Hours after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday, Rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson paid tribute to the former president at a concert in Boston.Jackson performed his song "Many Men (Wish Death)" in front of a huge reproduction of the cover of his 2003 debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." In the image, which features the rapper standing defiantly behind a pane of glass partially shattered by a bullet, Jackson's head had been replaced with Trump's. "Many Men," the third single from that album, describes Jackson's criminal past and an infamous incident in which he almost died after being shot nine times. Jackson also posted the image on X, with the comment, "Trump gets shot and now I'm trending." Fans quickly responded with memes of their own, often playing "Many Men" over images and videos of the current presidential candidate narrowly escaping death. — (@) 'I see them identifying with Trump. ... Because they got RICO charges.'As he has aged, 50 Cent has become less inclined to be bipartisan, often showing support for policies he approves of and vocally decrying policies he opposes.In October 2023, Jackson posted a picture to Instagram of President Biden relaxing on the beach with the caption, "Hey Joe get the f*** up, we in trouble man!"The rapper and entrepreneur is from Queens, New York — as is Trump — and has also commented on New York politics.In a since-deleted Instagram post, Jackson shared a screen capture of an article regarding a $53 million program for illegal immigrants in New York City. The post had the caption: "WTF Mayor Adams call my phone, I don't understand how this works. Somebody explain."50 Cent even dared to say that he felt black men have been identifying with Trump since he was hit with felony charges."We're heading into another election, so have you made a decision?" a reporter asked him in early June 2024."I'm not sure how to answer that, that question, to be honest with you," 50 Cent responded."What do you see is the significance of African American men in this election?" the reporter then asked."I see them identifying with Trump. ... Because they got RICO charges," he answered.RICO refers to Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a charge that is typically used by law enforcement to charge groups or individuals believed to have committed crimes over a long period of time.Jackson is one of the latest celebrities to join the mass exodus from Hollywood and, to a greater extent, California.The 49-year-old recently announced he would be opening a movie studio in the deep south, specifically Shreveport, Louisiana, in an effort to tell unique stories and for "fostering talent."

Kyle Gass — Jack Black's partner in their band Tenacious D — offered a pointed "wish" from a concert stage over the weekend after the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump: "Don't miss Trump next time."During the band's concert in Sydney, Australia, video shows Black singing "Happy Birthday" to Gass onstage as a birthday cake is presented to him.

After over a month of beta testing, Apple is finally releasing iOS 18 public beta 1 to registered users of the Apple Beta Software Program. If you want to be one of the first to try Apple's upcoming software updates before they're released to everyone later this fall, I gathered the eight best features available with iOS 18 that you will love, besides the Apple Intelligence platform. How to download iOS 18 public beta 1 First of all, you need to enroll your Apple Account (formerly Apple ID) into the Apple Beta Software Program. Once you do that, follow the steps below: On your iPhone, open the Settings app Tap on General and Software Update Tap on Beta Updates and enable iOS 18 Public Beta You should be reminded that this is still a beta version, so bugs and issues could occur. In addition, some of your favorite apps might not work as intended. If you uninstall the public beta, you can't recover your WhatsApp history chat available with iOS 18, only the latest one you saved with iOS 17, for example. So don't forget to back up everything before you try iOS 18 public beta. These are eight iOS 18 features I can't stop using, and I think you'll love them, too Starting with the basics, iOS 18 public beta 1 brings a revamped Home Screen. With that, you can place app icons and widgets whenever you like. You can also quickly transform an app into a widget by long-pressing it. This level of customization makes my Home Screen even more unique. Talking about customization, the new Control Center also makes my iPhone even more useful. With iOS 18 public beta 1, you'll be able to customize your Control Center, add more Home shortcuts, and even see some of the settings more easily. Image source: Apple Inc.

In addition, Apple is adding RCS support so that you can chat with your Android friends with more features and privacy. The new Passwords app makes it easier to access your passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes. That said, I can't wait for Apple to add support for credit cards... With iOS 18 public beta 1, there's a pro tip you will love to know it's there: SharePlay screen sharing. With that, users can take over other people's iPhones by helping them use SharePlay screen sharing over FaceTime. I also think one of the first features you'll try with the public beta is the ability to hide and lock your apps with Face ID. When an app is locked or hidden, content like messages or emails inside the app is hidden from search, notifications, and other places across the system. This is perfect for your bank apps, contacts, and more. Since I mentioned contacts, Apple revamped the Contacts app privacy settings, and now you have more control over how much data third-party apps can access. Like with your photos, you can choose which contacts can be shared with an app. Don't Miss: iOS 18: Features, release date, beta, download, Apple Intelligence The post iOS 18 public beta 1 now available with 8 key features appeared first on BGR.
