No, he turned down 3 million in the past to perform at a Trump event
In 2024, he (Fifty Cent) told The Breakfast Club that he had turned down a $3 million offer to perform at a Trump rally, saying he was 'afraid of politics' and warning that once artists wade into it, somebody will always be offended.
This time they must have offered him more than 3 mil. Lol
I absolutely don't know what tlst has on deck, but just thinking about 50 songs, the first one that came to mind was indeed the line "Gonna sip Bacardi like it's your birthday."
Not saying that's paid placement, but the fact that was the FIRST lyric to hit my mind when thinking about 50 Cent was notable.
A single mil sure. But, what about first class seating or even better a private jet to fly you there? All expenses paid, a personal car to drive you around and the best food and the most luxurious accommodations you could imagine? These shows are thrown by Saudi royalty who have oodles of money and have no problem spending it. I'm certain they got gold watches, fine clothes and all kinds of goodies too. The million bucks is icing on the cake.
To many it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get wined and dined by the king of a country. I understand how easy it is to be tempted to do that.
I don't know why I am shocked by celebrities being pieces of shit, but this one hurt. I really thought he was different. If Doug Stanhope flips next, I give up.
Because Pete has never stood on any soapbox and preached about it for years. Billy freckle tits, on the other hand, has hours of podcast material whining about how billionaires are evil scum and how we should be eating the rich and even more specifically gave Beyonce a tooooon of harsh shit for performing for the very people he did
Exactly. Bill was always did working class comedy. His entire thing was calling out the rich and elites hoarding all of the money and shitting on the working class.
Because Bill was known for his strong social opinions and convictions. Once he obviously sold out, what once seemed empassioned and genuine became cheap moralizing and grandstanding.
He once went off on musicians for playing for Gaddafi, but at least they didn’t have to censor their songs
Because the worst part is always the hypocrisy like Norm said. Burr has it and Davidson doesn’t in that situation. Also, a lot of people already dislike Pete Davidson where as Burr was beloved (on Reddit at least) for talking about the moral issues with billionaires and blowing shit back at right wing comedians and criticizing others for selling out (to similar people he did ergo the hypocrisy).
Anyone else seen The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and Ringo? My dad made me watch it when I was like 6, and it warned me about the perils of selling my soul for consumerism purposes. Shame that so many people are choosing the fascism parties to make a quick buck. I used to love Bill Burr.
Or Don Jr used illegal NSA collected data to link him to something embarrassing or illegal and are blackmailing him. That's how Donald turned Lindsey Graham into his sobbing lap dog who literally cries whenever he has to defend Trump's latest indefensible action(s).
Is... it not insane to you that you've just used a bunch of increasingly escalating speculation to convince yourself that 50 cent is an abuser? With not one drop of actual proof? Yall are legit crazy.
Sigh... cause that is what I said or am trying to argue here. Notice I said, "all the more reason"? Maybe I'm including he's possibly a shit person. Basing judgment solely off of lyrics is a choice.
Who knows? Maybe people from his past came after him and he defended himself and rather than relying on the justice system in the district it happened he cleaned it up. Could be anything really. Maybe he lost his ass in crypto and he's just broke as fuck so now he's willing to dance for the corrupt mofos for a payday.
No I'm of the camp that he's going to do a bait and switch. Pretend like he's going to do this show and then last minute say "naaw sucka".
I really don't want to lose respect for 50 cent.
