American rapper Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, recently revealed that he declined a $3 million offer to perform at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump.
Trump, the Republican candidate, is currently running for a second term in the U.S. presidential election set for November 5.
During an interview on The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent disclosed he “received a call” about the offer and was also approached to perform his hit song “Many Men, Wish Death” at the Republican National Convention this year for a similar amount.
However, he rejected both opportunities, expressing his discomfort with getting involved in politics, which he sees as highly divisive.
He said: “I got a call, they wanted me for Sunday, and they offered me three million dollars for this past Sunday.
“I didn’t even go far back, I didn’t even talk to them about that kind of stuff. I’m afraid of politics. I do not like politics.
“It is because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you.”
Meanwhile, with just a week to go until Election Day in the United States, polls indicate a close race between former President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Trump currently leads in key battleground states, while Harris maintains a narrow lead nationally.
According to FiveThirtyEight’s daily election poll tracker, Harris is ahead in the national polls by a slim 1.4 percentage points, a slight dip from her 1.7-point lead the previous week.
However, Trump’s strength in critical swing states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia is keeping the race highly competitive.
Both candidates have intensified their campaign efforts in these battlegrounds, which include Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
Harris, campaigning in Michigan, pledged to “turn the page on fear and divisiveness,” focusing on unity and change.
