00:05to perform at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday night.
00:10The rapper and TV mogul opened up about the offer while appearing on The Breakfast Club

00:15Is it true Donald Trump tried to give you money to endorse him one time?
00:19I got a call, but they wanted me to, it was Sunday.
00:2250 Cent also confirmed that he had been asked to perform at the Republican National Convention
00:26this summer.
00:27They still offered me $3 million.
00:29To perform?
00:31At the RNC or this past Sunday?
00:33This past Sunday.
00:34At $3 million.
00:35And then they offered you money for the Republican National Convention too, right?
00:3950 Cent declined both invitations, saying that he doesn't like to get involved in politics.
00:44When you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees
00:48with you.
00:49That's everything though.
00:50I mean, politics is worse, but that's everything.
00:51It's worse now.
00:52Look, if you say, I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics.
