**50 Cent Reacts to Trump’s Return with Surprise and Hesitation**

Rapper 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to share his reaction to Donald Trump's re-election, which made Trump one of the few presidents, along with Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms. In a bold statement, 50 Cent posted, "I don't care how the fight goes, I'm leaving with the winner's s-t," along with two photos featuring himself and Trump. The post also included a face palm emoji and "congratulations!" along with 50 Cent expressing confusion about the situation.

In the comments section of 50's post, conservative commentator Tomi Lahren showed her support with a comment saying, "Fight fight fight! Win win win!!" However, other followers expressed disappointment and concern. Critics commented, "Congratulations Trump voters. You deserve what's going to happen," "Soulless for money & moves. This is real life not TV," and "Why did you have to post this? You said you were staying out of politics. I am so disappointed."

In a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent revealed that he had turned down a $3 million offer to appear at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden. He said, "Yeah. They offered me $3 million!" confirming co-host Charlamagne Tha God’s query about the event. He also shared that he had been approached with offers to perform at the Republican National Convention. However, 50 Cent explained that he chose to reject these lucrative offers due to his aversion to political entanglement, stating, "I'm afraid of politics, you understand? I do not like it... It's because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, somebody passionately disagrees with you."

A source from Trump's campaign denied parts of the rapper’s claims but did not specify which part of the story was incorrect. During Trump’s failed bid in 2020, 50 Cent initially expressed support for the former president but retracted his endorsement after being called out by his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler. In a follow-up retweet of Handler’s critical comments on The Tonight Show, 50 Cent clarified his stance with, "F-k Donald Trump, I never liked him."

Trump, who at 78 will be the oldest person and the first convicted felon to be inaugurated, continues to generate mixed reactions from the public and celebrities alike.
