Rapper 50 Cent has offered Zohran Mamdani a “first class one-way ticket” out of New York City after the mayoral nominee threatened to hike up his taxes.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, won the city’s Democratic primary Tuesday after campaigning on affordability for average New Yorkers. Mamdani has promised to freeze the rent in stabilized units, create city-owned grocery stores and make buses free. Most of his promises would be made possible by increasing the taxes of New York’s wealthiest people.
