Rapper's remarks come as media and Dems panic over black Americans switching parties to vote for Trump.
While in DC, 50 Cent also snapped photos with Republican legislators, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.)
Rap star 50 Cent, AKA Curtis Jackson, says Donald Trump is resonating with African Americans following the former president’s Deep State persecution.
Speaking to reporters during a surprise visit to Congress on Wednesday, Jackson was asked about sentiments in the black community ahead of the 2024 election.
“What do you see among African American men in this election?” a reporter asked 50 Cent.
“I see them identifying with Trump,” he replied, while claiming he’s not yet decided who to vote for.
“Why do you say that?” the reporter followed up.
“Because they got RICO charges,” Jackson responded.
The rapper’s remarks come as the media has been panicking in recent weeks over Democrats losing support from black voters, with polls showing unexpected surges for Trump.
The “In da Club” rapper, who owns a cognac and champagne line, was in Washington DC speaking out for more black representation in the liquor industry.
While at the Capitol, Jackson also took the opportunity to meet and take photos with various Republican legislators, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.)
Jackson has previously criticized Democrat policies destroying America including zero bail policies for criminals, Covid restrictions and skyrocketing inflation.
He’d better watch out or Chelsea Handler will be offering him sex again to stop talking positively about Trump.
He gets it. Inflation has made him two bits. He wants his quarter back.
It’s good that 50 Cent is not afraid to be seen with Republicans. But like most blacks, he’s missing the big picture. It’s not a RICO thing.
Democrats want to keep blacks poor and dependent on government handouts.
Trump wants to return industry (and good jobs) to the cities.
50 Cent and Mike Tyson are two major black stars who give respect and possibly votes, to Trump. Shockingly to the left, but blacks may not like high inflation, transgender lunacy, the invasion at the border, malicious persecutions... The Rats always go too far.
Well yeah, unless they want to ‘identify’ with an all-powerful centralized govt that railroads people when they can’t get their way.
blacks should recognize the justice Trump received... it was the same type of justice they received from Democrats during Jim Crow!
I would think by now he’d be Buckfiddy
Trump needs to start using the term Jim Crow Justice to describe the DOJ.
See this is why I think Trump out to pick Scott or Donalds as veep. They would only add to his popularity with blacks and liberals could not criticize them as that of course would be racist.
I would include Carson in the mix, but he is too old and too nice.
Not at Alvin Bragg’s church They gave Bragg a standing ovation.
That’s fiddy, BTW.
When he runs for Congress, then Trump can be for Fiddy.
Fiddy you hot.
I always liked this dude. Never a big rap fan, but I liked his first album, and he always kept a cleaner than typical lifestyle. What really impressed me is how he called out P Diddy earlier than anyone, and went after the powerful mogul and despicable homo/rapist/assaulter/pedophile repeatedly - at the cost of his own career. Now Diddy is undergoing a deserved undoing, and 50 Cent just made a documentary about him and sold it to Netflix for millions!
It was a joke, and a funny one. He tends to deadpan one-liners.
Has started in and producer Power Series
” But like most blacks, he’s missing the big picture. It’s not a RICO thing.”
That was humor on his part. Trust me.
Exactly! That kind of line is hilarious to the people it’s aimed at. And delivered deadpan. The squares won’t get get it.
50 cents is also voice of reason to blacks.
