NYC-Native 50 Cent Says He’ll Put Up Six Figures For Mamdani To Go Away: ‘I’m Not Feeling This Plan’

Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent — born Curtis Jackson — is sounding off on New York City politics, offering a quarter-million dollars to see socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani leave the city.

The Queens-born rap icon torched Mamdani on social media after the self-declared Democratic Socialist floated steep tax hikes on corporations and top earners during an interview on The Breakfast Club. Mamdani directly called out 50 Cent, saying his plan to raise taxes on those making over $1 million a year would cost the rapper “about $20,000.”

50’s response was blunt.

“Where did he come from? Whose friend is this?” he posted, alongside video of Mamdani’s appearance. “I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too.”

The viral clapback came after Mamdani’s shocking primary win over disgraced ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo, positioning him as the Democrat frontrunner in the NYC mayoral race. Mamdani’s platform includes defunding the NYPD, opening government-run grocery stores, and hiking taxes on successful residents and businesses — positions that have alarmed both moderate Democrats and working-class New Yorkers.

President Donald Trump also blasted Mamdani in a Truth Social post, calling him a “100% Communist Lunatic” and mocking the Democratic Party for how far left it’s veered.

“We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous,” Trump wrote. “He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.”

With growing backlash from across the political spectrum — and from cultural heavyweights like 50 Cent — Mamdani’s hard-left candidacy is triggering serious pushback in the city he hopes to govern.
