Rap icon 50 Cent confirmed after a bipartisan meet-and-greet on Capitol Hill that Black people, particularly men, are identifying with former President Donald Trump following his controversial conviction.
The Grammy Award-winning artist and savvy entrepreneur schmoozed with lawmakers from both parties while lobbying for Black entrepreneurs and business owners.
During the meeting, one reporter asked 50 Cent, given name Curtis Jackson, about the prevailing mood among Black men before the 2024 presidential election.
“I see them identifying with Trump,” he confidently responded.
The reporter followed up: “Why do you say that?”
According to the music mogul, it was because the government has filed “RICO charges” against Trump.
Per Breitbart:
In August 2023, Trump was indicted on a racketeering charge.
Under the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which was passed in 1970, there are around 35 offenses that are defined as racketeering. Some examples of racketeering charges consist of gambling, murder, kidnapping, bribery, and drug dealing.
Most recently, Trump was found guilty of 34 charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to adult entertainment star, Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
This is not the first time that the famous rapper has seemingly come out in favor of Trump. In October 2020, 50 Cent criticized Biden’s proposed tax plan in a post on Instagram and seemed to endorse Trump for reelection, writing that people should vote for him.
In February of this year, 50 Cent suggested that “maybe Trump is the answer” after New York City Mayor Eric Adams proposed distributing pre-paid credit cards to migrants staying in the city.

Trump has become a folk hero
He said, they’re coming after me, next they’ll be coming after you. That was in 2016 & 2020.
He called it like he had a crystal ball and was 100%
When they try to kick him down, he stays standing and defiant. Unwaivering. Like a true folk hero.
You can thank the Democrats for showing their true colors
