Posted by 50 Cent infuriated a percentage of his fanbase last week when he encouraged his 26.2 million Instagram followers to “vote for Trump.” But thanks in part to his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler, it appears the Power mogul is walking back his Trump support.
The illustrious comedian recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and was asked about 50’s perceived alignment with Trump. In all her comedic glory, Handler insinuated she was down to go another round in bed with 50 if he publicly took back his comments.
“I had to remind him that he’s a Black person so he can’t vote for Donald Trump and he shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook,” she said. “I haven’t heard from him yet, but I’m ready to seal the deal in more ways than one if he changes his mind and publicly denounces Donald Trump. I might be willing to go for another spin if you know what I’m talkin’ about.”
50, who’s apparently always paying attention to pop culture, shared the clip to his Instagram account and proudly denounced Trump, writing, “a what, another spin. Fuck Donald Trump, i never liked him. for all i know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed but that’s history.LOL @chelseahandler @jimmyfallon.”

The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ legend fired off his initial Trump comment after learning about Joe Biden’s proposed tax plan, which would apply a 62 percent top tax rate to New York and New Jersey residents who make over $400,000 a year.

Handler almost immediately trolled 50 saying he used to be her “favorite ex-boyfriend” then offered to pay his taxes if that meant he’d denounce Trump.
“Hey fucker!” she tweeted. “I will pay your taxes in exchange for you coming to your senses. Happily! Black lives matter. That’s you, fucker! Remember?”
