50 Cent’s social media accounts hacked
50 Cent, along with his millions of social media followers, has fallen victim to a massive crypto scam. Scammers hijacked 50 Cent’s X (formerly Twitter) account and website Thisis50.com to promote a fake memecoin called GUNIT. This caused an outcry on the famous rapper’s social media platforms.
At first, 50 Cent claimed in a post on his Instagram account that the scammers made 300 million dollars in 30 minutes. However, this amount was later updated to 3 million dollars.
50 Cent used the following statements in his post on Instagram: “Twitter and Thisis50.com have been hacked, I have nothing to do with this crypto. Twitter managed to get my account back quickly. The people who did this made 3 million dollars in 30 minutes.”
