Internet Filled with 50 Cent ‘Many Men’ Memes After Trump Attack; Rapper Reacts
Rap icon 50 Cent shared a meme of former President Donald Trump on the cover of his famous album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” This was in response to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Suspected gunman Thomas Crooks, 20, opened fire at Trump’s rally, killing one person and wounding two others. The former president was hit in the right ear and was quickly taken off the stage by the Secret Service. Crooks died after the attack.
Rapper and business mogul Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, posted on X on Saturday, “Trump got shot and now I’m trending.” The viral meme shows Trump’s face on 50 Cent’s 2003 album cover.

In the popular song, the New York rapper, who survived being shot nine times in 2000, raps: “Many people wish me dead / There’s blood in my eyes, friend, and I can’t see / I’m trying to be what I’m destined to be / And n—’s trying to take my life.”
In early June, 50 Cent and civil rights attorney Ben Crump visited Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to press for more opportunities in the alcohol industry. Speaking to CBS News, 50 Cent revealed he hasn’t yet decided who to vote for in the upcoming election, but said many black men identify with Trump.
