Rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis James Jackson III, recently shared his thoughts with his over 12 million followers on X, stating his belief that former President Donald Trump might return to office.
Alongside his prediction, Jackson offered a bleak view on the current state of affairs, suggesting the world is nearing its end, which, in his view, diminishes the significance of present concerns. He coupled his commentary with an AI-generated video that portrayed Trump giving a fake rant about hip-hop mogul P. Diddy being implicated in a federal human trafficking investigation.
“The world’s almost over so what are we worried about,” Jackson wrote, followed by a shrugging man emoji.
He criticized the creator of the AI video, remarking, “Who ever made this is f*cked up.” Jackson ambiguously added, “I think Trump's gonna be president again, but I’m not gonna say that,” and included a link to his merchandise website in his post.
The AI video depicts a simulated Trump voice making derogatory comments directed at P. Diddy and referencing both Diddy's and Trump's homes being raided, hinting at a shared experience of legal scrutiny without the courtesy of prior notice. This fabricated rant comes in the context of R. Kelly's legal troubles, drawing a bizarre parallel between the actions attributed to Kelly and the imagined commentary by Trump.
Jackson has previously engaged in public discussions regarding Trump. Last month, he raised eyebrows with a post questioning whether Trump might be a preferable choice in light of New York City's consideration of providing migrants with pre-paid credit cards, expressing his bafflement and indirectly criticizing Mayor Adams.
In 2020, Jackson vehemently opposed Joe Biden's tax plan, provocatively suggesting that voting for Trump could be a viable response to the proposed fiscal policy, despite later retracting his support for Trump ahead of the presidential election.
