50 Cent’s Crypto Scandal: How Hackers Scored Millions in Minutes
50 Cent and his social media followers were targeted in a pump-and-dump crypto scam involving $GUNIT. Hackers reportedly made between $3 million and $300 million before it was shut down. 50 Cent clarified his accounts were hacked and warned fans to stay cautious around celebrity-endorsed cryptocurrencies.
Hot Take:
50 Cent might have been singing “In Da Club,” but it was the scammers who were making it rain. From $300 million to $3 million, looks like someone miscalculated their math—or their hype. Either way, Fiddy’s followers got played harder than a vinyl record at a DJ Khaled party!
