Mayor Adams calls on 50 Cent to ‘hit me up’ after rapper disses migrant credit cards: ‘Maybe he’ll write a song about me’
NY Post
“Nightclub Mayor’’ Eric Adams is taking on 50 Cent over the rapper ripping the city’s $53 million migrant credit-card handout — telling Fitty on Monday to “hit me up’’ so he could personally explain his rationale.
The party-loving mayor said he wants to set the record straight after the Queens-born hip-hopper blasted his administration Saturday on Instagram over the city’s new pilot program, which is coughing up cash to some migrant families for food.
“First to Fitty, I have not had one birthday that I have not played his music,” Adams told reporters at a City Hall press conference after The Post asked him whether he’d reached out to the 48-year-old rap star since the post.
“So I told 50 Cent to hit me up,” said Hizzoner, whose aides later clarified that the mayor hasn’t contaced to the rapper.
“I would love to explain it to him so that he can go out and do another tweet of saying, ‘you know what, Eric is just a smart manager, and now we understand why he was elected by the people of the city of New York,’ ” Adams said.
“Maybe he’ll write a song about me,” the mayor quipped.
