Per Billboard, 50 Cent has previously spoken about the incumbent president's outspoken nature, in an interview in July, stating: "You know what I learned from my president? That I don't have to be apologetic. And whatever the f*** you said is fake news."
According to Billboard, the rapper also told talk show host James Corden in 2019 that he turned down Trump's $500,000 offer to appear at his presidential inauguration in 2016.
Meanwhile, actor Jon Voight has pledged his support for Trump in a 17-minute-long video posted to his 368,000 Twitter followers.

Former Cheers cast member Kirstie Alley has also caught flak on social media for her support of Trump. Writing to her 1.5 million followers on Twitter, the 69-year-old actress, tweeted:
"I’m voting for @realDonaldTrump because he’s NOT a politician. I voted for him 4 years ago for this reason and shall vote for him again for this reason."
"He gets things done quickly and he will turn the economy around quickly. There you have it folks there you have it. [sic]"

50 Cent appears to have made a political U-turn on Donald Trump, a week after decrying Joe Biden's tax policies.
It all began on Monday, October 19, after the 45-year-old rapper took to his official Instagram account and shared a screenshot of a TV screen which appeared to show the Democratic presidential candidate's reported tax rate plans for New York City, New York State, California, and New Jersey.

The rapper later appeared to double down on his apparent support for the Republican leader. Taking to his official Twitter account, 50 Cent then shared a recording of a Fox News broadcast story about his Instagram post.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/KatrinaPierson/status/1318304857426636800]]
The segment included a tweet from Trump adviser Katrina Pierson, who tweeted to her 681,000 followers: "I guess 50 cent don’t want to end up 20 cent [sic]" in reference to Biden's taxation plans.
50 Cent captioned his own video: "Yeah, i don’t want to be 20cent. 62% is a very, very, bad idea.i don’t like it ! #abcforlife #starzgettheapp. [sic]"
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/50cent/status/1318558550210301958]]
However, on Sunday, October 25, 50 Cent shared a video virtual interview that talk show host Jimmy Fallon conducted with his ex, comedian Chelsea Handler.
In the interview, Handler criticized 50 Cent's statements, telling Fallon:
"[50 Cent] shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook.
"So I haven’t heard back from him yet, but I am willing to, you know, 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 talking about."

On Twitter, 50 Cent replied to this by writing in the caption for the video:
"F*** 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."

In recent weeks, 50 Cent has been using his platform to share his political standpoints - and it's been anything but straightforward.
The 'Ayo Technology' hitmaker went from seemingly endorsing President Donald Trump, to apparently withdrawing his support, and subsequently slamming Lil Wayne for taking a photo with the incumbent president.
And now, 50 Cent is reportedly claiming that before his infamous Instagram endorsement of Trump, he was offered $1 million to attend his inauguration.
"They offered me $1 million to go to Trump’s inauguration," said 50 Cent in an interview with The Breakfast Club, per Bossip. "I passed on that. [They initially offered] $500,000 and it went up to $1 million while I was still confused with whether I should do it.'"
Check the interview out below:

"He was needing it for the same reasons you see now, he participated with different artists for the Black vote," he added. "And I’m going, nah, I ain’t gone put myself in that position. ‘Cause I don’t know what I’d have to do to recover from that."
50 Cent then revealed, per iheart that he declined the offer before seeing Biden's supposed tax rate plans, which led to the Instagram post, in which he endorsed Trump.
"Later, I'm watching the news called CNBC [and see] Biden's tax plan is 62 percent," he recalled. "I go, 'Oh, yo. I missed that part. They never talked about that in the debates.'"
Last month on October 19, the 45-year-old rapper shared an image featuring Biden's reported tax rate plans for New York City, New York State, California, and New Jersey.

50 Cent's ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler responded to the rapper's apparent endorsement of Biden by offering to pay his taxes, if he "[comes] to his senses" over his support for Trump.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/50cent/status/1318921054434328581]]
"[Oh] my God this is effecting my love life now [sic]. @chelseahandler I love ya Gator, don’t let Trump and Joe Biden come between us girl. #starzgettheapp," 50 Cent responded on the social media platform.
Handler later confirmed during a virtual appearance on The View that the rapper is "absolutely" supporting Joe Biden.
Check out what Handler had to say below:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/evdCZKaQ-Q0L14jDU.mp4||evdCZKaQ]]
She said: "So he called me and he wasn’t serious, he was just screwing around on his Twitter. He is supporting Joe Biden.
"I did promise to pay his taxes, and then I found out it’s illegal to pay somebody to vote for your candidate. So I offered him another form of payment and we’ll see if he takes me up on it, but I don’t have to pay him, he's already a Biden supporter."
