\n\t50 Cent<\/a> isn\u2019t the biggest fan of New York City\u2019s new mayor Zohran Mamdani.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Mamdani\u2019s historic win as the city\u2019s first Muslim and South Asian mayor, the Queens rapper and filmmaker took to Instagram to voice his displeasure in a series of posts, some of which have since been deleted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one deleted post, he posted a picture of a red Yankee fitted cap and a bottle of his Branson cognac with the caption: \u201cNew York is over pack it up, let\u2019s go! THE MAN\u2019S First job is Mayor MAMDANI run New York. \u2026 I need a drink!\u201d He then posted<\/a> what looks like an AI-generated image of a tombstone that reads, \u201cRIP NYC, Founded 1624, Died 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t50 also posted a clip from Mamdani\u2019s victory speech, in which the newly elected mayor took aim at President Trump. \u201c3 words,\u201d he wrote in the caption of the deleted post. \u201cNo funding coming! NYC finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd finally, in yet another deleted post, 50 posted a screenshot of a tweet<\/a> from journalist and host Ari Melber that said Mamdani played Ja Rule<\/a>\u2018s \u201cNew York\u201d as he was walking to the podium to give his speech. \u201cOf course he would walk out to that fool,\u201d 50 wrote. \u201cHis plan doesn\u2019t effect him. He ain\u2019t getting no money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking of Ari Melber, New York City\u2019s new mayor-elect appeared on his CNN show The Beat With Ari Melber and was asked about the back-and-forth the two Queens natives have had over his tax policy. \u201cWhat I would say to you, 50, if you are indeed watching or anyone else who\u2019s watching this show,\u201d he said. \u201cI continue to think that having the top 1 percent of New York City who are making more than a million dollars a year, having them pay 2 percent more for an economic agenda that would transform every New Yorker\u2019s life, including their own, is something that is worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMamdani added that he plays one of 50\u2019s best songs whenever he gets a death threat. \u201cEven though we have a disagreement on tax policy,\u201d he began, \u201cEvery time I get a death threat, I still listen to \u2018Many Men.\u2019 It\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t50 posted<\/a> the clip (still up), and while he said he feels like Mamdani\u2019s heart is in the right place, he still thinks taxing the rich will make corporations flee the city and that defunding the NYPD is going to lead to a purge, before hinting at the G-Unit Studios<\/a> he leased in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2024. \u201cI think his intentions are good,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut his Tax plan is gonna run the big money out of the city and if he defunds the police they are gonna purge. @50centaction<\/a> All Roads lead to SHREVEPORT !\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tZohran Mamdani was born in Uganda but moved to New York City when he was 7 years old and grew up in Queens. Before running for mayor, he was an assemblyman for New York\u2019s 36th State Assembly district, which represented the Queens neighborhood of Astoria and Long Island City.<\/p>\n
