50 Cent Turned Down Donald Trump’s $3 Million Offer to Perform at Madison Square Garden Rally
50 Cent confirmed that he was offered $3 million to perform at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally but declined — 'I'm afraid of politics.'
During a segment of the interview, 50 is asked directly by host DJ Envy whether it’s true that Trump offered him money to endorse him. 50 is referencing the toxic political statements West has made over the past couple of years that have effectively banished him from performing in the United States and Europe. While he staged public listening sessions for “Vultures,” his album with Ty Dolla $ign, in the U.S. earlier this year, the appetite for them has dwindled and he has since been staying in Japan and holding listening sessions in China — a confusing situation as the Chinese government has become increasingly repressive in recent years, but apparently sees some political or publicity value in allowing West to perform.
