There have been tons of rappers getting behind liquor companies for the last coupleyears. These days, however, 50 Cent is officially out for the count now that it has been confirmed he’s sold his minority stake in Effen Vodka, the liquor he once co-owned that’s been named in every caption he’s posted on social media for years.
Lately, fans started noticing that he was not promoting the brand at all on his social media with his typical #effenvodka and #effenmob hashtags. On top of that, 50 was also spotted holding a bottle of Ciroc during a Fourth of July party at Angel’s Strip Club in New York City which left many surprised and confused.
But the truth is now out — 50 is no longer associated with EFFEN. Almost all past hashtags on his Instagram have been removed and the Breakfast Club on Power 105 NY revealed the news that the G-Unit boss has sold off his stake in the company.
Fiddy allegedly scored $60 million out of the business move. Overall it was obviously a nice investment by 50, who definitely made off with a healthy profit.
