50 Cent Twitter ghostwriter goes public

50 Cent x Twitter. It’s funny how these artists are finally coming out and admitting it’s not them writing on their blogs or on their Twitters. Like Kanye who finally admitted he doesn’t write his blog. Did any of us really believe it to begin with? And if it’s really Diddy Tweetin how freakin great life is and how positive we should be…well he gets the Tony Robbins award for best movtivational speaker.

And now The NY Times is getting into the issue of Twitter fraud as they just ran an article about all the fake celebrity accounts that are currently active. In the article, The Times reveals that 50 Cent also has a ghosttweeter who is actually the head of ThisIs50.com, Chris “Broadway” Romero. The paper states:

“My ambition leads me through a tunnel that never ends.”

Those were 50 Cent’s words, but it was not exactly him tweeting. Rather, it was Chris Romero, known as Broadway, the director of the rapper’s Web empire, who typed in those words after reading them in an interview.

“He doesn’t actually use Twitter,” Mr. Romero said of 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, “but the energy of it is all him.”

I wonder what Rick Ross has to say about that. Via: RR
