50 Cent was offered a cool $500,000 to publicly support Donald Trump for President, according to the rapper. In fact, the half-a-mil was just for one high-profile appearance. But the offer simply wasnt worth it, according to 50, who disclosed details of the proposal last week.
Heres what 50 disclosed during Hot 97s Ebro In the Morning last week:
50 Cent: They asked me to go to before [Trump] got elected he was having problems with the African-American vote
Ebro Darden [host]: you dont say.
50 Cent: They asked me they wanted to pay me $500,000, as a part of the campaign, just to make an appearance. And I was like, nah that aint gonna work.
Hot 97 Hosts: [boisterous laughing]
Peter Rosenberg [co-host]: So you said no. You turned down Trump money.
Laura Stylez [co-host]: Thank God.
50 Cent: No Im not gonna do that. Thats not worth it. You would just be remembering that every time you look at me
Rosenberg: Oh, you would be getting crushed.
Ebro: Me and Kanye not good. I mean I had to call Kanye. Steve Harvey he wont talk to me. Kanye none of those motherfuckers are talking to me. Yall ran up in the mans lobby? You couldnt even get a real meeting? [Donald Trump] played you so bad you went to his crib. He didnt even put you on the calendar at the White House, and you thought you was getting a real presidential meeting? You went to the crib right there
50 Cent: He made an appearance at The Trump. [Pauses]. Marketing. For The Trump. This has nothing to do with what youre saying to me. Its just, come see me and promote the
Ebro: Dog and pony show
50 Cent: You can see the president.

Must be tough when you can't find a single well known black person to support you naturally, so you have to try to buy one.
