50 Cent is going viral after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
Almost immediately after Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, social media users began using the rapper's 2003 hit "Many Men (Wish Death)" in their reaction videos.
"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 / And n****s tryin' to take my life away," 50 Cent sings on the intro of the track. (For reference, the "In Da Club" artist has long claimed he was shot nine times in his youth.)
Both sides of the aisle have utilized the track in their responses to the assassination attempt, with some using the song as a way to showcase Trump's strength, while others used it to mock him.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, for instance, shared a clip of what he called "The Hardest Edit of All Time": Trump, his face streaked with blood, throwing his fist in the air as a rallying cry in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. "Many Men" played over the video.
50 Cent, for his part, reposted a video of a man impersonating Trump post-shooting, complete with a bandage wrapped around his head and a bloody ear.
"How Trump feel right now," read the caption of the clip, in which the man attempted to hype himself up by listening to "Many Men."
"Replay that s***!" the man, as Trump, yelled in the parody.
"LOL 😆," 50 Cent captioned the fan video, which he uploaded to Instagram on Monday, July 15. " IT DO BE GETTING CRAZY OUT HERE!"
That's not all 50 had to say about the "Many Men" responses. Several hours after the assassination attempt, the "Stunt 101" rapper took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice his initial reaction to the memes.
"Trump gets shot and now I'm trending 🤷🏽♂️," 50 wrote alongside the iconic photo of his Get Rich or Die Tryin' album cover — only with the former president's face superimposed over his own.
He also used the Photoshopped album cover at one of his shows in Boston over the weekend, according to TMZ.
The G-Unit artist is also far from the only musician to react to the shooting.
On Saturday, Kid Rock — a staunch Trump supporter — issued an intense warning via Instagram.
"You f*** with Trump, you f*** with me!" he yelled in the selfie video, pointing his finger at the camera to punctuate his point.
