The producer of 50 Cent’s “Many Men” is not thrilled about the song’s viral connection to Donald Trump

Darrell “Digga” Branch, who produced 50 Cent’s cult song “Many Men,” is not thrilled that the song is going viral because Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt. In an interview with TMZBranch explained that he speaks out against Trump at every opportunity and therefore finds the whole thing ironic.

“When I first saw the incident, I thought Trump had staged something,” Branch began. “I thought he was up to his old tricks. But it seemed to last an hour, and then social media started going off. I was getting notifications like crazy. Everyone was getting creative.”

Donald Trump holds first rally since the assassination

He continued, “Part of me can understand why people would associate that with the situation. But the other side of me is like, ‘How did that even happen?’ I don’t feel like a guy at all. I’m not going to vote for him. People that know me and are close to me know that I come down hard on him every chance I get. For this situation to happen like this and now all of a sudden the irony of my song being associated with it is just crazy.” Check out his full comments on the situation below.

“Many Men” producer speaks out

Trump was shot multiple times while speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month. The only bullet that hit him grazed his ear. He wore a bandage over it when he spoke at the Republican National Convention just days later. Stay tuned for more updates on 50 Cent on HotNewHipHop.
