*50 Cent is setting the record straight about recent media reports that revealed his impressive come-up through investments with Bitcoin. It seems he has found himself in hot water, again, for bragging about his finances in the wake of his bankruptcy filing.
According to new documents — obtained by Page Six via The Blast — that were filed in Connecticut as part of his ongoing bankruptcy case, 50 Cent “never owned, and does not own, a Bitcoin account or any Bitcoins, and to the best of his knowledge, none of his companies had a Bitcoin account from 2014 to the present.”
The “Power” actor and part-time rapper said he was referring to reports from last month claiming he had made about $8 million in Bitcoin after allowing his 2014 album, “Animal Ambition,” to accept the cryptocurrency as payment.
According to the documents, 50 says the album did accept Bitcoin payments, but they were converted to US dollars by a third party before G-Unit received the funds.
50 didn’t deny the Bitcoin reports publicly because he subscribes to the “all news is good news” mantra…. if a story isn’t “irreparably damaging” to his image or brand he doesn’t “feel the need.”

Kim Zolciak’s daughter Brielle Biermann turned 21 on Sunday, and when she returned home on Monday after celebrating in Miami, her mom gifted her with a brand new customized Glock 43, complete with rose gold slide.
According to TMZ, “Brielle seemed a little nervous around the weapon at first, but Kim said it’s important for her to have it … now that Brielle’s living in her own condo.”
Kim’s mini-me also received some pieces of art, “molds of topless women, which set Kim back $5,550 each.” The handgun was a relative bargain at just $1,300.
