Everyone’s not happy about 50 Cent’s new MTV reality show, “The Money and the Power.” And one of 50’s toughest critics have been none other than Donald Trump.
In an interview with New York 1, Trump predicted that “Power”— which centers around 14 wannabe moguls scrambling through various tasks to win $100,000— will fail.
“It will fail because he's not Trump,” Trump said bluntly. “He just did a show. It was a copy of ‘The Apprentice.’”
Trump did admit that 50 was a buddy.
“I'm in many, many rappers songs,” he said, “And I know them. 50 Cent is sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he likes me… he's actually a nice guy. And P. Diddy did a show, which, by the way, I think bombed, but it was a copy. I wrote him a little note, ‘Good luck with the copy.’”
At Sunday night’s TRL farewell show, “Total Finale Live,” 50 told MTV, "I said, 'What's the matter with Donald?' He's got a little age on him. He must be getting senile."
