50 Cent, while meeting with lawmakers Wednesday on Capitol Hill to advocate for Black entrepreneurs and more Black representation in the liquor industry, said he sees Black men “identifying with” Donald Trump, a convicted felon who is still under indictment.
When asked by CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion about which way he’s leaning in the presidential election, the rapper and liquor company owner, who supported Trump in 2020, said he hadn’t made a decision. As for the significance of the Black male vote, he said that Trump’s legal problems have made him appealing as a candidate.
“I see them identifying with Trump,” he said, “because they got RICO charges.”
