50 Cent Reminds Meghann Cuniff of $500,000 ASAP Rocky Verdict Bet: ‘Need My Money by Monday’

Following ASAP Rocky's acquittal in his assault trial, 50 Cent has playfully reminded reporter Meghann Cuniff of a comment she left on his post saying he'd bet $500,000 on the rapper winning his case against ASAP Relli.

"I got ASAP beaten this case I'll bet 500,000 on it, that boy ASAP Tellie was just trying to get some money," wrote 50 Cent in a post earlier this month. "Fool said I was scared for my life so I went back to the scene and picked up these shells. Officer 👮 told him hey if you want to get some money go to the hospital. Who want the bet!"

Following Rocky's acquittal, 50 Cent shared a screenshot of the original post showing a comment from Cuniff that reads, "I'll take that bet." In the caption, he added, "@MeghannCuniff I'm a need my money by Monday."

Cuniff, a seasoned legal reporter, was likely joking when she wrote the comment, but she should know better than to even joke about potentially owing 50 Cent some money. The rapper has famously asked people to give him money he believes he's owed on social media many times, including Young Buck last year.

50 Cent has been following Rocky's case very closely, frequently posting the latest updates on his Instagram. "Not guilty," he wrote alongside a picture of Rocky when the news broke. "I told [ninja emoji]s I would bet 500,000 K he gonna beat it when ASAP Tellie started getting tired of telling 5 days straight. ... Now stay sucker free!"
