Mamdani, a former rapper himself, wants to increase taxes on New Yorkers, which 50 Cent is not a fan of.”

Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!” 50 Cent said on Instagram.

Here’s a snippet from the podcast where Mamdani name-drops 50 Cent. (WATCH)

This guy wants New Yorkers to pay for their own destruction. Communism will never survive in an American city. 50 Cent is right he needs to leave!

That’s how you clean up New York.

It’s a creative way to save the city.

Many commenters are wondering if there is a symbolic meaning behind 50 Cent offering Mamdani $258,750.

Why such a specific amount? Does 258 represent something?

It’s the mayors annual salary.

He forgot to add all the kick backs though!! 🤣

Would probably have to add at least a cool million to the quarter-million-dollar offer.

Another poster asks why 50 Cent is so opposed to Mamdani, and others quickly obliged.

Why is 50 Cent soo angry??

He’s a very very successful businessman. He sees the disaster that’s coming.

Just a guess here, but he doesn’t come from money and he worked his ass off for what he has and he doesn’t want the government taking his money away from him. This is a common response for people who work really hard for all that they have.

Probably because he doesn’t want NYC to turn into a communist hellhole would be my first guess.

— Stevie Rae (@DeliberativeAss) June 26, 2025

Wait, communist hellholes are a bad thing?

Posters hope the rapper and others get behind incumbent mayor Eric Adams to prevent Mamdani from winning the position in November.

We need more people like 50 Cent to speak out about this and get people behind Mayor Adams. The other guy, Sliwa, has zero chance of winning.

Rap battle: if 50 wins, he drops out, based on honor

I believe 50 cent famously said his taxes are going to go so high he will have to change his name to 25 cent

50 should run for mayor. Yes I’m being serious

We’re not going to lie, 50 Cent as mayor of New York City would be pretty awesome. Anyone is better than Mamdani.
