Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson recently shared that he turned down a $3 million offer from former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party to perform at a rally held at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday night

The rapper and television producer revealed details of the offer during an interview with The Breakfast Club, explaining why he decided to decline both this and a previous invitation to perform at the upcoming Republican National Convention (RNC) this summer.

“I got a call, they wanted me (for) Sunday,”Jackson stated on Tuesday morning’s show, responding to a question about whether he had been approached to endorse Trump’s presidential campaign

They offered me $3 million,” he said, adding that the party also wanted him to perform “Many Men (Wish Death)” at the RNC.

Despite the substantial offer, Jackson was clear that he has no intention of venturing into the political arena.

“I’m afraid of politics, so you understand?” he explained.

“I do not like no part of politics. It’s because when you do get involved in (politics), no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.”

Jackson further discussed his decision to stay away from both politics and religion, drawing a comparison to rapper Kanye West, who has faced backlash for controversial political remarks.

“That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” he noted, referencing West’s recent time spent abroad.

“He said something about both of those things – and now he can only go to Japan.”

The rally at Madison Square Garden, though missing Jackson on the lineup, included appearances by public figures like Hulk Hogan, Dr. Phil, Dana White, and Elon Musk, who expressed their support for Trump.

The event generated significant discussion, with remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico sparking particular controversy.

Referencing ocean pollution, Hinchcliffe remarked, “There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” which led to a wave of backlash.

Following the event, several artists, including Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin, voiced their support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, speaking out against the inflammatory remarks.

As his Breakfast Club interview wrapped up, Jackson’s humor surfaced as he jokingly expressed mock outrage when told the show’s next guest would be Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Why you guys put me into this stuff! I thought we was cool? What you doing man?” he laughed, playfully embracing the hosts as the segment ended.
