50 Cent Turned Down $3 Million to Perform at a Trump Rally Because All Politics is Wrong

I understand that I don’t want to get involved in politics. It is stressful and there are people who discuss it in bad faith. When you are told that you have the power to change something, there is an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness, and if you don’t do it, you feel angry. Even if your “side” wins, politicians can get tired of saying one thing and doing eight different things. Politics is not easy and it is not designed for this because it is important.

Events that happen in the political sphere affect people’s lives for better and worse. It’s sad, but it’s true. Some issues should not be politicized, yet they are done so with gusto. Other matters that need to be dealt with in the political court are set aside. Honestly, these sentences can mean different things to different people. That’s part of the problem too. Politics is intentionally divisive.

The problem is that one side is trying to make the situation more divisive than the other. They specialize in culture wars. They take basic human rights and put them under a microscope, looking for every possible reason to deprive them. Then they call foul when people are (rightfully) upset that their lives have been invaded by suit-wearing weirdos who use nothing but hateful campaign slogans. But for rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, everything is bad.

50 Cent revealed on The Breakfast Club that he was offered $3 million to perform Donald Trump’s Nazi rally at MSG. But 50 said no! He turned down all that sweet cash to avoid association with this sloppy hate monger. Hooray, 50! “I’m afraid of politics, so you understand? I don’t like any part of politics,” he explained. “It happens because when you get involved in (politics), regardless of how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.” I… what?

I don’t need someone to give a completely moral reason for rejecting Donald Trump (even if it’s millions). The guy could have said, “I knew I wouldn’t get paid” or “I’m keeping my recommendations to myself.” Everything’s all right! It’s the idea that someone who passionately disagrees with you is evil. Like I said, there are people whose sole purpose is passionate disagreement and trying to weaken the resolve of others, but it’s pretty easy to tell who’s being disingenuous and who’s just a hateful jerk.

On defense in the 50’s you may not be able to tell the difference. He continued by saying, “This is a recipe for confusion that sent Kanye (West) to Japan. He said something about both and now he can only go to Japan. Has Kanye gotten involved in politics? Yes! Did he also praise Hitler and say reprehensible things about Jews?! Triple yes!

This is part of the problem. Kanye didn’t lose dozens of fans and supporters because of his politics. He is a pariah because of his views on issues that we are forced to associate with politics. This isn’t hard to understand unless you just don’t want to or aren’t able to yet I’m trying to get through to Lauren Boebert.
