That´s right Ezequiel. This is a very informal way to form "negative auxiliary verbs”

Not only for the verb to be but also for auxiliaries like "do" or "have"

For instance I ain´t got money (I haven’t got any money)

Where does it come from? I ain´t got a clue (jeje), but never use it fromal texts
