In a surprising turn of events, rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent has publicly called out boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. for allegedly fabricating claims about his real estate investments in New York City. The controversy erupted after Mayweather announced that he had acquired a portfolio of 62 rental apartment buildings for a staggering $42 million. However, a recent report from Business Insider has cast doubt on these assertions, stating that no such deal appears to have taken place.
Mayweather, who has a history of flaunting his wealth, took to Instagram to showcase what he claimed were his latest acquisitions. In a video, he boasted about owning the six buildings outright, insisting that he had no partners involved in the ownership. “I love bringing viewers to my lifestyle,” he stated, emphasizing his supposed dominance in the real estate market. However, Business Insider has contradicted these claims, asserting that the ownership of the buildings remains unchanged and that they are not owned by Mayweather as he suggested.
The fallout from these revelations has led to widespread skepticism regarding Mayweather’s financial dealings. Observers are left questioning the motivations behind his public statements and the implications of potentially misleading his fans and followers about his investments. 50 Cent, known for his candid and often humorous critiques of fellow celebrities, seized the opportunity to rib Mayweather, highlighting the inconsistencies in his claims.
As both figures continue to dominate the headlines, the scrutiny surrounding Mayweather’s real estate ventures raises important questions about transparency in celebrity financial dealings. With the boxing legend’s credibility now in question, fans and industry insiders alike will be watching closely for any developments in what has become a highly publicized dispute.
