In his interview with TMZ, the producer answered a question on if Many Men was the ideal choice for the material made on Trump to which Darrell said that a part of him could see why people were connecting the song to the situation.
However, the producer also said that the other part of him couldn't understand how the situation with Donald Trump got connected to his song. Darrell "Digga" Branch told TMZ:
" I'm not feeling dude at all. I'm not voting for him. People that know me and are close to me know that I go in hard on him every chance I get. So, to have that situation happen like that and then now all of the sudden, the irony of my song being connected to this is just crazy."
Moreover, Darrell also told the publication that Many Men is his most "iconic, legendary production". He also mentioned that the song is a classic that has lasted the test of time, given it is something he worked on 20 years ago. When the interviewer asked Darrell "Digga" Branch whether he would put his foot down if the song continued to be a part of the Trump campaign, the producer gave an affirmative nod and mentioned, "That's not happening".
Darrell also talked about getting a lot of requests from people for using Many Men and gave the instance of boxers and American football quarterback Tom Brady using the track. However, the producer mentioned how he gets the song being used by sportspersons but not in a political context, emphasizing how the track won't be allowed for use in Trump's campaign.
While rapper 50 Cent did not give a statement on the same, the rapper participated in the meme frenzy by performing on Many Men in Boston on July 13, 2024. The rapper's performance featured a doctored meme of Donald Trump's face on the album cover of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.
