50 Cent says black men 'identify with Trump' because of Biden

50 Cent, during a meeting with lawmakers Wednesday on Capitol Hill to advocate for Black entrepreneurs and greater Black representation in the alcohol industry, said he sees Black men “identifying” to Donald Trump, a convicted felon who remains indicted.

Asked by CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nikole Killion about which direction he is leaning in the presidential election, the rapper and alcohol company owner, who supported Trump in 2020, said that he hadn't made a decision. As for the importance of the black male vote, he said Trump's legal problems made him attractive as a candidate.

“I see them identifying with Trump,” he said, “because they were charged with RICO.”

Trump, along with several of his allies, faced a RICO indictment last summer in Georgia for their efforts to overturn the presidential election in that state. As part of this process, during which Trump's photo was taken, some commentators – and Trump himself – thought it might improve his standing within the black community.

As for the purpose of 50 Cent's surprise visit, he said the process went well.

“It’s really exciting for me. I had the chance to meet both parties today, and it feels really good,” he said, according to USA today. “(Legislators) don’t agree on a lot of things, and so getting them to agree to see me was an accomplishment in itself.”

“My experience here has been great,” he added. “I went and talked to them about the economic opportunities for everyone, and it’s really exciting.” The response I received makes me feel like good days lie ahead.
