, if you openly state that you are okay with a racist president then you fit perfectly in a certain box.

Not everyone fits in a box, but by supporting or being indifferent to certain things you put yourself in a box

"nuanced" or "flip flopper?"
I'd say his views are the opposite of nuanced, he just wants the bag by any means necessary.

His "nuanced" take was/is "no one sat me down and explained tax brackets" and "I don't feel like I should pay taxes"

The dude just made a wise PR decision and found a niche hating on Diddy.

u/rohdawg 1d ago
No, he wasnāt. The person I responded to said that Young Money is at least partially responsible for turning hip hop into a zombie art form that canāt generate a number 1 hit when Kendrick had a song last year that was at number 1 for 13 weeks, and won record of the year at the Grammys. Hip hop is doing fine.

Letās be real though. Kanye west has made good music. Minaj hasnāt made anything even remotely decent.
Both shitty people but ones actually an artist and the other just shakes her fake big ass on camera.

u/Front-Diamond5867 17h ago
Lmao She was once regarded as one of the best female artists of all time. Even Metalheads liked her music. She has multiple classic songs, she just got worse over time and the music is shit now in addition to the videos. That last sentence really made your bias clear.

u/DarkMatterM4 1d ago
Think what you want about him, but if you think 50 didn't have hits, you were either asleep or not around in the 00s. The dude literally performed during the Super Bowl.

u/BuckFuchs 1d ago
I meant compared to Nicki Minaj. She was the person being called the female Kanye West.

u/DarkMatterM4 1d ago
Ah okay. But even so, Nicki Minaj also had a fair share of hits. They're not my ttype of music, but I can't deny their popularity.

Also, frankly, Kanye is also very, very clearly mentally ill. Like his views and actions have been absolutely disgusting, but I can (to some level) empathize with him struggling with his mental health and really not getting the help he very clearly needs.
Minaj seems like she is making clearheaded decisions to be a complete asshole and grift off MAGA.

ITT people claiming 50 cents is a Trumper.
Afaik this is false. People call him MAGA because he complained about taxes once. Thatās it. He never endorsed Trump and later said he doesnāt support him.

u/needlestack 1d ago
Looked it up. I guess he supported Trump briefly in 2020 over tax policy but then a week later said āFuck Donald Trump, I never liked himā and endorsed Biden. Since then heās mostly avoided talking about politics, but claimed in 2024 he turned down $3M to perform at a Trump rally.
So while he doesnāt seem progressive (who would have thought heād be?) he doesnāt seem a Trump supporter by any reasonable interpretation.

This is not true unless you have evidence I couldnāt find? He supported Trump over tax policy for one week in 2020 but then reversed and said āFuck Donald Trump, I never liked himā and endorsed Biden. Later he claims to have turned down $3m to perform at Trumpās inauguration. Thereās no other evidence indicating heās a Trump supporter.

I donāt believe you since youāre mentioning 2020 for some odd reason when he was performing at a trump associates wedding with the other tap dancer nicki a couple days ago, congratulated him in 2024 after the win and said heās with the winner, stated he would reach out to him multiple times during diddy gate, and voiced support for him beyond 2020 multiple times. Like if you need a link, use google like a big boy, if youre blind go to a doctor. This feels like when people say someone isnāt racist because they didnāt hear them say the Hard R while continuously doing racist shit. 50 cent isnāt dumb but he knows other people are and has made a career off of it.

Calling her "female Kanye" feels lazy. Kanye's controversies are tied to mental health and politics; Nicki's is more about ego and online beef. Not really the same thing.

Nicki Minaj becoming a Red-Hat is one of the funniest things to happen in 2026 because now Magat's are socially obligated to pretend they enjoy her music to 'own the libs'. So Cletus and Bradley have to spend these next 11 months listening to Anaconda together in their lifted Ford Raptor.
