[Prologue]

A jury decided on Friday that 50 Cent, who may or may not actually be as broke as he says he is, must pay an additional $2 million in punitive damages to Lastonia Leviston, the Associated Press reports.


Leviston had filed an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit against the rapper, alleging that he posted to the Internet a sex tape she had made with a boyfriend in 2008, which 50 Cent had acquired, edited, and narrated. (Leviston has a child with Rick Ross. 50 Cent was feuding with Rick Ross at the time. Rick Ross is not in the video.)

Two weeks ago, jurors ordered 50 Cent to pay Leviston $5 million. After the verdict, 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson III, filed for bankruptcy protection in Connecticut, which a judge later overruled.

According to the AP, 50 Cent’s lawyer said in a statement that they were disappointed with the verdict and would ask the court to reduce the jury’s award.

Wait, 7m total?

Yep

 

[Quick]

I don't know what you heard about me
But a bitch can't get a dollar out of me
No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see
That I'm a motherfucking P-I-M-P.

 

[jack_package_200]

Good.

Leaking something like that out is a shitty thing to do.

 

[gdt]

Bahaha thats awesome. Seems he's trying to game the game.

PS Great to be back!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

more like -699999950 Cent

 

[Kanye]

Looks like he didn't dodge the bullet this time.

 

[massoluk]

I have no fuck to give for this man's misfortune considering what he's done to the woman.

 

[Darksol]

Good. Fucking scummy thing to do.

 

[Big Baybee]

Looks like he didn't dodge the bullet this time.

He didn't dodge them last time either.

 

[TheOMan]

Ohhhh, these are cents!

FTFY

Edit:

Fixed that for myself. I get jokes now.

 

[HeySeuss]

So would this be why he's filing bankruptcy?

 

[Best Nintendo Fan Ever]

If I had this kind of money I'd be so afraid of having sex with anyone.

 

[karasu]

So that bankruptcy thing backfired completely?

 

[Prologue]

So would this be why he's filing bankruptcy?

he filed for bankruptcy because he didn't want to pay out. Judge overruled that and increased it by 2 million.

 

[Jenov]

...filed for bankruptcy protection in Connecticut, which a judge later overruled.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sounds like 50 took an L on this one, despite his (and his people's) financial savvy.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Typical rich piece of shit trying to weasel himself out of paying their money.
Glad that judge owned him.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

He didn't dodge them last time either.

Gotdamn! lol

 

[Culex]

I've driven by his house in CT, pretty crazy entryway.

It's on the market anyway, the sale from JUST that house should cover him.

 

[Cuburt]

lol 50 got what he deserved on this one.

 

[TheSlySoul]

So would this be why he's filing bankruptcy?

You know what, that makes sense.
He totally deserves paying 2 million more.

 

[Ricky_R]

 

[moered6]

wasn't the original estimate around like 15 mill or something for potential punitive damages?

 

[Toparaman]

 

[gdt]

So wait the bankruptcy has been dismissed as well? That should've been in the thread title haha oh man. This shit he did was fucked up and he deserves to pay every penny but haha man I love this guy.

 

[RumblingRosco]

His stage name is quite prophetic.

 

[DoktorEvil]

I've driven by his house in CT, pretty crazy entryway.

It's on the market anyway, the sale from JUST that house should cover him.

How many people are in the market to buy mansions nowadays?

 

[ViviOggi]

He didn't dodge them last time either.

ayy lmao

 

[samn]

He really is a disgusting human being. Glad to see his filing for bankruptcy failed.

7 millions lies

 

[Miles Quaritch]

wasn't the original estimate around like 15 mill or something for potential punitive damages?

This is what I'm wondering.

Seems Fiddy won and he'll probably get it down even further at appeals.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Looks like he didn't dodge the bullet this time.

He didn't dodge them last time either.

Lol.

 

[SimleuqiR]

So it was revenge port by association?

 

[entremet]

Stiches?

 

[Trike]

Wait, he edited and narrated it? I need to see this video, this could be a career defining video.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Wait, he edited and narrated it? I need to see this video, this could be a career defining video.

Yah I need to know what song of 50's is edited over the sex.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Wait, he edited and narrated it? I need to see this video, this could be a career defining video.

Yea, and I feel bad for saying this but it's hilarious. Dude could have had a career in comedy. He totally deserves this (and more) though.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

This is levels of stupid.

When you have to pay 5 mil and you try to slide and now you have to pay 7 mil....

Even if you had the money, why would you not just pay it and move on.... People settle out of papers everyday, 50 is stupid.

Spoiler

Bad Publicity is Publicity. 50 always knows how to keep his name being talked about for the stupidest reasons. His show Power is airing a 2nd season right now too.

 

[Acrylic7]

7 million is still nothing to him lol. He should have just paid up.

 

[The Cowboy]

I'd say take the 7m bill and leave it 50c, IMO you should get jail time for leaking something like that.

 

[jbug617]

7 million is still nothing to him lol. He should have just paid up.

He still has to pay $17million because of the headphones
http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2...llion-sleek-audio-lose-federal-judge-florida/

The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has been ordered by Palm Beach County, Fla. judge Peter D. Blanc to pay $17 million to manufacturer Sleek Audio, following a series of legal dealings stemming from an arbitration in which the company successfully argued to the court that the “Hate It or Love It” rapper used their model and design for a set of headphones he tried to manufacture.

 

[old manatee]

He should get jail time. That's such a shitty thing to do, and 7 million is nothing to 50.

 

[bud]

let's do a kickstarter for fiddy.

 

[old manatee]

let's do a kickstarter for fiddy.

He still owes me for the time I bought The Massacre.

 

[Mizerman]

And not a Cent less...

 

[samn]

I love his non-apology.

“I’m sorry if you feel like I hurt you”

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Bullshit he's broke. Dude owns Glaceau vitamin water doesn't he?
