Lawsuit Allegations
Monique Mayers, an executive for Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit businesses, filed a complaint in the Northern District of Georgia on April 30 2026. The filing says Jackson fired her after she refused to hide assets during his 2015 Chapter 11 bankruptcy and to file a false police report accusing his driver and bodyguard of stealing a car and $600,000. Mayers alleges an intimidation campaign of calls, voicemails, and pressure to retract a Forbes profile.
Background & Context
Jackson’s businesses include G-Unit Records, Touring, Film & Television, and Sire Spirits. He entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2015; Mayers alleges he concealed property by placing it in her name and misstated finances with a fabricated police report.
Key Figures
The case pits Mayers, a 12-year executive, against Jackson, the rapper-entrepreneur. Mayers is represented by attorney Bennitta Joseph; Jackson’s affairs are handled by Reena Jain.

Official Statements & Responses
Jackson’s counsel Reena Jain called the suit “baseless,” labeled Mayers a “disgruntled former employee,” and a “stunt to garner media attention.” Jain added that Jackson’s lawyers urged Mayers to contact law enforcement and reported the threats. Mayers’ attorney Bennitta Joseph said Jackson’s persona of feuds translates into “real-world consequences” and that the conduct amounts to intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.
Criticism & Opposition
Jackson’s team argues the filing falls outside the statute of limitations and calls the suit an attempt to secure a payday. They note no formal service of process has occurred.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
The complaint cites 83 calls, while reports say “over 80 incidents.” The text “you will suffer fif.” lacks corroborating evidence. Jackson has not been served, and no court has ruled on the merits.
