Now I want to talk to @GovKathyHochul about the laws preventing him from doing things to make the situation better in New York. and where the proposed 2.4 billion she’s planning on spending on migrants is coming from…NOT MY TAXES! gunitbrands.co.”

Adams previously invited 50 to chat with him during a press conference after his initial Instagram post. “First to Fitty, I have not had one birthday that I have not played his music,” Adams told reporters in part at a City Hall. “I would love to explain it to him so that he can go out and do another tweet of saying, ‘You know what, Eric is just a smart manager, and now we understand why he was elected by the people of the city of New York.'” Check out 50 Cent's comments on speaking with Adams below.
