Leave it to 50 Cent to troll Donald Trump following the former president’s assassination attempt—that’s what Fif does. But did he take things too far this time...?
During a Saturday night performance in Boston, the outspoken rapper superimposed Trump’s face on the cover of his 2003 debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” and put it on screen behind his stage. Fif, who rose to fame in the early aughts in part for surviving a shooting, displayed the photoshop image while performing the song “Many Men.”

The song is about the emcee being shot nine times in Queens, NY, in 2000. The lyrics for the track’s chorus include: “Many men/Many, many, many, many men/Wish death ‘pon me/Lord, I don’t cry no more/Don’t look to the sky no more/Have mercy on me.”
On Saturday night, 50 Cent also shared the altered cover with the caption: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending 🤷🏽♂️.”
On Saturday afternoon, Trump survived an apparent assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pa. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot to death by Secret Service snipers after firing several shots. Former Pennsylvania volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore was killed during the incident.
Last month, 50 Cent was on the receiving end of backlash when he stated that Black men “identified” with Trump and posed for pictures with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and others at the Capitol.
The “21 Questions” rapper was also at the center of controversy back in 2020 when he supported Trump before he decided to ultimately endorse President Joe Biden in the election.
As of now, Fif has not endorsed either candidate in their presumed 2024 presidential rematch.
