Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson reportedly secured a billion dollar lawsuit from an ex-drug lord related to his Power series.
50 Cent beats Ex-Drug Kingpin in court & wins $1 Billion over “Power” series lawsuit
G-G-Unit mogul 50 Cent wins $1,000,000,000 over the ‘Power’ series by a former drug kingpin.
In a recent report, according to AllHipHop. Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr. who accused the rapper/co-creator of Power of stealing his life story and using it for the plot of the hit show. In true 50 Cent fashion, he joked about the matter on social media the first chance he could get.
50 Cent jumped on Instagram seemingly confirming the news, on Saturday (Aug. 3), Fif continued the trend by posting a screenshot of the story headline announcing that he won the suit, followed by a victory lap of a caption. “Fool thought he was Ghost 😆 da fvck wrong wit these 🥷’s man 🤨 LOL,” he wrote.
Judge Analisa Torres recently ruled in favor of 50 Cent, deciding that the show never directly references Holland.
Back In 2021, Holland filed a lawsuit that alleged 50 Cent and fellow executive producer Courtney Kemp stole the idea for Power from his actual life. Reportedly, Holland’s relationship with Kemp’s father stretches back to the 1990s.
He claims that the two remained in touch until 2007 when Holland allegedly mailed a CD he made for at-risk youth to Kemp’s father, which included a cautionary tale about his own life as a drug dealer. Holland claims Power producers have based at least 200 scenes on his life and now, he believes his life is in danger.
He’s also accused the G-Unit mogul and his associates of bullying, and claims they’ve made threats on his life. Holland has said that 50 Cent has thrown “a lot of subliminal shots” at him in the five months since he filed the lawsuit.
Additionally, Power‘s co-creator Courtney Kemp, the Starz network, and Lionsgate were also named in the case. Although the likeness lawsuit has seemingly been dismissed, 50 Cent isn’t done fighting with Cory “Ghost” Holland in court.
Holland has also filed a $300 million lawsuit where he accused 50 Cent of intentionally inflicting emotional distress upon him and allegedly attempting to have him physically assaulted. Holland also claimed Lionsgate Entertainment didn’t make any effort to stop the harassment. This case is still pending.
