50 Cent was hacked by people shilling a memecoin, and the scheme apparently worked.
50 Cent said on Saturday that his X/Twitter account and website, ThisIs50, were hacked and that the hacker promoted a cryptocurrency called $GUNIT, you know, like G-Unit, the rapper's onetime group.
According to 50 Cent himself, the hack was quite successful.
He wrote on Instagram: "My Twitter & Thisis 50.com was hacked I have no association with this Crypto. Twitter worked quickly to lock my account back down.
