50 Cent Reveals Why He Thinks Some Black Men Identify With Donald Trump

by

50 Cent is no stranger to sharing his opinions on just about anything. For the most part in recent months that’s related to Diddy as 50 has been sharing near daily posts about the rap mogul. Ever since Cassie first filed a lawsuit against him last year kicking off months and months of new allegations and drama 50 has been cracking jokes about every new development. That peaked when Lil Rod’s controversial lawsuit first arrived back in November. His claims roped others like Meek Mill into the mix, sparking a huge beef between Meek and 50 that’s still going on.

50 has also never been shy about talking politics, something that’s gotten him in hot water multiple times in the past. One way is trough his on again off again relationship with Donald Trump. He’s endorsed and un-endorsed the controversial politian multiple times. Most notably, back in 2020 he pledged his support for Trump based on tax policies casually glancing off his own claim that Trump “hates black people.” That’s why it’s so strange that he weighed in again during a recent trip to Congress where he was advocating for black ownership in the spirits industry. Check out what he had to say about the recently convicted felon running for president later this year below.

50 Cent Speaks On Donald Trump Once Again

During an interview with CBS News, he gave his brief thoughts on the appeal of Donald Trump to black voters. “I see [Black men] identifying with Trump… because they have RICO charges,” he says in the interview. That’s in reference to the racketeering charges he and some of his allies are facing in Georgia over alleged election fraud.

What do you think of 50 Cent’s perspective on Donald Trump while visiting Congress earlier this week? Do you agree with him that some black voters may find him more appealing because of his ongoing legal issues? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jam Master Jay’s Sons Shoot Down Drug Trafficking Narrative Around Father’s Murder

by

Jam Master Jay’s sons, Maurice and TJ Mizell, are tired of hearing the narrative that their father’s death was the result of his involvement in drug trafficking. They do, however, admit money was likely involved. Appearing on Tuesday night’s episode of CBS News‘ After The Verdict, the two discussed the guilty verdict for Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington in the murder trial.

“We strongly believe that [the narrative he was selling cocaine] is false,” the pair said, according to HipHopDX. “We believe that obviously there was money involved and whether that was his money or not, it’s not like he was selling drugs. Jam Master Jay was also known for buying cars for everyone on the block on Christmas. When Christmas came around, three people were getting a Toyota, y’know? And we have a big family and we never longed for anything.”

An investigation into the late producer’s death revealed that Jordan and Washington murdered Jay after he cut them out of a deal to move cocaine. “More than two decades after they killed Jason Mizell in his recording studio, Jordan and Washington have finally been held accountable for their cold-blooded crime driven by greed and revenge,” United States Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement provided by the Eastern District of New York. “That the victim, professionally known as Jam Master Jay, was a Hip Hop icon and Run-DMC’s music was born in Hollis, Queens, in this very district, and beloved by so many, adds to the tragedy of a life senselessly cut short.” Check out his son’s comments on his death below.
