Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Maybe when 50 Cent, Ja Rule and Busta Rhymes ask young people to vote, they’re asking them to vote in their place.
The trio, along with hip-hop icons Damon Dash and Jermaine Dupri, hope to recruit 20 million new voters in five years as part of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network’s “One Mind, One Vote” drive, but they aren’t even registered, according to public records.
Jay-Z, P. Diddy and Queen Latifah also are down with the campaign, but they haven’t seen a ballot booth lately either, the New York Daily News reports.
The summit’s president promised to get the artists registered.
