50 Cent said he’ll pay a pretty penny to get rid of Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani and his tax-the-rich plan — after the Big Apple mayoral hopeful name-dropped the Queens rapper on a popular podcast.
“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,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram Wednesday.
The 49-year-old hip hop star, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, was firing back at comments Mamdani made about raising taxes while appearing on “The Breakfast Club” earlier this month.
The comment he was responding to came from Mamdani during a June 11 interview as he was about his plan to tax businesses and wealthy Americans.
“We’re talking about corporations that are making millions of dollars, not in revenue, but in profit,” Mamdani said at the time. “And the second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We’re talking about people who make a million dollars a year or more, taxing them just by a flat 2% tax increase.”
“I know if 50 Cent is listening, he’s not going to be happy about this. He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear this is about $20,000 a year,” Mamdani added.
