50 Cent Explains Why He Tries to Stay Away From Politics & Religion, Citing Ye & Nicki Minaj: ‘No Matter What You Think, Someone Passionately Disagrees With You’

50 Cent certainly isn’t afraid to chime in on messy situations on social media, but there are certain things the G-Unit mogul claims he should bite his tongue for.

While speaking at the West Hollywood film premiere of Moses the Black, which 50 is a producer on, the Queens legend detailed the importance of the movie harping on entertainment rather than focusing on the religious aspect.

“There’s two things they tell you to stay away from. They tell you to stay away from religion and stay away from politics, because no matter what you think, someone passionately disagrees with you,” he said.

50 cited some of his superstar peers like Nicki Minaj and Ye (formerly Kanye West) as examples of artists who have been outspoken in the past when it comes to religion and politics.

“I stay away from those things,” he continued. “That’s how Kanye f—ed up. Then, Nicki said some sh–. You know, it feels crazy, but it is very accurate.”

Both Minaj and Yeezy have been involved in recent political and religious issues. Nicki has spoken out against the alleged religious persecution of Christians in Nigeria and praised the Donald Trump-JD Vance administration.

Kanye put on the red hat and repeatedly praised Trump dating back to his first term in office. West even had a failed bid running for president himself in the 2020 election.

The Chicago native said he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people in 2022 and made a plethora of antisemitic remarks that led to companies like Adidas, Balenciaga and Universal Music Group cutting ties with Ye.

As for 50’s Moses the Black, the film is set to hit theaters on Jan. 30 and also stars rappers Wiz Khalifa and Quavo.
