It's low level pump and dump, CNBC does it every day so he should be fine.

CNBC does not directly benefit financially from price increases in stocks they cover. In this case, Mr Jackson (50 Cent) has a financial interest in the company and does participate in stock price gains - That is where I see a significant difference.
