The American election is just three months away from now and former President Donald Trump is prepared to face his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Recently, Trump appeared on American online streamer, Adin Ross’ “Kick Stream”, creating a buzz on various social media platforms.
Entering “Kick Stream” on Monday the 5th of August 2024, rapper 50 Cent’s “Many Men” was played as the former President’s official soundtrack. Since his assassination attempt, the Presidential candidate has been a die-hard fan of Cent’s music.
After the failed assassination attempt during Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania in July, “Many Men” digital streams saw an unprecedented surge.
Stepping into the “Kick Stream” venue with the menacing track co-produced by rapper Eminem, the former President greeted the crowd- most of whom were rocking red Make America Great Again caps and holding pro-Donald Trump signs.
Of course, 50 references himself being shot on “Many Men” and the G-Unit boss himself leaned into all the viral memes, which resulted in a boost to the 2003 album on the charts.
After the assassination attempt, in the streaming week, from July 12- to July 18, the song accumulated 6.4 million US streams in the tracking week, which is 224% higher than the 2 million total streams in the prior frame.
During the stream which has sparked heated arguments and speculations, Ross made Trump comment on sensitive topics including the trial of Young Thug and controversial rapper Ye formerly Kanye West.
Commenting on Ye, he said, “He’s a very complicated,”. Let’s say complicated because he is. He’s a really nice guy, but he can get some people into trouble. And he can get some other people. He’s got a good heart — he does, he does, but he’s complicated.”
“I hear Young Thug — I heard the name, I heard it from other people where they say he’s being treated unfairly. He’s gotta be treated fairly,” he demanded on Ross’ stream while commenting on Young Thug’s much-delayed YSL RICO trial.
