50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against HipHopDX to say that he was lying on a agreement that said he had secured and published his photo without proper authorization.
The drama began when 50 Cent announced that the executives of Bellator MMA bought their "Get the Strap" slogan for one million dollars, that the company wanted to use the motto on the next merch. Shortly after the publication of the news, HipHopDX published its own story, along with a photo of the agreement signed by photographer Christopher Conrad, with a title that said: "50 Cent did not sell" Get The Strap "to Bellator MMA for $ 1M. " The hip-hop site cited a source that said 50-year claims were not accurate.
"A spokesman for Bellator told HipHopDX that the 50's publication" is not true. "However, he confirmed that the head of Unity G met with executives of the mixed martial arts promotion as well as representatives of the parent company of Bellator Viacom, "said HipHopDX publication
This got 50 Cent upset, because from the legal documents obtained by The Blast, he said he has the rights to the photo which shows him standing alongside Bellator MMA executives, that he did not give HipHopDX the permission to publish the photo, plus he accused the website of sharing “fake news.”
He then threatened to sue the reporter and the outlet for displaying the copyrighted photo without his consent.
“This shit is fake news Justin lvey, you better go fact check,” he wrote on Instagram. “Matter of fact I’m gonna sue you and this website for using my picture in the morning. get the strap.”
The Blast adds 50 is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.
