50 Cent Taunts Eric Adams After Feds Raid Official Mayoral Residence
Federal agents searched New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ home in a dawn raid the morning after news of his indictment was reported.
Footage captured by TMZ showed around a dozen law enforcement agents arriving at the mayor’s official Gracie Mansion on Thursday morning (September 25), just hours before the indictment was set to be unsealed.
Agents seized Adams’ phone during the raid, according to an Associated Press report.
“Federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle (again) and take Mayor Adams’ phone (again),” Alex Spiro told the outlet. “They send a dozen agents to pick up a phone when we would have happily turned it in.”
The indictment marks the first time in the city’s history that a sitting mayor has faced criminal charges and dominated headlines overnight.

“This s### is getting crazy out here!” 50 Cent captioned his post. “Do you want a docu series on Eric Adams ? 🤷 I want to know what the f### is going on here.”
Eric Adams declared his innocence and vowed to fight the charges in a recorded statement on Wednesday evening (September 25). He also rejected calls to resign and vowed to remain in office amid the investigation.
“If I am charged, I know I am innocent,” he said. “I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth.”
