50 Cent has claimed that New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani plans to defund the police and “purge” the Big Apple when he takes office in January 2026.
The rapper has been a longtime critic of Mamdani’s proposal to hike the city’s corporate tax rate and impose a two percent tax on New Yorkers whose annual salary exceeds $1 million. If he proceeds with the plans, the newly elected mayor plans to allocate the funds raised to public services.
