Renowned American rapper 50 Cent has paid tribute to former US President Donald Trump following an assassination attempt on Trump’s life. The incident occurred at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, shaking the political and public spheres.
On Sunday, 50 Cent, who is no stranger to surviving attempts on his own life, honored Trump during a performance in Boston. As he sang his famous track “Many Men (Wish Death),” a poignant image was projected behind him. The image was a modified version of his iconic “Get Rich Or Die Tryin'” album cover, featuring Trump’s face.
Fans in the audience cheered loudly at the unexpected tribute, showing their support for both the rapper and the former president. The performance came just a day after the dramatic events at Trump’s rally, where two people lost their lives following the sound of gunfire. Trump himself was hurriedly escorted off stage by security, as reported by the Associated Press.
The FBI has identified the assailant as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. According to reports, Crooks was immediately neutralized by security personnel at the scene, preventing further tragedy.
Reflecting on the incident, 50 Cent seemed to draw a parallel between his own life experiences and Trump’s ordeal. The rapper’s tribute was a striking reminder of his own past, marked by violence and resilience. By incorporating Trump’s image into his performance, he not only showed solidarity with the former president but also highlighted a shared narrative of survival against the odds.
