Don't ask 50 Cent about politics: rapper switches from Clinton to Obama to apathy
Staff Reporter | Posted March 31, 2008 11:43 AMIt was just a few weeks ago that Fifty, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, told Fox News he was supporting Clinton. "I just think she'd do a good job," he said. "There's nothing bad about Obama in my eyes either, but I just think Hillary would be my choice."
Then the Jeremiah Wright controversy took place and the popular MC was impressed by Obama's subsequent speech on race, according to a report from MTV.
But the 32-year-old recording artist doesn't stay in one camp very long. Shortly after switching to Obama, he went into the apathy column. "To be honest, I haven't been following that anymore. I lost my interest," he said. Fifty says he "just got lost in everything that was going on."
He also warned the public not to expect much from him about the campaign. "Don't look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, '50 Cent, he don't know, so don't ask Fiddy,'" he said.
