Entertainment icon 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, recently encountered a legal setback as New York Judge Analisa Torres ruled on December 19th that there wasn't enough evidence to dismiss a complaint against him. The lawsuit, filed by ex-drug dealer Cory "Ghost" Holland earlier this year, alleges threats, intimidation, and the hiring of a hitman by the rapper.
Holland, who is already entangled in a legal dispute with 50 Cent over the rights to his life, had previously sued the G-Unit founder for $1 billion in 2021, claiming that "Power," the hit crime drama series, mirrored his real life without permission. Now, Holland asserts that 50 Cent has resorted to intimidation tactics to force him into dropping the complaint, even alleging the involvement of a hired hitman.
The judge's ruling indicates that 50 Cent failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, paving the way for a trial. Holland, expressing fear for his life and his family's safety, alleges that the rapper's ability to hire a hitman through a $150 million contract with STARZ LIONSGATE is the source of his anxiety. He contends that the hitmen, once paid, pose a constant threat to him and his family, regardless of their location.
Holland goes further, suggesting that 50 Cent may have ties to the government that shield him from accountability. The former kingpin also names others he believes have been victimized by the entertainer, including #MURDERINC founders Chris and #IrvGotti, and #MeganTheeStallion.
As the legal drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how 50 Cent will navigate these serious allegations and whether the trial will shed light on the complexities of this legal battle.
