50 Cent turned down playing for Trump

The program host DJ Envy asks if it's true that 50 Cent, or Curtis Jackson as he's actually named, was offered money by the Trump administration to support the presidential candidate.

Yes, I got a call. They wanted me to perform on Sunday, says 50 Cent.

His song "Many men" was previously used at Republican conventions during the summer. The rapper doesn't distance himself from Trump's politics in the interview, but explains that he's "not comfortable" taking a political stance.

I didn't even talk to them about those things. I'm afraid of politics, he says.

50 Cent also explains that it's because of his political statements that his colleague Kanye West now mostly performs in Japan.

It doesn't matter what you say or feel. If you get involved, there will always be people who don't agree. And that's the reason for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan, he says.
