50 Cent can’t buy it.
The rapper recently revealed that he was offered $3 million to perform at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on October 27.
In a segment above Breakfast Club on October 29, 50, host DJ Envy asked if it was true that Trump gave him money to endorse him.
“I got a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday,” 50 Cent replied.
The pair then engaged in a quick exchange and Envy repeated reports that 50 people had been asked to perform his hit “Many Men” at the Republican National Convention over the summer .
“They offered $3 million,” 50 replied, seemingly confirming the amount he was offered to perform at the rally, but also confirming that he was asked about both events.
“I haven’t even gone that far… I don’t talk to them about that kind of thing. I’m scared about politics,” he laughed.
“You understand? I don’t like anything about them,” 50 added.
Envy continued to push 50 Cent on a previous conversation topic about gang activity.
“So there is no group talk and no politics!” 50 smiled back.
“That’s because when you get into it, no matter how you feel, there’s going to be someone who disagrees with you. That’s the recipe for confusion that sent Kanye to Japan. He said something about both of those – and now he can just go to Japan,” he added.
A representative for Trump’s campaign has not yet confirmed whether 50 cent’s claim that Trump wanted him to perform at the rally is true.
However, Sunday’s protest was not without controversy, with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico going viral and leading many celebrities to endorse Kamala Harris as a result.
“There is literally an island of trash floating in the middle of the ocean,” Hinchcliffe said. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

This prompted Bad Bunny to endorse Harris for president and share the news with his 45 million followers. He retweeted a video of Harris talking about the importance of the current election for Puerto Ricans.
“I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he didn’t do,” she said in the reposted segment. When Puerto Rico needs a talented leader.”
