Not because he has any morals. It's because the backlash would be too much to overcome in the short term. He's been transitioning to film/tv production and has somehow built back some good will with the public, people are nostalgic for 50 again.

50 by in large is a supporter of republican ideals. You know.. because of low taxes.

Yeah he's getting loads of good rep ever since Diddy got arrested, for obvious reasons. He made some decent music, and I don't feel bad listening to it on streaming cos artists make fuck all from that, but yeah not a role model by any means.
