Does 50 Cent want to take Hillary Clinton to the candy shop?
Well, no, but he does want to take her straight to the White House. The rapper, who flip-flopped on his support for Clinton in 2008 to instead back Barack Obama, endorsed Hillary in a recent interview with The Daily Beast.
“It’s Hillary time!” 50 Cent exclaimed, admitting that he likes “some of the things that Hillary says.”
Clinton has been around so long, in fact, that 50 almost feels like she’s already been in the White House. Perhaps he’s just thinking about that time she was first lady.
“I also think Hillary was the president already once,” the rapper said. “You know what I’m sayin’? Some of the things she says feel really comfortable, and roll off. When people are really close with each other, they use each other as soundboards because they’re the other person’s best friend.”
50 Cent also cited Hillary’s response to the Monica Lewinsky scandal during her husband’s administration as reason enough for him to cast his vote for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.
“Even Bill’s imperfections run very consistent within men — the lust factor out of convenience,” explained 50. “Things happen at points, and her seeing past that made her human to me. It made that love between her and Bill real to me.”
“When you make other people feel different because of what they’ve conditioned themselves to feel about the subject,” he continued, “it made me look at her and think she’s made life choices that she’s willing to stand by — and in a place where people would do what they felt like other people would expect them to do, instead of going on their feelings. It’s so public that it can allow the perception of it to sway which way you can go.”
In his endorsement, 50 Cent joins a number of rappers voicing proclaiming their support for Hillary Clinton, including Snoop Dogg, Waka Flocka Flame, and Ja Rule.
