50 cents is not to play with him when it comes to his likeness. He sued a New York jeweler for using his name to sell chains.
As spotted on TMZ, the 'I Get Money' rapper is coming for his coin. TraxNYC recently posted a video of a cross-like pendant worn by 50 Cent. “50 Cent wears this interesting cross and guess what 50 Cent? We built it and built it for our customers,” he said. “We just made fun of your style, I know you watch my videos and now I watch your s**t and your s**t like you did my s**t.” Maksud Agadjani went on to blatantly admit that he rejected the idea for the locket from his G-Unit boss. “I thought it was a nice cross 50 and I thought he was nice enough to do it.”
The post soon landed on 50 Cent's radar prompting the MC to leave a comment on the original post. “This was a bad idea, you'll regret it I promise,” to which the @traxnyc account immediately responded, “you've got nothing better to worry about.” It seems the lack of urgency further aggravated the Queens, NY native. Later that day, 50 Cent posted about it on his Instagram. “Sometimes someone does something like this.😟I don't know why 🤷but I know 🤨I need it from Monday.” the caption read.
It looks like Agadjani is trying to hit back with a post reminding 50 Cent that crosses are a symbol of forgiveness. A rep for the rapper confirmed with TMZ that legal action is taken against the store. “Mr. Jackson takes seriously the unauthorized commercial use of his name and likeness.”
