G-Unit head 50 Cent is doing nothing to lessen any potential disses shot his way from rap rivals after revealing his financial woes during a publicized sex tape trial in court this week.
During his court appearance, Fif denied living the lavish life he promotes on social media.
Taking the witness stand in Manhattan Supreme Court, the rapper said his claims about having a fleet of luxury cars on both coasts, loads of bling, and even making a $1.6 million bet on boxer Floyd Mayweather are all bogus. “It’s entertainment,” he said of the lifestyle he portrays in his videos and on social media. (New York Daily News)
A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge ruled last Friday (July 17) for his sex tape case with victim Lastonia Leviston to continue despite Fif publicly filing for bankruptcy earlier in the week.
Friday’s hearing before U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Ann M. Nevins in Hartford was at the request of Leviston’s lawyers, who wanted the punitive damages portion of the civil trial to continue. The jury that heard the sex-tape case will now consider punitive damages Monday. (Hartford Courant)
Last week, Leviston filed a motion to request a bankruptcy court in Connecticut for relief to avoid an automatic stay, which would have delayed her big payday from 50.
The motion accuses the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, of filing for Chapter 11 protection to evade testifying earlier in the day in the New York civil case, where a jury was to consider punitive damages. That jury ruled Friday that Jackson must pay Leviston after releasing without her permission a sexually explicit video she made with her boyfriend. (AP)
Fif lost his publicized x-rated case with Leviston earlier this month.
The jurors — 4 women, 2 men — deliberated for just over an hour before awarding Lavonia Leviston $2.5 million in damages for using her image without her permission … and another $2.5 mil for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Leviston’s lawyers argued that the rapper had leaked the tape online as a ploy for publicity, and to diss Ricky Rozay. Fifty never showed up during the trial or even for the verdict. Next week, the jury will decide on punitive damages … so Fifty’s tab could go way up. (TMZ)
I think Curtis Jackson Jr. Is lying so he doesn’t have to pay his $5MM sex tape lawsuit and the $18MM headphone lawsuit.
yeah lie on the stand and perjure him that’s smart.
I’m not saying 50 the realest out there but when he’s faking shit it comes off ass TOO fake and people see right through it
The punitive damages are coming, and rick ross’s ex is gonna own part of g-unit, then sell it to Rick. he came it the game with beef and beef is gonna take him out of it
yes folks he is lying…we know it.. the jury knows it too so i dont see how he is gonna get over with that statement.. i say 5,000 can make that problem disappear.
50 got the most common on sohh it be 25 up to 35 but the other rappers on here have 2 up to 6 why is that Meek Mills he have a hot album so why we here ?
The black community loves seeing another black man down
ZIRP got ‘eem! I was right again gubmint/bank trolls when I said all rappers and athletes would succumb to ZIRP!!! You can avoid the truth all you want, but you can’t avoid the consequences of avoiding the truth!!!! Black man, average white man, you can’t win in the Judo economy spending them jubuxx!!!!!
