50 Cent has suggested that he is developing a docuseries about NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who recently faced criminal charges following Diddy’s arrest. According to HipHopDX, 50 shared a video on Instagram of Mayor Eric Adams presenting Diddy with the key to New York City last year, a gesture that was later rescinded after the mogul received a swarm of sexual assault allegations. 50 then raised questions about whether there was more to the story. The rapper wrote, “This shit is getting crazy out here! Do you want a docu series on Eric Adams? [shrug emoji] I want to know what the fvck is going on here.” 50’s post follows reports that Adams is facing five criminal charges for allegedly accepting over $10 million in illegal contributions from Turkish business leaders and officials.
The allegations against Adams involve wire fraud, conspiracy, foreign national contribution, and bribery, potentially leading to substantial prison time if he is found guilty. He is the first New York City mayor currently in office to face such criminal charges. Adams said in a press conference addressing the charges, “I ask New Yorkers to hear our defense before making any judgments.” He also declined to step down from his position as mayor, stating, “My day to day will not change. I will continue to do the job for 8.3 million New Yorkers that I was elected to do.”

50 has previously criticized Adams, especially regarding a plan to provide migrants with pre-paid debit cards. In an instagram post, the hip-hop star wrote, “WTF mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works — somebody explain.” He then voiced support for controversial presidential candidate Donald Trump: “Can’t explain this I’m stuck maybe TRUMP is the answer.” 50 later disclosed that Adams contacted him to gain his support.
