Can Donald Trump Serve As President From Prison? Here's What You May Not Know
During Tuesday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” the rap legend revealed that he was indeed “offered $3 million” to perform at Sunday’s much-criticized Donald Trump campaign rally at Madison Square Garden. “I got a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday,” Jackson told co-host DJ Envy, beginning at the 42 minute mark.

When Charlamagne Tha God jumped in to ask if they also approached him about doing “Many Men” at the Republican National Convention, the “In Da Club” artist confirmed that did happen, but explained that he wasn’t interested, because he’s “afraid of politics.” Fif revealed that he didn’t have substantive discussions with Trump’s campaign.
“I didn’t even go far…I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics,” he said. “You understand? I do not like no part about them.”

He cited the strong opinions that surround politics, adding that he has the same feelings about religion. He noted the recent troubles fellow rapper Kanye West has found himself in.
“It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” Jackson explained. “He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.”
It’s probably for the best that Fif followed his own advice, as Sunday’s event has been widely criticized for the hateful comments some of the speakers directed at Puerto Ricans, Blacks, women and Vice President Kamala Harris. We assume Jackson doesn’t want his name connected to any of the people or ideas on that stage.
