AceShowbiz - 50 Cent's entourage was accused of assaulting a jeweler named Robert Marin before robbing his jewelry and fleeing in Las Vegas on Saturday night, May 2. The jeweler claimed that the apparent defendants stole a golden watch and chain which were worth $250K.
According to TMZ, the owner of LAX Jewelry co. planned to sell the jewelry to the rapper. The two met at Drai's nightclub to show the bling and negotiate the price. They stayed and had fun at the club until late.
Robert then claimed that 50 Cent and his entourage invited him to see Floyd Mayweather's gym. When they arrived at the gym, 50 Cent was not seen anywhere and the condition started heating up. He stated that the crew pistol-whipped him before they stole the jewelry and ran away from the site. Robert later reported the incident to the Las Vegas police department and now the police are investigating the case.
50 Cent's lawyer Scott Leemon has said in a statement to deny the allegations. "On behalf of I can adamantly deny that he or his security had anything to do with these baseless and false allegations," so the statement read.
Some speculated that the allegation might be wrong as the rapper reportedly won $1.6 million betting on the fight between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. against Manny Pacquiao. Moreover, 50 Cent's net wealth was $155 million, as Forbes magazine claimed.
