50 Cent’s Twitter Hack Promotes Fake Solana Meme Coin: The GUNIT Scam.
Rapper 50 Cent’s Twitter (X) account was hacked on friday to promote the new Solana meme coin, GUNIT. Initially, it seemed Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent, was launching his own token, considering the recent trend of celebrities endorsing meme coins. However, it was later exposed that this was a  pump-and-dump scam.

Moreover, the hacker had cleverly framed the tweets, referring to 50 Cent’s cognac brand and crypto history, intentionally making the scam seem legitimate. As a result, there was a rush of investments into GUNIT, and the trading volume of takens witnessed an increase of 8,000% before crashing.
