50 Cent seems impressed Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt -- something he's personally familiar with ... which he highlighted with a Photoshop job and a song.
The rapper was performing this in Boston -- right on the heels of the assassination attempt -- and he did one of his most famous tracks, 'Many Men,' for the audience ... which featured a custom album cover of his "Get Rich or Die Tryin" project.
Instead of the usual shirtless Fiddy on the front that we've all seen and known -- it was Trump's face that was superimposed over 50's body ... a deliberate move, no doubt.
He further touched on the Trump tweak to his album artwork on social media, posting the same Trump-infused image and writing,
Trump gets shot and now I'm trending.
Unclear if 50 himself created it ... but he definitely ran with it, and the internet was collectively laughing.
50 Cent's classic cut «Many Men (Wish Death)» has received an AI remix featuring Donald Trump's voice after the former president survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
On Saturday (July 13), Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet after a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a rifle at him from an elevated position at a campaign rally in the city of Butler.
Not entirely unsurprisingly, the internet has used the shooting as ammo for humor, with artificial intelligence used to replace 50's voice with Trump's on the Get Rich or Die Tryin' hit, which is about the rapper's near-death experiences including being shot nine times in 2000.
Fif recently said he believes Black men identify with Trump more than Joe Biden, despite accusations that the former president is racist. Although he admitted he had yet to decide whether to vote Democrat or Republican, the rapper and actor told CBS News during a trip to Congress:
I see [Black men] identifying with Trump because they have RICO charges.
50 also endorsed Trump in 2020 after criticizing Biden's tax plans:
WHAT THE FUCK! (VOTE For TRUMP) IM OUT. FUCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don't care Trump doesn't like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind.
After facing widespread criticism, 50 later switched his endorsement to Biden ahead of the 2020 election.
