NYC Mayor Mamdani Seeks Truce With 50 Cent Over $20,000 Tax Dispute

Summary
Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday he wants to end his “one-sided beef” with 50 Cent and would invite the rapper to a dinner to talk tax policy.
The dispute centers on Mamdani’s push to raise taxes on the wealthiest; he said last year the change would cost 50 Cent about $20,000 annually, calling it a “rounding error.”
50 Cent had blasted that plan in 2025, saying he would pay Mamdani $258,750 for a one-way first-class ticket out of New York and tell Trump about the remarks.
Mamdani said the policy disagreement remains, but he still considers himself a fan of 50 Cent, even quoting the rapper in a recent commencement speech.
