G-Unit boss 50 Cent‘s SMS Promotions client Yuriorkis Gamboa reportedly wants to cut ties and leave the company.

According to reports, the professional fighter claims SMS Promotions failed to live up to its end of a contract which guaranteed three fights annually.

In fact, Gamboa only fought once in 2013, twice in 2014 … and has no fights in 2015. It’s all outlined in court docs filed by Gamboa in Connecticut and obtained by TMZ Sports …in which Gamboa says his team contacted SMS to negotiate the termination of his contract earlier this year, but he got no response. (TMZ)

50’s team has already come forward to speak out on the situation.

A rep for SMS Promotions says … the whole thing is essentially Gamboa’s fault — claiming the networks lost interest in him after he lost his fight to Terence Crawford back in 2014. SMS adds … “He was most recently brought an offer to fight against Nicholas Walters and Gamboa’s managers advised that he wasn’t in good enough shape to do so.” (TMZ)

Last month, 50 took legal action against a former business affiliate.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday seeks at least $810,000 from Andrew Jameson, who 50 Cent’s lawyers say improperly negotiated deals on the rapper’s behalf, including one for a reality show with E! Entertainment. 50 Cent is also seeking an accounting from Jameson of any other deals. (AP)

Recent reports claimed Fif asked a bankruptcy judge not to publicize his past profits from beverage company VitaminWater.

theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) is pleading with the judge presiding over his bankruptcy to not reveal how much he actually racked in by being the face of VitaminWater over the years, claiming if the terms of the deal were made public it would ruin his career and give other companies the upper hand in negotiations for future deals.
