50 Cent says he turned down $500K to attend Trump inauguration: 'Don't bring me to fix the African-American vote'

50 Cent was on The Late Late Show Tuesday and while sitting next to Massachusetts Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren, he revealed how he could have made more money thanks to President Donald Trump.

The rapper, actor, executive producer and all-around media mogul told host James Corden that Trump offered him “half a million dollars” just to attend his inauguration in January 2017.

“I didn’t do it because I didn’t know if I could fix the damage,” 50 Cent said.

50 Cent told a similar story to Hot 97 back in 2017, only then the $500,000 offer was for an event leading up to the election in 2016, right around the time 50 Cent was going through bankruptcy issues. But in both instances, his reasons for not accepting the major payday haven’t changed.

“To be honest with you, all money is not good money. You have to be careful with what you’re doing publicly,” 50 Cent said. “I was just like, ‘Whoa.’ Don’t bring me to fix the African-American vote. Bring somebody else. I’ll see you later.”

And since 50 Cent was sitting next to someone that hopes to have an inauguration of her own in 2021, he offered up some advice for how Senator Warren can better reach young voters.

“Just relax, you gotta loosen up,” 50 Cent said. “Hip-hop is connected to youth culture, so hang out with me when you’re the president.”

Check out what people on Twitter had to say about this Valentine’s Day wedding on Fox & Friends:

\n\nUnfortunately a few sweet moments seemed to get overshadowed by things like Pazmino stepping on her dress while she walked, a host calling a child the wrong name, the rings getting stuck in the ring bearer’s pants, a ring later being dropped into the flower basket by accident, occasional out-of-place commentary from Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade and awkward silences. And it made for a lot of criticism on Twitter.\n

@foxandfriends That was the worst wedding I have ever seen. ?The dress was toooo long and too big , her veil fell off, the music was not reverent and the minister ... Really? I guess you get what you pay for. I’d be in the back wailing .

Only Fox & Friends can make a cheap wedding seem even cheaper.

@foxandfriends what a tacky wedding this was. You'll could have at least rented a church!

@foxandfriends ?that wedding was painful to watch. Why in the world couldn’t someone help those poor people look a little more put together on their wedding day ???

\nBut there were others who saw the love in it all and enjoyed the ceremony, especially the fact that Pazmino’s children were involved.\n

@foxandfriends @ainsleyearhardt looks like a Valentine today and certainly dressed for a Special Wedding. Kudos for sharing the wedding of two Patriots!

\nSo whether or not people enjoyed the event, not many couples out there will be able to tell the tale of their Valentine's Day wedding on Fox News.\n\n“On behalf of Fox & Friends, and me and the entire viewing audience,” Shelley concluded. “I pronounce you well on your way to a long happy marriage.”\n\nWatch Jennifer Lopez tell Ellen about the reality TV star that she fangirls over:\n\n\n
