50 Cent has encouraged his followers to “vote for Trump,” even if he “doesn’t like black people,” citing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s tax plan as his chief reason for making the endorsement.
50 Cent, who backed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 race, announced his 2020 presidential election endorsement on Instagram, writing in part: “F—K NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care [if] Trump doesn’t like black people — 62% are you out of ya f—king mind,” referring to an attached image showing the uppermost tax rates under Joe Biden’s tax plan.
Per the photo from CNBC’s ‘Power Lunch,’ high earners in 50 Cent’s native New York City would pay a maximum of 62 percent income tax under the proposed Biden tax plan, followed by New Jersey (60 percent) and New York State (58 percent). Californians would face the largest tax rate, the image relays, at a maximum of 62.6 percent.
With just two weeks remaining until the presidential election, 50 Cent’s message has made quite a splash on social media, and more than a few supporters – and opponents – of the president were continuing to weigh in at the time of this writing. Thus far, the original Instagram post has garnered in excess of 405,000 likes and thousands of comments. 50 Cent also published the endorsement on Twitter, where the corresponding tweet has received over 80,000 likes and nearly 33,000 retweets.
50 Cent has elaborated upon the endorsement with two additional Instagram posts. The first of these messages, featuring a Fox News clip discussing the “Candy Shop” artist’s statement, reads: “Yeah, I don’t want to be 20 cent. 62% is a very, very, bad idea. I don’t like it.”
The second follow-up message features a meme centering on the rapper calculating his taxes, as well as an acknowledgment of the comical image from Jackson III, who wrote: “It is what it is man LOL.”
This development arrives about five days after it came to light that Ice Cube had collaborated on the Trump administration’s “Platinum Plan” for African Americans. The rapper and actor subsequently pushed back against the resulting criticism, emphasizing that he’d spoken to both Biden and Trump’s teams concerning his recently released “Contract With Black America.” Additionally, Ice Cube relayed that he hasn’t endorsed either of the 2020 presidential candidates.
In this vein, after an altered image showing 50 Cent and Ice Cube wearing Trump hats began circulating on social media today, many quickly noted that the photo had been edited. Ice Cube posted the original picture (in which he dawned a Big3 cap and Jackson III wore a New York Yankees hat) to celebrate 50 Cent’s 45th birthday in July.
Fuck Fifty. Loser has-been.
You are a typical Democrat – white supremacist that hates black people.
Honesty and truth is a problem for socialist democrats. Blacks will be obliterated under democrat Marxism.
Fascism under Trump is worse (from experience).
Trump is one of the greatest presidents ever. The democrat party is a treasonous bunch of marxists who hate the US.
Wanna fight? Guess who is more determined and better armed.
Love it when someone throws our “Marxism” and applies it incorrectly, because they don’t know what it means. You’re a moron.
Marxist=Antifa=BLM=democrat party.
Pretty easy to understand. All need to be destroyed at the ballot box or otherwise. Watch it happen, fukwit.
Wrong, but nice biased agenda-based attempt. That’s been your spiel all along and you’re still wrong no matter how much you spew the same incorrect information.
OK, smarty Juliepants, you tell us deplorables what “Marxism” means. Go ahead, professor.
Democrats are the party that went to war to keep slavery, created the KKK, Jim Crow laws, segregation…. On and on… The Black community needs to wake up and stop supporting the real racists. There are hundreds of videos of Joe Biden supporting racist policies, attending KKK funerals, etc… Don’t argue with me just look it up people!
Look up history, then look up more current information on the party. Dems started off badly, then corrected their ways. Republicans have traditionally help minorities down in recent times. Don’t present half the story and call it all you need to know. Typical strategy when you want to push people into leaning one way.
Now it is coming out that Hunter Biden is a pedo, just like Joe Biden. Images found on his laptop turned over to the police.
And, this is the creepy family democrats want to put in power. Of course, it makes sense—Weinsten, Epstein, Clinton, and Jeffery “Zoomspank” Toobin are all democrat golden boys.
Zzzz…same bs claim with no support. You’re a pedo. Your mom told me. Whatever.
All he cares about is his money. Will even sell out his own people. So Trumpian.
MAGA!!! TRUMP 2020!!!!
Mow down one democrat a day.
Moe down? Promoting violence against other American citizens is way out of line. Settle down. You’re way out of line.
Tell that to your BLM/Antifa/demoncrat friends.
50 doesn’t want to pay more in taxes. I get that. Joe Biden said he would raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, not those making under $400k. Nobody spending time posting comments on DMN makes over that amount, so nobody should be upset with the Biden tax plan. If you do make over $400k and are posting to this site, you’re an idiot.
Biden will destroy the US economy even more than the coronavirus hoax.
He doesn’t worry though because he and Hunter took millions in kickbacks from the Chinese.
