Chelsea Handler on Calling Out Trump Supporter 50 Cent: 'I Had to Remind Him That He Was a Black Person'

The comedian made headlines earlier this week when she called out the 50 Cent for publicly supporting Donald Trump over potential tax breaks.

Chelsea Handler has upped her offer to 50 Cent.

The comedian made headlines earlier this week when she called out the G-Unit boss for publicly supporting Donald Trump. Fif shared a number of tweets stating that he refused to vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden due to his proposed tax increases.

"WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT," he tweeted. "... I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind ... Yeah, i don’t want to be 20cent. 62% is a very, very,bad idea."

Handler, an avowed Biden supporter, blasted her ex-boyfriend for the seemingly selfish endorsement and even went so far as to offer to pay his taxes—on the condition he vote for the Democratic candidate.

Handler touched on the exchange during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She suggested 50 was putting money over the Black community, and said she would consider sweetening her initial offer he Fif publicly denounced POTUS.

"So he doesn't want to pay 62 percent in taxes because he doesn't want to go from '50 Cent' to '20 Cent' and I had to remind him that he was a Black person, so he can't vote for Donald Trump," she told Fallon, adding that "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 added: "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."

As one might expect, 50 responded on Saturday night after Handler's appearance made the rounds.

"Fu*k Donald Trump, I never liked him," he tweeted. "For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed but that’s history."

And just in case you were wondering if Trump actually had one of 50's friends killed, um no. The line "For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed but that’s history," is actually a line from, you guessed it, Scarface.

Never change, 50.
