Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was outraged by the recent move of the New York City government to distribute prepaid cards containing $53 million worth of funds for migrants to use to purchase goods at bodegas, groceries, and delis.
According to NYC Mayor Eric Adams, this plan will replace the city’s meal distribution program for asylum seekers.
Adams further alleges that this scheme would save the city $600,000 a month or $7.2 million annually.
Mobility Capital Finance will implement the pilot program and will first benefit 500 families. The prepaid cards will be given to migrants arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel to “help them buy food.”
Each card is loaded with $1,000 to provide for a family of four and will be replenished every 28 days.
According to an article by the New York Post, “The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.”
The “Hot in Here” rapper expressed, “WTF Mayor Adams call my phone,” the rapper blasted. “I don’t understand how this works, somebody explain this. I’m stuck, maybe Trump is the answer.”
Before this, 50 Cent also hit California for giving out free healthcare to migrants.
“I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers,” says an exasperated Jackson.
“They don’t even give veterans health insurance. @arimelber call my phone now, help me understand this s**t.”
Early last month, California announced they would offer free health care to undocumented immigrants, allowing at least 700,000 asylum seekers to be insured.
Last year, Jackson berated President Joe Biden for vacationing in his beach house amid the Israel-Hamas War.
“Hey Joe, get the f— up, we in trouble man!” quips 50 Cent.
He added, “We got some real s*** going on out here Joe. What’s the plat to get a tan and chill come on now.”
Aside from the affidavit for illegal immigrants, there is no mechanism to monitor if the card is used according to its intended purpose.
50 Cent wasn’t the only famous rapper to change his tune on Trump.
In January, Snoop Dogg also expressed that he has “nothing but love and respect” for the leading Republican nominee. He also thanked Trump for pardoning his partner Michael Harris, Death Row Records co-founder.
For Snoop Dogg, Trump “ain’t done nothing wrong” to him and “had done only great things” for him.
