50 Cent is reportedly on the schedule to perform at the Republican National Convention, which kicked off in Milwaukee on Monday. According to CNN’s Victor Blackwell, the GOP convention currently expects the legendary New York rapper to take the stage; however, “plans could still change.” The move comes after his hit song, “Many Men,” soared back onto the charts in the wake of Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
50 shared an edited version of his Get Rich or Die Tryin’ cover featuring the former president’s face on his body, earlier this week. In the caption, he wrote: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending.” With the report that he may be appearing at the R.N.C., fans on social media have been highly critical of the rapper.
