Rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, hopped on X recently and made a very bold prediction to his 12 million+ followers, stating that former U.S. President, Donald Trump, would be president once again.

This was part of a post that Jackson shared with an AI-doctored (fake) video, which showed Trump offering comments on Sean Diddy Combs’s recent federal human trafficking investigation, and the raids on his homes.
Rapper 50 Cent – “The World Is Almost Over”
Jackson shared the AI video of Trump, along with a caption that read, “The world’s almost over so what are we all worried about.
Whoever made this is fucked up. I think Trump’s gonna be president again, but I’m not going to say that.” In addition, he provided a link to his website, gunitbrands.com.
The “messed up” thing Jackson was referring to in the post on X was the AI-manipulated video of Trump talking about Diddy’s home raid and sex trafficking allegations and also made reference to R. Kelly and his charges. It was an edit from an old video of the former president, superimposed with explicit language.

R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison when he was found guilty of racketeering and eight counts of sex trafficking in 2022.
Rapper 50 Cent – This Isn’t His First Trump Controversy
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent has stirred up controversy when it comes to Donald Trump. The rapper first endorsed Trump back in October 2020, ahead of the election for fear that a vote for Joe Biden would mean a vote for higher taxes.
Still, he faced a ton of backlash for the statement, including one from former gal pal, comedian Chelsea Handler who stated that 50 “used to be” her favorite boyfriend.

More recently, the rapper noted in February that perhaps, “Trump is the answer” after realizing that the New York government was thinking about handing migrants pre-paid credit cards.
