50 Cent Denies Gang Ties After Bang Em Smurf Seeks Asylum In The UK

You remember, Bang Em Smurf, right? 

He's the Queens rapper who was down with G-Unit before getting into a beef with 50 Cent.

Smurf is now seeking asylum in the United Kingdom, saying he needs protection from gangs in Trinidad, where he was born. 

He's currently living in a hotel while his case is being examined, and the hotel fee is being paid by UK taxpayers, which has caused some controversy in that country. 

Yesterday, 50 posted a page of the Sun that reads "50 Cent Rapper Lives In Asylum Hotel" and defended himself in the caption.

"I haven’t spoken to this guy in 23 years," wrote 50. "I hate that my name is attached to this. I in no way have any association or connection to gangs. I AM NOT GANG GANG! 🤔And to you tuff guys HAPPY MOTHERS DAY."

Any thoughts about this?
