50 Cent declines $3M offer from Trump to perform at MSG rally

Rapper and TV producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson recently turned down a $3 million offer to perform at former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden. Speaking on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, 50 Cent shared details about the proposal, saying, "I got a call, they wanted me [for] Sunday…They offered me $3 million." Jackson also revealed he had previously declined an invitation to perform his song "Many Men (Wish Death)" at the Republican National Convention, underscoring his decision to stay away from politics and religion.

The episode ended humorously as Jackson playfully reacted to the hosts connecting him with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, "I thought we was cool?" before embracing them and ending the interview.

Jackson’s stance marks a deliberate choice to focus on his music and television career while avoiding the polarizing landscape of politics. The Hollywood Reporter noted that other public figures, such as Hulk Hogan and Dr. Phil, have appeared at recent Trump rallies, but Jackson remains committed to a neutral position.
