Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson he's mostly known these days for his work as a top power player in the entertainment industry, but he hasn't lost his sharp sense of humor. After a judge threw out a lawsuit brought against him by a former drug lord who claimed his story was washed away, 50 Cent mocked the man in his typical sarcastic fashion.
As mentioned exclusively by AllHipHopCory “Ghost” Holland filed a lawsuit in 2021 against 50 Cent, Courtney Kemp, Starz and Lionsgate for allegedly stealing his life story for Power series.
Holland argued in his lawsuit that the character of Ghost on Power charted his life and recounted his time on the road in a 2007 music release. Holland claims to have sent a CD of the album, titled Blasphemy, to Kemp's father in order to find his way out of the drug game. Holland accused 50 Cent and the show's co-creators of stealing his life story for the show.
New York District Judge Hon. Analisa Torres denied Holland's claims in the three-pronged lawsuit. Judge Torres ruled on the first issue that Ghost's character in the Power The series was never directly reported in the Netherlands, so the defamation claim was dismissed.
In a second lawsuit, Holland alleged that 50 Cent sent people to harass and threaten him while performing in his neighborhood. In the third subject, Holland said people connected to 50 played a song suggesting a threat near his home.
Holland left behind a paper trail to 50 and his camp, which is clearly seen in a letter he received AllHipHop with Holland expressly stating that there will be violent consequences.
50 Cent, never letting a moment pass, got to Instagram and shared an image of a report on the dropped lawsuit and captioned it, “Fool thought it was a GHOST [laughing emoji] da fvck wrong with them [Ninja emoji]'s man LOL @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”
