Zohran Mamdani admits he wants to end his ‘one-sided beef’ about taxes with rapper 50 Cent

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted Wednesday he would love to end his one-sided feud with rapper 50 Cent.

While appearing on the "Complex" podcast, Mamdani was put on the spot by host Jillian Superstar when she asked the socialist mayor, "If you were to have a dinner party — that I know I'd be invited to after this interview — who would be your dream dinner party guest, dead or alive?"

His first choice, he answered, would be Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who he touted as the greatest mayor of New York City in history.

"I would throw in 50 Cent so we could have a conversation around tax policy," he added.

"A very much needed conversation," the interviewer agreed.

During an interview on "The Breakfast Club" last year, the mayor noted that while he was a fan of 50 Cent, the musician wasn't a fan of his tax policy.

"I know if 50 Cent is listening, he's not going to be happy about this. He tends to not like this tax policy, but I want to be very clear: This is about $20,000 a year. It's a rounding error. And all of these things together, they make every New Yorker's life better, including those who are actually getting taxed now," Mamdani said during the June 2025 podcast.

The rapper responded shortly after by asking, "Where did he come from? Whose friend is this? I’m not feeling this plan. No. I will give him $258,750 and a first-class one-way ticket away from NY. I’m telling Trump what he said too!"

Mamdani noted during Wednesday's interview that he was still a fan of 50 Cent, even if 50 Cent wasn't a fan of his policies. Superstar showed this to be true, playing a clip of the mayor quoting the rapper’s song, "Get Rich or Die Tryin,'" during a recent commencement speech.

"So, it's a one-sided beef?" the interviewer asked.

"It's a one-sided beef," Mamdani agreed.

"I think we're always going to have a disagreement on that tax policy," he added. "I want to increase taxes on the wealthiest. He does not want that to happen. But I will still appreciate the song 'Many Men,' whatever our disagreements are."

Representatives for 50 Cent did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
