MAYOR VS. 50 Cent| NYC’s New Mayor Says He’ll Arrest Netanyahu If He Lands In New York.. 50 Cent Responds After He Walked Out To Ja Rule’s “New York”!
🎤 MAYOR VS. 50 CENT: NYC’s New Mayor Shakes Up Politics and Hip-Hop with Ja Rule Walkout!
The recent New York City mayoral election has delivered massive political and cultural headlines, combining a controversial political pledge with one of hip-hop’s most infamous feuds.
The new Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, has not only sparked international debate with his political platform but has also drawn fire from rap icon 50 Cent after a very public and deliberate song choice for his victory walkout.
The Political Firestorm: Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Netanyahu Pledge
The central political controversy revolves around Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s stance on international law and the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.
The Vow: Mamdani, a self-declared democratic socialist and a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights, previously pledged that as mayor, he would try to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he were to visit New York City.
The Basis: This pledge is reportedly based on an effort to honor the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants for Netanyahu over alleged war crimes.
Legal Uncertainty: Legal experts have noted that, since the United States is not a party to the ICC, such an arrest would be a “practical impossibility” and would likely put the mayor in direct conflict with the federal government.
Mamdani’s Stance: The Mayor-elect has maintained that the city should “stand up for international law” and that he would “exhaust every legal option” to honor the warrants.
Mamdani’s victory and this controversial stance have already generated significant debate both domestically and internationally.
The Cultural Clash: 50 Cent Responds to the Ja Rule Walkout
The political drama took a sharp turn into hip-hop beef when Mamdani celebrated his victory with a truly savvy—and savage—song choice.
The Walkout Song: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani took the stage for his acceptance speech to the tune of Ja Rule’s 2004 track, “New York” (featuring Fat Joe and Jadakiss).
The Beef: This choice was a direct shot at 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson), whose legendary feud with Ja Rule has spanned over two decades. 50 Cent has been a vocal critic of Mamdani’s progressive economic policies, particularly his plan to tax the wealthy.
50 Cent’s Reaction: Predictably, 50 Cent did not take the snub lightly. He immediately took to social media, posting a picture of a tombstone reading “RIP N.Y.C.” and following up with a direct response to the walkout. He wrote, in a quickly-deleted post, “Of course he would walk out to that fool,” continuing his criticism of Mamdani’s platform.
The move by the new Mayor-elect to use the notorious feud has positioned him not just as a political figure but as a master of pop culture warfare, expertly trolling one of his most high-profile critics.
