50 Cent Sues Over Ads

Tuesday August 23, 2005
50 Cent, AKA Curtis James Jackson, III, is suing a Philadelphia car dealership for using the line "Just Like 50 Says!" with a picture of the rapper and a Dodge Magnum. 50 Cent is suing Gary Barbera Enterprises for more than $1 million as a result .

The company's marketing director told USAToday.com that 50 Cent had worked with them on a radio commercial to promote a Magnum giveaway. He says the print ad was basically a shorter version of the commercial.

50 cent is on a fast train of gathering up as much cash as he possibly can. His 10% share of ownership in Vatamin water got him $400,000,000. Now he’s nickle and diming car dealerships and Taco Bell. Not long ago fiddy was selling riock cocaine. I have a personal opinion about Scott STorch and his tremendous financial losses, He might have got hooked on Oxy Contin, but then again, I think all the mortgage crashes taking place are also due to Oxy Contin!. Just my opinion
