US rapper 50 Cent's X account was stolen, and hackers💻 promoted GUNIT coins to defraud $300 million

US rapper Curtis James Jackson III (stage name "50 Cent") claimed that his X account and website were hacked, causing hackers to promote a cryptocurrency and defraud $300 million from victims. Hackers created a new crypto token "GUNIT", using 50 Cent's approximately 12.9 million fans to attract more investors and drive up the price, and then drained its value, with the token price plummeting to $0.00016.

On June 21, 50 Cent posted on Instagram to his 32.8 million fans claiming that his X account and website had been hacked, and admitted that a large amount of victims' funds had been lost from the project. "Twitter quickly locked my account. Whoever did it made $300 million in 30 minutes," 50 Cent declared that he "had nothing to do with this cryptocurrency."
