50 Cent Album Cover Turned Into Trump After Shooting — Plus Other Social Media Reactions
"Dear shooter: you just won him the election."

In the wake of the shooting at Donald Trump's rally that saw the former 45th President of the United States covered by Secret Service agents, there have been tons of social media reactions.
There are some folks who've claimed that the rally shooting was staged by Trump's campaign in a bid to try and endear himself to the public even further and make him seem like a bada-- to the American people.
Others believe that it was a clear assassination attempt on the former president's life, and there has been a slew of other theories for who was behind the shooting, ranging from the CIA to Antifa to the FBI. Some are convinced the shooter was a disgruntled Joe Biden supporter who, presumably after being so upset at Biden's performance during the debate and the ridicule that ensued as a result, took that ire out on Trump.
But there are a number of folks who are commending Trump's reaction to the purported assassination attempt, like 50 Cent, who posted a photoshopped a cover of one of his albums, "Get Rich or Die Tryin" with a picture of the billionaire's face superimposed over his own.
50 uploaded the picture to Instagram, followed by the caption: "Trump gets shot and now I'm trending."
This more than likely a result of the mythos associated with the rapper's drive-by shooting attempt when he sustained nine bullet wounds and survived.
Numerous people replied to 50's post stating that the news will have them doubling down on voting for Trump come November. One person wrote, "Solidified my vote for Trump man."
Other folks have taken to making this connection between Trump and 50 Cent as well, like Dave Portnoy.
The Barstool Sports owner posted the song "Many Men," which is about the throngs of people who wished death upon 50 Cent.
Fiddy made the correlation on social media as well to the track.

It didn't take long for the remixes to drop either.

Seeing reports that President Trump will be at tonight’s UFC fight with Dana White.
Warrior spirit.
— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) July 14, 2024 Source: X | @charliekirk11Donald Trump is a personal friend of Dana White and helped the UFC gain footing in the early days of the MMA promotion's days as many events were held in Atlantic City. Trump is often seen at these events and has been welcomed by the fight community.
But there are just tons of "Many Men" memes flooding social media platforms.
Now that President Trump got shot, he now HAS to walk out to his next rally with Many Men by 50 Cent entrance music. The Teflon Don pic.twitter.com/HTrBUDR44G

Reporter to 50 cent: “What do you see among African American men in this election?”
“I see them identifying with Trump”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because they got RICO charges” 😭 pic.twitter.com/Sc1EnaILkg

Days ago, @JoeBiden said, “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Someone just tried to assassinate President Trump by shooting him in the head at his rally in Pennsylvania.
Luckily the bullet missed his neck and head and only grazed his ear.
Fuck Joe Biden. I fucking hate… https://t.co/yQXt4YDLAE pic.twitter.com/iv6xFIilCd
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) July 13, 2024 Source: X | @LaureLoomerAs one X user penned, Biden used the word "bullseye," which some are arguing was taken quite literally by the shooter, who was reportedly promptly shot and killed by security at the event.
Numerous people mentioned the "bullseye" verbiage.
Five days ago, Joe Biden told his donors, "It's time to put Trump in the bullseye." pic.twitter.com/8C5hM7hPuK

“I have one job, and that's to beat Donald Trump. I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to be able to do that. So, we're done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye,”
