50 Cent is being blasted for congratulating Donald Trump on his election win despite having rejected a multimillion-dollar offer to perform at a recent campaign rally.
After Republican candidate Trump, 78, was elected the 47th president of the United States early Wednesday, 50 Cent took to his Instagram to share two throwback photos of the duo together.
“I don’t care how the fight goes, I’m leaving with the winner s–t. I still don’t know what’s going on 🤦 congratulations!” he captioned the post, going on to tag his alcohol brands.
“*deletes every 50cent song in my playlist*,” one of many critics commented beneath the upload.
“Please name one thing you expect him to do that benefits black people. And the explain how you will feel when he grants immunity for policemen who kill unarmed black men. I’ll wait,” someone else remarked.
“Bro hate his own kind,” another person argued.

“Please 50. We don’t have money like you to tolerate/survive whatever this man about to do,” yet another dissenter wrote.
“Why did you have to post this? You said you were staying out of politics. I am so disappointed 😔,” a fifth netizen penned.
50 Cent, 49, recently claimed on “The Breakfast Club” that he turned down $3 million to perform at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City late last month.
Asked whether he had been offered money to perform at the Republican National Convention in July, the musician nodded and said, “Mhm.”
He claimed that neither conversation went “far” because he’s “afraid of politics.”
“When you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you,” 50 Cent explained, adding that he “stay[s] away from religion,” too.
