G-Unit head 50 Cent‘s finances continue to diminish as reports claim he now owes sex tape case plaintiff Lastonia Leviston another $2 million.
A jury broke the pockets-hurting news in court heading into the weekend.
The jury announced the judgment in NYC on Friday. 50 already got hit with a $5 million judgment in the case earlier this month … which lead to him filing for personal bankruptcy. UPDATE: 50 Cent’s attorney has released a statement saying the rapper plans to fight the judgement hoping to “reduce the size of the award.” (TMZ)
During a court appearance in his sex tape trial this week, 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 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)
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)
50 just pay half in cash then get the rest through a secured loan. If you paying 7 million try to at least secure the rights to the video since its relevant, you can then monetize it. This case has made you a laughing stock amongst your friends SMH
Monetize it? Xvideos, all day. You can even see Ms D from Bring It there for free. If I wouldn’t pay to see Paris or Kim K…..
Exactly
All that trolling on IG/Twitter finally caught up with this nigga
How is this nobody getting millions of this guys hard earned money over some bullshit sex tape.
if that was your mother, would it still be bullshit.
