50 Cent ignites social media with video supporting Louisiana Amendment Two
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—Social media lit up in Shreveport, with people asking each other, 'Did you get a text or email from 50 Cent asking you to vote yes for Amendment 2?'
He posted a video and written support for the amendment through his G-unity Foundation, and it wasn't long before people started resharing the video in which the head of G-Unit Television and Films introduced himself by his 'government' name, Curtis James Jackson.
Some online questioned why he chose a day before voters in the state were to adopt or deny significant changes to the constitution to announce his support for the amendment.
Louisiana Commissioner calls constitutional amendment #2 'foolish'
Louisiana State Representative Tammy Phelps said, 'I'm hoping Shreveporters are smarter than that.' She went on to say, 'Saturday's election is really, really important to the state of Louisiana because we're changing our constitution, things that have been protected, things that have been best thus far for the state of Louisiana.'
Still, many applauded Jackson for having a say in supporting the amendment. The amendment involves many changes to the state tax code that Governor Jeff Landry and his administration believe will be a game-changer for Louisiana, making it a more welcoming state to do business.
There is also a video of Donald Trump Jr. supporting the amendment, and the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce has also come out in support.
