50 Cent Congratulates Donald Trump On His Election Victory

50 Cent is no longer avoiding politics as he celebrates Donald Trump‘s return to the Oval Office.

The Hip-Hop icon marked the president-elect’s victory over Kamala Harris on Instagram, singing a new tune despite refusing to endorse anyone as the next president.

In the final weeks to election day, 50 Cent claimed Donald Trump’s team offered him $3 million to perform at a rally. However, he not only refused but claimed he would never be involved in politics.

In his Instagram post, 50 Cent shared two throwback pictures with Trump. The first captured the pair rocking similar black tuxedos with white shirts as the rapper shook the politician’s hand. They posed for a close-up selfie on the second slide.

50 Cent penned his love for Trump in the post’s caption, implying that he cared more about there being a winner rather than the person who won. His message read:

“I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner sh-t. I still don’t know what’s going on. Congratulations!”

The “In Da Club” hitmaker’s words sparked mixed reactions from fans, with many referencing his previous stance against politics. Others saw him as a sellout, while some supported his stance.

The rapper’s support did not sit well with some fans, with one bluntly declaring: “50 you are a disappointment to me.” Another echoed: “Nah, 50, I love you down… but you losing me with this nonsense. Come on.”

“I told y’all he was a silent Trump Supporter,” a third noted, while a fourth added: “Why did you have to post this? You said you were staying out of politics. I am so disappointed.”

A displeased fan noted they might not understand or agree with 50 Cent; however, “Business is business. It’s team you for me, always.” A supporter penned similar thoughts, wondering:

“Why do y’all get mad at other people’s political views?! We agree to disagree on many things in Life & this is where y’all draw the line.”

50 Cent’s comments about politics came during a late October appearance on “The Breakfast Club” radio show. The Blast covered that a snippet of the episode was shared on Instagram, capturing the record producer’s confessions.

When host DJ Envy asked the rapper if Trump offered money to perform at his Madison Square Garden, 50 Cent confirmed he got the call. He noted they wanted him to perform his hit “Many Men” song and made the same request during the Republican National Convention.

“They offered me $3 million,” he said about the Madison Square Garden rally. When asked why he rejected Trump’s offer twice, 50 Cent declared that he would never get involved in “gangbang and politics,” saying:

“I didn’t even go for it. I haven’t talked to them about that kind of stuff. I’m afraid of politics, bro. You understand? I do not like no part about them.”

50 Cent’s refusal to be involved in politics stemmed from fear. He implied that putting his nose where it did not belong could ruin his career, saying: “It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.”

He also shaded Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, for getting involved in politics. “That’s the formula for the confusion that has sent Kanye to Japan. He said something about both of those things and now he can only go to Japan,” 50 Cent claimed.

At the time, fans applauded the Hip-Hop sensation for treading carefully and avoiding Trump’s campaign. One commenter penned: “I think folks don’t realize… if Eminem ain’t phuckin’ with Trump, 50 ain’t phuckin’ with Trump!”

Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 presidential election after crushing Harris in votes. He went over the necessary threshold of 270 electoral votes and proudly took the stage even before the win was official.

The Republican promised to heal the country and gloated about winning the electoral and popularity votes. He thanked his wife Melania, who was there by his side, for her support and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Trump’s gratitude extended to his active supporters Dana White, Elon Musk, and U.S. Open golf champ Bryson DeChambeau. His victory made history as the second president after Grover Cleveland to leave the White House and return for a second term 4 years later.

The politician is also the first convicted felon ever to be elected president. His sentencing in New York was scheduled for later this month; however, that might not hold following his victory, per TMZ.

While Donald Trump’s win finally earned him 50 Cent’s support, would the rapper have posted about him if Kamala Harris won?
