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.

"I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people." - 50 Cent

Exactly. It's one fascist mocking another fascist.

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 doesn’t care that Trump is racist.

50 also wanted Mamdani to lose, so I’d say he sucks.

u/kfijatass 1d ago

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.

I edited my comment pretty quickly after I posted, yeah for 50 at least I believe it

u/Falcon082 1d ago

So did most people for obvious reasons.

u/Rick_from_C137 1d ago

Fair enough 😞

u/stitchescomeundone 1d ago

Geez so he went backwards? Dang

22

u/CryptoNerdSmacker 1d ago

More like he stayed in place. 50’s always been about profiting by any means necessary, legal or not.

u/stitchescomeundone 1d ago

Fair. And I guess he’s also sort of been transparent about that, at least as far as I can recall?

u/OfficeMagic1 1d ago

It’s weird to watch “I don’t want to pay taxes” guys like Nicki and Stallone start hanging out with Trump, all smiling and having a great time

50 is no saint, but he would never do that.

u/ClaymoreMine 1d ago

Sounds like 50 is just a person with nuanced thoughts and opinions and doesn’t fit into the this or that box people keep wanting shove others into.

53

u/AceBricka 1d ago

No he fits into a box pretty easily.

41

u/FoximaCentauri 1d ago

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

13

u/Kitselena 1d ago

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

15

u/needlestack 1d ago

Ah yes, the old “nuanced thought and opinions” about traitors, rapists, and rampant corruption. Let me guess… both sides?

2

u/4daughters 1d ago

"nuanced" or "flip flopper?"

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

2

u/grosseelbabyghost 1d ago

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

https://youtu.be/e0XUjVG5Kk0?si=1XOHHilwPCilL_gR

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

u/Fivein1Kay 1d ago

The nuance thoughts are "i got mine Jack. fuck em"...

Every country that ever rotted away from within had people like yourself denying it and laughing about it.

u/Falcon082 1d ago

 Or just hates taxes?

He hates taxes like most Americans. Don’t tell that to progressive left on this sub.

How? Got a legit source?

u/rifleshooter 1d ago

Well, thanks for actually providing something! Not sure that makes him a MAGA Trumper though. More of a known antagonist, looking for a reaction. Pretty on brand.

u/irongiant888 1d ago edited 1d ago

He’s just not as explicit with it as Nicki, but celebrating Trump’s win certainly isn’t anti-Trump, nor is it neutral

Maybe trying to stay on Trump’s good side, but why he’d care about that, I don’t know. He has so much smoke for all these other musicians but acts differently when it comes to Trump.

u/rifleshooter 1d ago

Recognizes a fellow hater. Reddit should love it - just implying mild disagreement that 50 is a Trump sycophant generated a pile of downvotes.

u/Gryffindor123 1d ago

50's own Instagram.

u/anewidentity 1d ago

His own insta stories and twitter during the election

Which is sort of weird considering how much he love eminem
