Rap icon 50 Cent explodes the Internet with a meme about former President Donald Trump
In response to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, rapper 50 Cent shared a meme featuring former President Donald Trump from his classic «Get Rich or Die Tryin» album cover.
At Trump’s rally, suspected shooter Thomas Crooks, 20, opened fire, leaving one person dead and two injured. The former president was shoved off the platform by the Secret Service after receiving a small cut on his right ear. Crooks died as a result of the assault.
«Trump gets shot and now I’m trending,» the rapper and entrepreneur, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wrote on X on Saturday. Trump’s face appears on 50 Cent’s 2003 album cover in the widely shared meme.
Social media’s «Many Men» by 50 Cent serves as a source of infinite memes.
Photos and images showing Trump raising his fist in the air following the rally shooting went viral on social media, with the rapper’s iconic song «Many Men» playing in the background.

On the internet, there is a rendition of the song sung by AI with Trump’s voice. Additionally, there is video of the rapper playing the song live while using the meme as a backdrop, according to a report from Complex.
The popular song features rapping by the New York rapper, who managed to survive nine gunshots in 2000. It goes, «Many men wish death upon me /Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can’t see/ I’m tryin’ to be what I’m destined to be /And n— tryin’ to take my life away.»
Early in June, 50 Cent and civil rights lawyer Ben Crump made an appearance on Washington, D.C.’s Capitol Hill to promote greater possibilities in the alcohol sector. At the time, 50 Cent remarked in an interview with CBS News that while he hadn’t decided who to support in the next election, he could see Black guys «identifying with Trump.»
