New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Wednesday that he would welcome the chance to put an end to his one-sided clash with rapper 50 Cent.
During an appearance on the “Complex” podcast, host Jillian Superstar asked Mamdani to name his ideal dinner party guest, “dead or alive,” adding that she expected to be invited after the interview.
Mamdani said his first pick would be Fiorello La Guardia, whom he described as the greatest mayor in New York City history.
He then added that he would also invite 50 Cent “so we could have a conversation around tax policy.”
“A very much needed conversation,” the interviewer replied.
Mamdani previously addressed the rapper during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” last year, saying that although he was a fan of 50 Cent, the artist was unlikely to support his approach to taxes.
“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,” Mamdani said.

Speaking on the June 2025 podcast, Mamdani argued that the broader goal of the policy was to improve life for all New Yorkers, including those who would be paying more in taxes.
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.
