Rapper 50 Cent recently claimed that his online accounts were hacked by a cryptocurrency schemer who made millions of dollars in the process.
50 Cent Fans Get Scammed
50 announced on Instagram that the scammer used his Twitter account to promote a crypto-token called $GUNIT – a reference to G-Unit, a hip-hop group that 50 was previously part of.
Last Friday the scammer posted “$GUNIT for winners only…” which led an unknown number of users to buy the coin.
The scammer also posted screenshots of the $GUNIT crypto, which showed under $1 million in market value.
However, 50 stated he was not associated with the venture and his accounts were then locked.
“My Twitter and Thisis50.com was hacked I have no association with this Crypto,” 50 Cent posted on Instagram.
“Twitter worked quickly to lock my account back down. Who ever did this made $300,000,000 in 30 minutes.”
