Fiddy, Fiddy, Fiddy...

Poor 50 Cent. I mean, the guy just can't catch a break, can he?

The press is all over him for his neither confirmed-nor-denied (translation: totally confirmed) relations with Chelsea Handler. He's been shot 9 times. And he's a multi-scandal phenomenon on Twitter.

I interviewed the rapper-actor-entrepreneur otherwise known as Curtis Jackson last week, in advance of an autograph signing sesh/photo op at the Sleek Audio booth at CES. (Sleek Audio is the manufacturer behind 50 Cent's new line of wireless headphones.)

During our 1-on-1 (the bulk of which will run in this week's edition of US Weekly) I asked him about Twitter.

Me: You have a, let's say, rather animated presence on Twitter...

50 Cent: My publicist, she hates when I do that. (laughs) She says, "Stop it, OK?" (laughs again) I get personal phone calls from her (telling me to) "Lighten up."

Well, according to the New York Post, he's in trouble for something he tweeted AGAIN... and no, it's nothing graphic or salacious in nature this time. Instead, his poor publicist now has to deal with a series of since-deleted tweets Fiddy posted plugging the same headphones he was at CES to promote.

"The 35-year-old celeb ... helped pop the shares of a no-name penny stock company he's invested in by 290 percent yesterday after chatting it up this weekend on Twitter," according to the New York Post report.

Apparently he urged his 3.5 million followers to buy stock in Sleek Audio's parent company, H&H Imports—or HHI on the NYSE for all you eager investors. 50 owns 33 million shares of HHI stock, but the company has a far-from-perfect financial standing as of right now (read: serious debt to the tune of $3.3 million).

After his tweets, the stock jumped from $0.10 to $0.39—effectively making the already-rich rapper $8.7 million.

That's right: $8.7-million. Pretty nice for 140 characters worth of work.
