50 Cent could perform at the RNC after making a meme about the Trump shooting with the song “Many Men (Wish Death)”

50 Cent is in talks to appear at the Republican National Convention despite creating a meme about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

After the rapper spent the weekend posting jokes about Saturday’s shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, convention officials say the hip-hop mogul “will perform during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, according to a person familiar with him,” CNN journalist Kate Sullivan reported.

On Saturday, 50 Cent posted his song “Many Men (Wish Death)” along with the now widely circulated photo of Trump being protected by the Secret Service during the shooting. He captioned the tweet: “I know the vibe. We’re all in trouble now!”

Following this post, which has since been deleted, the rapper also tweeted a Photoshopped version of his album cover “Get Rich or Die Tryin.” The album cover featured Trump’s head on the rapper’s body. 50 Cent said in the caption: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending.”

Recently, 50 Cent has been making advances towards Republican politicians. In June, he faced online smearing for taking a photo with controversial congressman Lauren Boebert, who was kicked out of a musical last September for “disturbing the public order” after allegedly becoming intimate during the show.

“All you seem to care about is Lauren. What did she do in a dark theater that’s never been done before, my God. Hey, I don’t have chlamydia by the way. LOL,” the rapper said of the situation.
