50 Cent Claims Black Men Will Vote for Trump Because of RICO

50 Cent’s recent visit to Capitol Hill, during which he advocated for Black inclusion in the luxurious spirits industry, was overshadowed by his controversial statement about Donald (*50*) 2024 presidential campaign.

The hip-hop mogul was in front of the Capitol on June 5. to speak with reporters when CBS News correspondent Nikole Killion asked him in regards to the “importance of African Americans” within the upcoming presidential election, he reports.

“I can see how they identify with Trump,” 50 Cent replied.

When asked why he thought Black men would vote for Trump, 50 Cent replied, “Because they face RICO charges.”

When asked who he would vote for in November, the G-Unit founder replied that he was still undecided. This comes 4 years after he expressed public support for (*50*) 2020 campaign before backtracking on his comments.

After posting a clip of the interview on social media, 50 Cent faced backlash from many who believed his comments about black men voting for Trump were rooted in racism and ignorance.

“Well, black men are not a monolith, so this statement is bullshit,” one person wrote in response.

“50 Cent does NOT speak and I cannot express this strongly enough, he does NOT speak for Black Americans!” another person added.

50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler also weighed in on the subject and slammed the rapper for seeming to support Trump. However, Handler also faced criticism for her tone-deaf reasoning as to why 50 Cent shouldn’t support the previous president.

“I had to remind him that he’s black, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump,” the comedian said in a video circulating on social media.

Now Handler faces accusations of being a “racist” and “insulting the intellectual autonomy of black people.” Meanwhile, 50 Cent has yet to reply to the criticism he’s receiving over his comments about Donald Trump.
