50 Cent Says Donald Trump Offered Him $500,000 to Help Him Get the Black Vote

While there, 50 talked about a number of things, from JAY-Z's4:44 album to who is responsiblefor "killing" hip-hop. However, buried at the end of the interview, around the 37-minute mark, is a very interesting tidbit.

50 reveals that he was offered half a million to stump for President Donald Trump during the election.

Here's what he said:

Before he got elected, they were having issues with the African American vote. They wanted to pay me $500,000 as part of the campaign just to make an appearance.

50, anticipatingthe backlash he would have gotten, turned the offer down:

I was like, Nah, thats not good money. Thats not worth it.'"

Half a million might not have been enough for 50, but we're sure YouTube Stars Diamond & Silk, who were paid less than $1,500 to stump for Trump, would have killed for that price.

Watch the entire 50 interview below.
