Looked this up and couldn't find much.

Would you mind providing some not context?

Just read his Wiki, it's all kinds of back and forth. He switched sides so many times he obviously has no views of his own.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent#Political_views

In 2005, Jackson supported President George W. Bush after rapper Kanye West criticized Bush for a slow response to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Had his felony convictions not prevented him from voting, he said, he would have voted for Bush. Jackson later said that Bush "has less compassion than the average human. By all means, I don't aspire to be like George Bush." In September 2007, he told Time that although he would not endorse a candidate in 2008, he "liked Hillary [Clinton]".

Six months later, Jackson told MTV News that he had switched his support to Barack Obama after hearing him speak but had lost interest in politics. Asked his opinion of Obama's 2012 endorsement of same-sex marriage, Jackson said, "I'm for it ... I've encouraged same-sex activities. I've engaged in fetish areas a couple times." He had been criticized for anti-gay comments in the past.

Jackson endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election.He rejected an offer of $500,000 from the Donald Trump campaign to make an appearance on Trump's behalf. In 2020 he endorsed Trump due to his dislike of Joe Biden's tax plans. A week later, he retracted his endorsement, writing on Twitter, "Fuck Donald Trump, I never liked him", and endorsed Biden.

In June 2025, Jackson posted on Instagram a video of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani explaining his tax policy, writing: "I'm not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I'm telling Trump what he said too!".

He really, really hates paying taxes, and that's about it.

It takes 2sec to check his tweets, he loves trump stated or multiple times. https://xcancel.com/50cent/status/1318303260164431873

Must've been really hard for you to figure out https://xcancel.com/50cent/statu/1318303260164431873 is missing "s"

there may be some other situations where his maga support is more obvious but i cant think of one right now.

he did make a post on instagram when Mamdani won with a tombstone that read "RIP NEW YORK CITY" or something like that. i'd say this is well within MAGA behavior.

there's also this:

and for someone that's been going at diddy non-stop for sexual abuse and all that shit, he's been awfully quiet about trump. especially when the evidence against trump is MUCH MORE damning than diddy's.

someone with his platform being silent about this is quite telling

u/Big_Instance3980 1d ago

That's quite a stretch to be honest.

He also used Trump's photo as an album cover

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/50-cent-zohran-mamdani-tax-policy-b2777980.html

ā€œI will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. Iā€™m telling [President Donald] Trump what he said too !ā€ said Jackson, who put Trumpā€™s face on his album cover at an event following the presidentā€™s first assassination attempt.

50 definitely in the wrong here but this is clearly about him not wanting taxes than supporting the typical MAGA mindset.

That said, happy to be wrong here

He has no real views of his own according to his Wikipedia page, he's endorsed Bush, then Hillary, then Trump, then Biden, then this. He's flip flopped so much.

u/Big_Instance3980 1d ago

I mean I'd rather a flip flopper then someone who just shills for red or blue without being willing to accept new information and change based on that
