50 Cent is stirring up controversy again by fueling speculations that he is potentially stepping into Sean "Diddy" Combs' shoes as the fresh face of Cîroc.
In a recent Instagram post on April 3, 50 Cent posted a screenshot of an article from Media Take Out that has since been discredited.
The piece suggested that the beverage company is eyeing him as their next brand ambassador.
The rapper "In Da Club" wrote in his post, "Good morning, people. Start the day off with positive energy, and make what your heart desires happen. QGTM [moneybags emoji] @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi."
50 Cent's False Claims
However, 50 Cent is not being considered as a potential successor to Diddy as the next brand ambassador for Diageo's Ciroc.
According to recent information from TMZ, Diageo has no plans to involve 50 Cent.
After all, he's already the owner of Sire Spirits.
Diddy had a long-standing 15-year partnership with Cîroc. However, their collaboration stopped following a lawsuit filed by the rapper against Diageo last year.
In a recent legal action, Diddy sued Diageo, alleging that his vodka and tequila brands were not given the support they were promised.
The lawsuit claimed that Diageo neglected the "Coming Home" hitmaker's Ciroc vodka and DeLeon tequila brands while favoring other celebrity-endorsed products.

Diddy's Legal Troubles
Authorities conducted a raid on properties owned by Diddy during an investigation into sex trafficking.
Police presence was prominent, with command trucks stationed outside each location.
Viewers watching local television witnessed officers carrying rifles outside the residence of Combs in Los Angeles.
Upon being taken into custody, Justin and Christian "King" Combs, sons of Diddy, had their hands secured with zip ties by the authorities.
Diddy complied fully with the authorities, resulting in no arrests or travel limitations imposed on himself or his family members.
Homeland Security has not disclosed the nature of its investigation concerning the "I Need A Girl" hitmaker.
A significant development in the probe of Diddy has emerged with the commencement of a criminal inquiry, marking a heightened level of scrutiny.
Over the past few months, he has faced multiple sexual abuse lawsuits as the accused party.
