The legendary Queens spitter put Donald Trump’s face over his on the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album cover and displayed the image for a crowd in Boston that same night as he performed the aforementioned record. He also shared the meme on social media Per Billboard, since the tragic incident, which left two people dead including the shooter, and two others besides Trump injured, “Many Men” earned over 2.2 million U.S. on-demand audio streams from July 13-15 — up 250% from the previous Saturday-to-Monday period. “Many men wish death upon me/ Blood in my eye, dog, and I can’t see/ I’m tryin’ to be what I’m destined to be/ And ni**as tryin’ to take my life away,” rhymes the New York rapper in the fan-favorite track, inspired by a real-life attempt to take 50 Cent’s life. Since the attempt, Donald Trump has been using a large, white bandage to cover his ear. A report from CNN details US Rep. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former White House physician, explained he “checked out” the wound to Trump’s ear and provided the bandages, adding, “there was no concussive effect from the bullet.” “It just took the top of his ear off, a little bit of the top of his ear off, as it passed through,” Jackson explained. “It was bleeding like crazy.
