50 Cent has responded to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently telling Complex that he would invite the rapper to a dream dinner party at Gracie Mansion and the supposed beef between the two has been “one-sided.”
“I would throw in 50 Cent, so that we could have a conversation around tax policy,” he told the outlet after naming former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia as one of his guests. “My tax policies are not his favorites, but Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is still one of my favorites of all time.”
He added: “It’s a one-sided beef, yeah. I think we’re always gonna have a disagreement on that tax policy. I wanna increase tax on the wealthiest; he does not want that to happen. But I will still appreciate the song ‘Many Men,’ for whatever our disagreements are.”
The Queens entertainment mogul then took to Instagram and told the mayor to focus on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce upcoming wedding at Madison Square Garden instead of on him. “Man focus on the wedding of the century, Taylor and Travis down at the Garden,” 50 wrote in a post earlier Thursday (June 2). “We don’t have beef, I just think some of these ideas are radical. Stay away from the taxes. OK!”
50 has voiced his displeasure with Mamdani’s “tax the rich” rhetoric and policy agenda since his mayoral run began to catch steam. He offered the then-Democratic mayoral nominee $258,750 and a first-class ticket to leave the city in a since-deleted post. He also posted a tombstone that read, “RIP NYC: FOUNDED 1624 – DIED 2025,” after Mamdani won the election back in November.
