5/2/2026

Summary

Curtis Jackson Sued

Monique Mayers sued rapper Curtis Jackson (50 Cent), alleging he made her place assets in her name and file a police report accusing his driver of stealing $600,000.
She says her refusal caused termination, led Forbes to retract her feature, and triggered an intimidation campaign of messages and calls reported to enforcement by Jackson’s counsel.
Attorney Reena Jain denies the claims, calls the suit baseless, and notes no ruling yet.

Summary

50 Cent Earnings

50 Cent earned over $15 million from his Las Vegas residency “50 Cent: In Da Club,” and his 2023-24 world tour generated more than $100 million in ticket sales, setting a rap-tour record.
A jury ordered him to pay $5 million plus $2 million punitive damages in a sex-tape case, totaling $7 million.
He is now facing a $1 billion “Power” intellectual-property lawsuit that has moved to mediation.
Jackson entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2015 amid mounting legal judgments.

History

Historical Context

MC Hammer’s Chapter 11 filing on April 1 1996, driven by more than $13 million in debt from declining sales and lavish spending, was converted to Chapter 7 in 1998. Decades later, rapper 50 Cent entered Chapter 11 in 2015 with roughly $32.5 million in liabilities, showing a recurring pattern of high-earning hip-hop artists confronting insolvency and prompting tighter contract scrutiny.
