50 Cent Says He Was Offered $3 Million to Perform at Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally

50 Cent says he received a multimillion-dollar offer to take part in a recent Trump rally in New York.

Tuesday, 50 stopped by The Breakfast Club, with speculation of such an offer brought up toward the end of the 44-minute conversation.

“I got a call,” 50, whose first-ever Vegas residency is set to launch in December, told the hosts. “They wanted, well, Sunday.”

Sunday, as you’ve no doubt been made privy to against your will, Trump and company held a rally at Madison Square Garden. During the event, the usual traits associated with MAGAism were on display, including “Antichrist” ramblings and the like. 50 says “they offered me $3 million” for the event, an invitation he turned down, not unlike a prior offer related to the Republican National Convention in July. At the time, 50’s 2003 Get Rich or Die Tryin’ track “Many Men” had been enjoying a resurgence following an attempted assassination targeting Trump.

According to 50, the RNC invitation also saw him being offered money, though he didn’t specify how much, instead noting that such discussions didn’t get far.

“I wasn’t talking to them about that kind of stuff,” 50 said on Tuesday’s Breakfast Club episode. “I’m afraid of politics, bro.”

Elaborating further, 50 pointed to what he sees as two issues he’s reticent to get too involved with, namely politics and religion.

“I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics,” he said. “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. I don’t wanna get in that.”

As for “Many Men,” 50 was asked earlier into the Breakfast Club chat to give his take on why he thinks the track is having another pop culture moment, 21 years removed from its initial release. See more above.

The 2024 presidential election is set for Nov. 5. Several polls currently give Kamala Harris, who became the nominee after current POTUS Joe Biden stepped aside earlier this year, a very slight advantage over Trump. That lead, however, is indeed a small one, with the focus in recent days shifting to key states like Georgia and Michigan.
