Rapper 50 Cent turned down offers to perform at the Trump rally, RNC

Rapper 50 Cent said he was offered $3 million to perform Donald Trump’s controversial meeting at Madison Square Garden Sunday − and quickly declined the invitation.

“I’m Afraid of Politics,” 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, told “The Breakfast Club” co-hosts, including Charlamagne tha God Tuesday morning.

“Do you understand? I don’t like (politics),” he continued.

The rapper said Trump’s campaign also invited him to perform his hit “Many Men” at the Republican National Convention in July. He said Republicans then also offered a paid gig, but he did not specify an amount.

“It’s because if you do get involved, no matter how you feel, someone will passionately disagree with you,” 50 Cent said in his radio interview on Tuesday about his distaste for politics.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a confirmation request.
