New York rapper 50 Cent wants to laugh straight to the bank again at his former lawyers’ expense. The hip-hop star has reportedly sued his ex-attorneys for $32 million over their conduct in a publicized sex tape case.
According to reports, Fif filed his documents last Friday (January 27) against law firm Reed Smith and attorney Peter Raymond for mishandling his case with victim Lastonia Leviston.
In 2015, Jackson was hit with a total of $7 million in damages for posting a sex tape of Leviston and her partner online, overdubbing the tape with his own commentary. Shortly thereafter, the rapper filed for bankruptcy. Jackson’s claim contends that he wouldn’t have had to file for bankruptcy if not for the “neglectful, negligent and unethical conduct of Raymond and Reed Smith” in the Leviston lawsuit. (TheWrap)
Coincidentally, 50 recently revealed his intent to take action against the law firm.
Earlier the same week, the Unit boss publicly apologized for airing out another law firm.
A few days prior, 50 tossed up a now-deleted Instagram post bashing the law firm.
