Fans slam 50 Cent for congratulating Trump: "Exposing Diddy while voting for White Diddy?"
50 Cent recently took to Instagram to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Trump will now serve as the 47th president of the United States, securing the required 270+ electoral votes, according to The Associated Press.
The rapper’s post on November 6, 2024, featured two photos, one showing him apparently shaking hands with Trump and another with a selfie of the two. Also known as Curtis James Jackson III, he captioned the images: "I don't care how the fight goes. I'm leaving the winner sh*t. I still don't know what's going on congratulations!"
Fans of Curtis reacted in the comments, with many expressing disappointment over his support for Trump.
One user commented: "You're making a documentary exposing Diddy while voting for White Diddy?"
This reaction referenced a Netflix documentary on Diddy, produced by 50 Cent's company, G-Unit Film & Television. Announced in September, the documentary’s release date is still unknown.

Additional reactions poured in, with some questioning the caption’s meaning and others suggesting Curtis shouldn’t have shared the post, including one who declared they would no longer watch his show Power.

Reportedly, the Queens, New York native declined an invitation to attend Trump’s rally last month. Additionally, he claimed to have turned down another offer from the Republican National Convention, where he was expected to perform Many Men.
However, other personalities, including Elon Musk, attended the rally. Explaining why he declined the offer to perform, 50 Cent told DJ Envy on The Breakfast Club: "I'm afraid of politics, so you understand? I do not like no part of politics. It's because when you do get involved in (politics), no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you. That's the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan."
