50 Cent‘s classic cut “Many Men (Wish Death)” has received an AI remix featuring Donald Trump’s voice after the former president survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
On Saturday (July 13), Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet after a 20-year-old man named Thomas Matthew Crooks fired a rifle at him from an elevated position at a campaign rally in the city of Butler.
Not entirely unsurprisingly, the internet has used the shooting as ammo for humor, with artificial intelligence used to replace 50’s voice with Trump’s on the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ hit, which is about the rapper’s near-death experiences including being shot nine times in 2000.
The remix hears a computer-generated Trump rapping lyrics such as: “Many men wish death upon me/ Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can’t see/ I’m tryin’ to be what I’m destined to be/ And n-ggas tryin’ to take my life away.”

50 Cent previously reacted to Trump getting shot by sharing a photo of the Republican candidate raising his fist in the air in defiance after the bullet hit his ear, with “Many Men (Wish Death)” playing over the picture.
50 wrote in his Instagram caption: “I know the vibes [palm on face emoji] we are all in trouble now!”
The G-Unit leader also shared a photo of Trump’s head superimposed onto the cover art for Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and wrote: “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending [shrugging emoji].”
He then performed the song in Boston on Saturday night, with the edited cover as his backing image.
Fif recently said he believes Black men identify with Trump more than Joe Biden, despite accusations that the former president is racist.
Although he admitted he had yet to decide whether to vote Democrat or Republican, the rapper and actor told CBS News during a trip to Congress: “I see [Black men] identifying with Trump… because they have RICO charges.”
50 also endorsed Trump in 2020 after criticizing Biden’s tax plans: “WHAT THE FUCK! (VOTE For TRUMP) IM OUT. FUCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind.”
After facing widespread criticism, 50 later switched his endorsement to Biden ahead of the 2020 election.
