Trump Begged Rapper 50 Cent to Attend His Inauguration with a $500K Bribe
50 Cent was on The Late Late Show Tuesday and while sitting next to Massachusetts Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren, he revealed how he could have made more money thanks to Donald Trump.
The rapper and actor told host James Corden that Trump offered him “half a million dollars” just to attend his inauguration in January 2017.
“I didn’t do it because I didn’t know if I could fix the damage,” 50 Cent said.
50 Cent told a similar story to Hot 97 back in 2017, only then the $500,000 offer was for an event leading up to the election in 2016, right around the time 50 Cent was going through bankruptcy issues. But in both instances, his reasons for not accepting the major payday haven’t changed.

“To be honest with you, all money is not good money. You have to be careful with what you’re doing publicly,” 50 Cent said. “I was just like, ‘Whoa.’ Don’t bring me to fix the African-American vote. Bring somebody else. I’ll see you later.”

Fellow guest Warren’s face when 50 drops the bombshell is priceless.
WATCH:
A little later in the segment, the “In Da Club” emcee offers Warren a bit of advice for her own presidential campaign. And then he suggests the two polar opposites “hang out” when she makes the White House.

Based on the fact that @realDonaldTrump doesn’t pay anyone, I would demand the money up front (then get real busy and never show)
