By Monday, the jokes that Trump should walk out to the song when he appeared at the Republican National Convention had turned into a rumor that 50 himself would be making an appearance at the GOP event, a prospect which excited conservatives online while drawing criticism from a number of 50’s Black fans.

50 Cent is currently scheduled to perform at the GOP convention this week, CNN reports, according to news anchor Victor Blackwell.

50’s people responded yesterday to TMZ, telling them that the rapper would not be appearing at the RNC, though it was unclear whether or not he had ever been attached to the event.
