50 Cent Trolls Donald Trump Following Assassination Attempt: Did He Go Too Far?

Rapper 50 Cent Faces Backlash for Trolling Donald Trump Following Assassination Attempt

In a bold move that has sparked controversy, rapper 50 Cent took aim at former President Donald Trump during a recent performance in Boston. The outspoken artist superimposed Trump’s face on the cover of his 2003 debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin'” and displayed it on screen behind him while performing the song “Many Men.”

The song, which details 50 Cent’s experience of being shot nine times in Queens, NY, includes lyrics about facing death and seeking mercy. The rapper also shared the altered album cover on social media with the caption: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending 🤷🏽‍♂️.”

This provocative act comes just hours after Trump survived an apparent assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pa. The gunman was shot dead by Secret Service snipers, but a former volunteer fire chief lost his life in the incident.

50 Cent has faced backlash in the past for his controversial statements and actions, including posing for photos with Trump supporters and initially supporting the former president in the 2020 election. Despite this, the rapper has not yet endorsed a candidate for the presumed 2024 presidential rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden.

As the debate rages on about the appropriateness of 50 Cent’s latest stunt, one question remains: did he take things too far this time? Only time will tell how this latest controversy will impact the rapper’s reputation and career.
