Rapper 50 Cent declared that 'New York is over' after Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor and urged locals to flee to the Louisiana city he poured millions into reviving. 

The pro-Trump artist, 50, has been flooding his social media with posts denouncing the Democratic-socialist mayoral elect while prompting like-minded New Yorkers to leave the Big Apple for Shreveport

The music mogul, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, recently snagged 20 properties in the northwest Louisiana city as part of an estimated $50 million investment into the once-booming oil town near the Texas border, about 190 miles east of Dallas.

As hard as it is for me to say, 50 Cent is the best thing to happen to Shreveport in a long time.

Because he sees it as opportunity for growth and expansion that will make him more money.

Not gonna lie, I was optimistic but struggling to see the tangible benefit. Downtown is more dead buisness wise and more dangerous than ever.

When even Chase and fattys give up and pull out you know its bad.

Once they get there and realize how shitty it is, they will go back to the muzzy controlled NYC.

I think it will be mixed. A lot of these limousine democrats don’t want to actually pay higher taxes.

Can't imagine anyone moving from NYC to Shreveport.

Wishful thinking on his part

Probably safer than NYC, after the Communist/Muslim fires all the Police.

There was a promotional video going around a few days ago showing how nice the river walk area is.
