In a shocking turn of events, the rap world erupted in chaos following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The incident, which transpired during a rally in Pennsylvania, has ignited a wildfire of reactions from various artists, each responding in their unique and often polarizing ways.

50 Cent, ever the provocateur, seized the moment to capitalize on the chaos, selling merchandise themed around the shooting and performing his hit “Many Men” at a Boston show, where he cheekily referenced the incident with a viral meme comparing Trump to himself after surviving multiple gunshots. Social media exploded with hashtags and memes, with “Many Men” seeing a staggering 250% surge in streams as fans turned to music for solace amid the turmoil.

Conversely, Kodak Black, a staunch Trump supporter, took to Instagram Live to defend the former president against criticism from rapper PES, who insinuated that Trump might have staged the shooting for electoral gain. Kodak’s fierce loyalty was palpable as he warned PES to back off, emphasizing the shared success between him and Trump, while also hinting at potential consequences for any further slander.

On the other side of the spectrum, artists like Meek Mill and Kid Cudi expressed shock and condemnation, with Meek hinting at a shift in political allegiance among Black voters. Meanwhile, Lil Pump, another Trump enthusiast, shared a photo of his Trump tattoo, reaffirming his unwavering support.

As the rap community grapples with this unprecedented event, the lines between politics and music blur, revealing a complex landscape of support and dissent.
