50 Cent says “Vote for Trump” after seeing Joe Biden’s tax plan

"F*ck New York"

Rapper 50 Cent has endorsed Donal Trump in an Instagram post, urging his followers to vote for the President in next month's election. He posted what appears to be a screenshot from CNBC that broke down Democrat candidate Joe Biden's tax plan. It was this tax plan that seemingly convinced 50 to vote for Trump. "What the fuck! (Vote for Trump) I'm out," he said in the post. "Fuck New York. The Knicks never win anyway," he continued, referencing the city's basketball team. He finished up the post by saying: "I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people, 62% are you out of ya fucking mind." In 2016, 50 Cent said that Donald Trump running for President would be the same as Kanye West running, while appearing on Conan O'Brien's talk show. "There’s really no difference between Kanye running or Trump running is what you’re pretty much saying?" asked O'Brien, to which 50 Cent responded, "I am saying that." Of course, Kanye West is himself now currently running his own Presidential campaign against Donald Trump. Last week, fellow rapper Ice Cube was criticised for working with Donald Trump's re-election campaign. Ice Cube said that he had been approached by both Republicans and Democrats to participate with his Contract With Black America campaign, and had found the Republicans more receptive. He went on to say that "Black progress is a bipartisan issue" and he was expecting to "talk to both sides of the aisle" with his campaign.

Black progress is a bipartisan issue. When we created the Contract With Black America we excepted to talk to both sides of the isle. Talking truth to power is part of the process.
