50 Cent faces backlash for congratulating Trump after declining rally performance

Rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, faced backlash for congratulating Donald Trump on his election win. This came after he declined a $3 million offer to perform at Trump's rally in October, citing a desire to avoid politics. In an Instagram post, 50 Cent shared photos with Trump and wrote, "I don't care how the fight goes, I'm leaving with the winner." Critics on social media accused him of hypocrisy for celebrating Trump's victory while previously rejecting the performance opportunity. Some users questioned his stance on politics, recalling his earlier comments about avoiding divisive topics. While many criticized him, others defended his choice to align with Trump, suggesting it was a business decision.
