Mamdani is son of award-winning Indian-American filmmaker Mira did he come from? Whose friend is this? I'm not feeling this plan. No,' 50 Cent wrote in the post. 'I will give him $258,750 and a first class one-way ticket away from NY.' Mamdani, a 33-year-old politician who recently pulled off a surprise win against former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary, discussed his plan during the June 11 interview. Among his proposals: a 2% flat tax increase on New Yorkers earning $1 million or more annually.'I know if 50 Cent is listening, he's not going to be happy about this,' Mamdani quipped during the segment. 'He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear - this is about $20,000 a year.'The remark clearly struck a nerve with the rapper, who is reportedly worth close to a billion dollars. In a follow-up jab, he wrote: 'I'm telling [President] Trump what he said too!' accompanied by a thinking-face broader platform includes increasing funding for public transportation, supporting small businesses, and what he described as efforts to 'Trump-proof' the isn't the first time 50 Cent has weighed in on politics.
