I turned down $3m offer to perform at Trump’s New York rally – 50 Cent

American rapper, Curtis Jackson, popularly known as 50 Cent, has claimed that he rejected a $3m offer to perform at Republican Party candidate Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in New York.

He disclosed this during an interview on The Breakfast Club.

50 Cent confirmed that he “got a call” and had also been asked to perform his song ‘Many Men, Wish Death’ during this year’s Republican National Convention for a similar sum.

He explained that he turned down the offers because he’s afraid of politics due to its controversial nature.

“I didn’t even go far… I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics.

“It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you,” he said.
