Overview
- 50 Cent’s Instagram post, shared Sunday, mocked James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond with a claim he was “poked up” in prison in a message outlets say was later deleted.
- Rosemond denied the story in a phone call circulated online, saying he is well, has never been in protective custody, and called the report a false rumor.
- Details in posts and reports conflict on his location, with 50 Cent citing Hazelton and Missouri while outlet checks point to a federal prison in Louisiana and no official confirmation of any attack.
- The back-and-forth revives a feud tied to a 2007 assault on Rosemond’s 14-year-old son and a 2009 killing that led to his 2018 life-plus-30-year sentence.
- Rosemond said this is the second time such a stabbing rumor has trended, underscoring how celebrity posts can spread unverified claims about people in custody.
