50 Cent has weighed in on the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump after his single “Many Men” began trending.
Fif took to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday (July 13) and shared the now-famous photo of former President Trump raising his fist after his ear had been bloodied, soundtracked by 50’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ anthem.

The G-Unit icon posted the photo and wrote: “I know the vibes [palm on face emoji] we are all in trouble now !”
Many users on X were comparing the assassination attempt to 50’s song, in which he raps: “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-ggas tryin’ to take my life away/ I put a hole in a n-gga for fuckin’ with me.”

50 also shared a photo of Trump’s head superimposed onto the cover art for Get Rich or Die Tryin’. He wrote: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending [shrugging emoji] http://humorharmonyweekend.com.”
He then performed the song in Boston on Saturday night, with the edited cover as his backing image.

This isn’t the first time 50 has been affiliated with the businessman-turned-president.
Last month, the “In Da Club” rapper said that he believes Black men “identify” with Donald Trump because they share issues with the justice system.

Speaking to CBS News during his trip to Congress as part of an effort to increase Black ownership in the spirits industry, 50 was asked where he stood on the upcoming presidential election.
Although he said he has yet to decide whether to vote Democrat or Republican, the G-Unit mogul opined: “I see [Black men] identifying with Trump… because they have RICO charges.”
He was referencing the former Apprentice star’s election fraud case in Georgia in which he is charged with violating the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, among other offenses.
While it appeared that 50 Cent was somewhat joking, he has pledged support for the controversial former president in the past.

He previously threw his weight behind Trump in 2020 after criticizing Joe Biden’s tax plans, writing on social media: “WHAT THE FUCK! (VOTE For TRUMP) IM OUT. FUCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind.”
Before that year’s election, however, 50 would switch his endorsement to Biden.
