50 Cent stirs buzz with Trump-themed 'Many Men' performance in Boston

50 Cent performs Many Men against an altered album cover featuring Trump's face following the assassination attempt.

50 Cent became a trending topic on X, previously known as Twitter, after the shocking news of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, PA. 

The incident, which resulted in injuries to Trump and others, saw the rapper sharing his immediate reactions online. 

In a widely circulated post, 50 Cent uploaded a photo of Trump raising his fist while being escorted off stage by Secret Service, captioning it, "I know the vibes [man facepalm emoji] we are all in trouble now!" 

The post set the tone for a series of viral interactions that captured the public's attention.

The rapper then stirred the online community by sharing an altered image of his 2003 album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," featuring Trump's head in place of his own. 

This creative spin resonated with fans, sparking a flood of memes and discussions drawing parallels between Trump's incident and 50 Cent's own brush with death in 2000. 

"Trump gets shot and now I'm trending," 50 Cent remarked, alongside a man shrugging emoji. 

Additionally, his track "Many Men (Wish Death)" surged in popularity, with fans creatively syncing it to edited videos of Trump. 

This flurry of activity culminated in a live performance by 50 Cent in Boston, where he used the Trump-themed album cover as a backdrop, further fueling the dialogue surrounding the event.

The incident at the rally, where Trump sustained a minor ear injury, has ignited a flurry of reactions across the music industry and beyond, with artists like Plies, Soulja Boy, Sleepy Hallow, Kid Cudi, and ScHoolBoy Q sharing their thoughts.
