Rapper 50 Cent claims he was robbed of $300 million in crypto by hackers via his X account in just 30 minutes.
Apparently 50 Cent’s website and X account were hacked so that it appeared he was advertising a company called $GUNIT Cryptocurrency without his knowledge or permission.
The rapper’s X account has nearly 13 million followers.
The rapper made the following statement after tens of thousands of his fans were scammed by the hackers.
“My Twitter & Thisis 50.com was hacked and I have no association with this Crypto,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. “Twitter worked quickly to lock my account back down. Who ever did this made $300,000,000 in 30 minutes.”
Authorities later clarified that the amount the hackers received was actually about $3 million US dollars in crypto when converted to stock.
The legendary rapper’s Instagram account included screenshots from the $GUNIT crypto which started under $1 million in market value and quickly skyrocketed.
There is an ongoing investigation and the higher ups at $GUNIT are not responding to press inquiries. I’m willing to bet that the money and crypto will be returned — what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
