50 Cent Offers Jensen Huang An AI Job As Nvidia CEO Resigns

50 Cent offered Jensen Huang an AI job at G-Unit as the Nvidia founder’s affair scandal reached the boardroom and ended with his resignation Thursday.
The rapper paired his pitch with an AI-generated video depicting himself and Huang, set to “P.I.M.P.” The clip is not footage of the two men together.
“Jensen don’t sweat it come be head of AI at g-unit film a television,” 50 wrote in the caption. He followed that invitation with his GreenLightGang slogan.
The joke landed amid a far more serious corporate crisis. Nvidia announced November 12 that Huang had resigned as president, chief executive and board member, effective immediately.
Finance chief Colette Kress became interim CEO while retaining her CFO duties. The board is searching inside and outside the company for a permanent replacement. It also named Harvey C. Jones its first-ever chairman.
Huang had acknowledged infidelity in a November 8 message to employees.
“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
The scandal involves Alice Huang, a businesswoman linked to Megaspeed. She and Jensen Huang are not related. Reuters’ timeline traces the controversy to reporting about U.S. intelligence concerns over her relationship with the chip executive and suspected ties to Chinese intelligence. Those suspicions are allegations, not an established finding of espionage.
The board launched an independent investigation November 8. At that point, it said it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets had been compromised.
On November 10, independent directors retained former acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to conduct the inquiry.
A second alleged relationship then emerged. Reuters reported that The New York Times identified Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s healthcare vice president who reported to Huang, in a November 11 report about another affair.
For 50, the pitch also plugs the company behind his Shreveport studio ambitions. His caption offers a job, but it does not announce an agreement or a hiring.
