We’ve become accustomed to celebrities spouting their political opinions. Most actors and entertainers are liberal. And during election seasons, they bombard us with demands that we vote for Democrats. It doesn’t matter how poorly liberals perform in office—we are to vote for them because rich Hollywood types say so.

That’s especially true for artists in the music industry. And it’s doubly true for black entertainers.

But once in a while, one of the rich and famous shocks their own community. Rapper 50 Cent is known for giving unpopular opinions. Recently, he met with lawmakers in D.C. to advocate for black entrepreneurs. While there, he sent the establishment reeling with his revelation about Trump.

From Breitbart:
Rap mogul 50 Cent said black men are “identifying” with former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in the aftermath of Trump’s conviction.

While meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, a reporter asked 50 Cent what he saw “among African American men” in the upcoming 2024 presidential election in November.

“I see them identifying with Trump,” the rapper answered.

“Why do you say that?” the reporter asked.

The rapper responded by stating it was because they have “RICO charges.” …

This is not the first time that the famous rapper has seemingly come out in favor of Trump. In October 2020, 50 Cent criticized Biden’s proposed tax plan in a post on Instagram and seemed to endorse Trump for reelection, writing that people should vote for him.

This was the last thing Democrats expected to come out of 50 Cent’s mouth. The famed rapper and business mogul revealed that black men are “identifying” with Trump over his criminal conviction. He said that some of the men he knows face “RICO charges,” same as the former president.

Now that he is a “convicted felon” it might make Trump appear more sympathetic to black men. It is no secret that black men are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. Many of them think they are unfairly treated by police and prosecutors. Now, they have a presidential candidate saying the same thing about himself.

How did Democrats not realize this was going to happen? Trump has long been an icon among black men seeking to become rich and famous. Now, they have even more reason to look up to him, given his conviction and indictments.

Key Takeaways:

• Rapper 50 Cent revealed that black men are “identifying” with Trump.
• He said black men have convictions and indictments like Trump.
• Trump’s prosecutions by Democrats could make him more relatable to black voters.
