Rapper 50 Cent performed on stage Saturday night in Boston, featuring an edited version of his iconic “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” album cover with former President Donald Trump’s face photoshopped over his own. This performance came shortly after the news broke of an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Following the incident, which left Trump with a wound to his right ear, 50 Cent began trending on X. The trend was fueled by references to his famous song “Many Men (Wish Death),” which talks about surviving an attempted shooting.
“Trump gets shot and now I’m trending,” 50cent – @50cent ━ posted on his X
In another social media post, which has since been deleted, 50 Cent shared an image of a bloodied Trump raising his fist with the American flag behind him. The rapper paired the picture with “Many Men” playing in the background and captioned it, “I know the vibes… we are all in trouble now!”
“LAST NIGHT — @50cent performed ‘Many Men‘ in honor of @realDonaldTrump in Boston and edited his ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ cover to have Trump’s face.”
During his Boston performance, 50 Cent displayed the edited album cover image on a large screen while performing “Many Men.”
50 Cent has previously expressed positive views about Trump, noting that he sees black men identifying with the former president, particularly due to his politically motivated legal battles. He has also speculated on the upcoming presidential election, saying, “I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not gonna say that.”
