A 2003 hit by rapper 50 Cent began going viral almost immediately after former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally last week in Pennsylvania.
“Many Men (Death Wish),” a song by the rapper, is reportedly about how he was shot nine times in 2000 and survived.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, performed the song in Boston before an edited photo of his album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” featuring Trump’s head on 50 Cent’s body.
The edited album cover was also distributed on social media, with the rapper writing, “Trump gets shot, and now I’m trending.”
According to HuffPost, in a since-deleted post, 50 Cent also shared an image of former president Donald Trump with a bloody ear and raising his fist.
“I know the vibeswe are all in trouble now!” he captioned the post.
50 Cent told CBS News correspondent Nikole Killion that he sees black men “identifying with Trump” during a visit to Capitol Hill in June, according to The Hill.
The rapper stated he had not decided yet when asked if he had chosen who to support in the upcoming election.
