50 CENT BLASTS MAYORAL CANDIDATE OVER TAX PROPOSAL AND OFFERS HIM $258K TO LEAVE THE CITY

Rapper 50 Cent has offered to pay $258,000 to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for him to leave the city after blasting him about his tax proposal. The rapper's comments came in response to Mamdani name-dropping him on a podcast earlier this month.
In an Instagram post dated June 26, 50 Cent shared a clip of Zohran Mamdani speaking about his tax plans for the rich. The Democratic mayoral candidate name-dropped 50 Cent and claimed he would not be happy with his taxation policy. In response, the rapper fired shots at Mamdani by questioning his identity and offering to pay a lump sum to convince him to leave NYC. "Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan. No. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!" He wrote.
50 Cent's comments were in response to Zohran Mamdani explaining his tax-the-rich policy on an episode of The Breakfast Club podcast dated June 11 2025. The politician said, "We’re talking about corporations that are making millions of dollars, not in revenue, but in profit. And the second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We’re talking about people who make a million dollars a year or more, taxing them just by a flat 2% tax increase."
Mamdani then mentioned 50 Cent and added, "I know if 50 Cent is listening, he’s not going to be happy about this. He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear this is about $20,000 a year."
