50 On The Hill!

Did Lauren Boebert feel on 50's gun? Controversial lawmaker poses with 50 Cent.

Hip-Hop's most famous troll goes to Washington.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson along with Benjamin Crump and prominent Black business leaders go to the U.S. Capitol to encourage bipartisan support for Black owners with liquor and food products. 

The media mogul has an alcohol and beverage company and he urges Congress to invest in more businesses for people of color.

“My experience here has been great,” 50 Cent said. “I went to talk to them about economic opportunities for everybody, and it’s really exciting. The response I got makes me feel like that there’s bright days ahead of us.”

The rapper was joined by civil rights attorney Ben Crump.

“Mr. Jackson is one of the most successful Black entrepreneurs in America,” Crump said. “We’re here today to talk about how he’s trying to knock down barriers of equal access and equal opportunity to have a seat at the table in all industries.”

50 Cent owns the liquor company Sire Spirits, which has been in an ongoing legal battle with Suntory Global Spirits. In a post on X early Wednesday, 50 Cent said, “I’m off to DC to talk to the Congressional Black Caucus about how Suntory Global has damaged my business.”

Suntory Global has previously denied any wrongdoing.

50 posed with some of the controversial lawmakers like Nancy Pelosi, Lauren Boebert, Mike Johnson, Joyce Beatty, Wesley Hunt, Steve Scalise and Troy Carter.

50 also gave the far right something to chew on. In regards to Donald J. Trump gaining momentum in Black men, the media mogul said he "relates to them."

Ohio lawmaker Joyce Beatty poses with 50 Cent and Ben Crump.

Trump is very definition of white privilege. He is not a brotha or an ally to Black men.

Those Black men or entertainers who support Trump are identified as African Descendants of Slaves [ADOS]. Some are greedy and pocket liner grifters.

By the way, 50 is very homophobic and transphobic. He mocked Young Buck and Raymond Scott (formerly Benzino) for being in brief relationships with transwomen.

Crump also is representing Master P and Snoop Dogg in their lawsuit against Post Brands and Walmart. The two launched a cereal and dinner company. They are suing Walmart for sabotaging their launch. The company has not placed any of their products on store shelves.
