Following the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump, 50 Cent's album cover featured his image on the classic album cover Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Standing behind purportedly bullet-shattered glass, the 49-year-old hip hop musician's face was photoshopped onto the artist's shirtless, chiseled chest. The song Many Men appeared to pay tribute to the massacre at the former president's Saturday campaign event. It's also based on the 2000 incident in Queens, New York, in which 50 Cent was shot nine times.

On Saturday night, the rapper teased the viral cover, writing on X, "Trump gets shot and now I'm trending." According to Page Six, the rapper performed the song Many Men from his 2003 first album on Saturday night during a concert in Boston, while displaying the modified photo.

According to Genius, the lyrics go, "Many men wish death upon me / Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can't see / I'm tryin' to be what I'm destined to be."

Meanwhile, 50 Cent's X post had almost 16 million views. In the comments area, the user said, "Authorise him to use many men for his campaign."

In 2003, his breakthrough album Get Rich or Die Tryin' arrived at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart and garnered a Grammy nomination for best rap album.

Meanwhile, the shooting of Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13, at an election event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, marked the first substantial attempt in 43 years to assassinate a past or current US President or presidential candidate.

Secret Service agents rushed him offstage to his limousine, blood splattered across his face and visible around his right ear. After being taken to a local hospital, the Secret Service declared Trump "safe."
According to The Telegraph, the gunshot, which killed one spectator and critically injured two others, was subsequently identified as a "assassination attempt" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and would have qualified as a domestic terrorism incident. The FBI identified the accused as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania.
