50 Cent Sued for Retaliation, Denies Claims

0:00On May 1, $0.50 is back in the legal spotlight, with a lawsuit from his former employee, Monique Mayer's. She accuses him of retaliation and harassment after she refused his alleged request to file a false police report. Mayer's claims the report was supposed to pin his driver and bodyguard for stealing his car along with $600,000 in cash. Things reportedly turned sour right after her refusal, leading to what she calls ongoing issues. Meanwhile, $0.50 legal team is firing back hard, denying every claim is baseless. His attorney describes Mayer as a disgruntled ex-worker who got fired for calls more than five years ago. They say this suit is just the cash grab way past the statute of limitations. On top of that, the team stresses they take threat seriously and even urge mayors to report them while notifying law enforcement themselves. $0.50 has built a massive empire in music, TV, liquor, and digital spaces, but this case shines a tough light on him. His side is geared up to battling court, and so far he has not commented publicly.
