AceShowbiz - Rapper 50 Cent, known for hits like "In Da Club" and "Many Men", stirred public interest after disclosing that he was offered $3 million to perform at Donald Trump's controversial rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27. In an interview on "The Breakfast Club", the 49-year-old artist revealed that he rejected the lucrative offer, underlining his strong aversion to political involvement.

"I got a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday," Curtis Jackson, widely known as 50 Cent, confirmed to the show's hosts, including DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God. When pressed about a similar offer for the Republican National Convention in July, 50 Cent noted, "They offered $3 million," specifically for the Madison Square Garden rally, while hinting at another undisclosed offer for the RNC.

The rapper, expressing his discomfort with political engagement, explained, "I'm afraid about politics. Do you understand? I do not like no part about them. It's because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you. That's the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye [West] to Japan."

50 Cent's reference to Kanye West points to the divisive impact of political statements on artists' careers. West, who has faced backlash for his controversial views, has seen his performance opportunities in the United States diminish significantly, leading him to focus on international venues, particularly in Asia.

Interestingly, despite 50 Cent's revealed claims, a Trump campaign official later denied offering any monetary compensation for his appearance. "At no point was he offered money to appear at the rally," an insider close to the campaign told The Post, adding to the conflicting reports surrounding the offer.

This controversy unfolds against a backdrop of notable political endorsements within the music industry. While some artists, like Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, have shown support for Trump, others, including Beyonce Knowles and Eminem, have endorsed Trump's opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. The political divide extends beyond endorsements, as illustrated by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's contentious remarks about Puerto Rico at the Trump rally, which elicited outrage from various celebrities and political figures.

50 Cent himself remains cautious, maintaining a neutral stance despite his previous brief dip into political advocacy, such as his Capitol Hill appearance to promote minority representation in the luxury spirits industry.
