Rapper 50 Cent uses edited album cover featuring Donald Trump after assassination attempt

Rapper 50 Cent uses edited album cover featuring Donald Trump after assassination attempt
During his concert in Boston, 50 Cent displayed a photoshopped image of Donald Trump's face on the iconic cover of his album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," following an assassination attempt on the former president. Performing "Many Men," a song from his 2003 debut album, 50 Cent used the edited image, which showed Trump’s face on the rapper's shirtless, chiseled body behind shattered glass. "Many Men" references 50 Cent's own near-death experience when he was shot nine times in 2000. The performance was a nod to the shooting at Trump’s campaign rally, where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired multiple shots before being killed by Secret Service snipers. Trump was grazed by a bullet and rushed off stage. Tragically, former Pennsylvania volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore was killed while trying to protect his daughter during the incident. 50 Cent also shared a photo from the concert on social media, captioning it, "Trump gets shot and now I’m trending."
