50 Cent Sued Over Retaliation Claims

Monique Mayers, a former senior operational employee of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, filed a complaint alleging she was fired after refusing requests and subsequently faced intimidation. The filing says Jackson asked her to place assets in her name and to file a false police report about a stolen vehicle and $600,000 in cash. Mayers seeks damages and a court order to halt further alleged harassment.
