Rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is at the center of a legal dispute after photographer Guadalupe De Los Santos filed a lawsuit against him. The claim stems from an alleged incident outside The Grove in Los Angeles on September 11, 2024, in which De Los Santos says he was knocked off his scooter by the door of an SUV associated with the rapper. He is now seeking damages for assault, battery, and emotional distress.
50 Cent’s Legal Team Responds
Jackson’s attorney has strongly refuted the allegations, calling the lawsuit “frivolous.” The legal team maintains that 50 Cent was not driving the vehicle in question and was not responsible for the alleged door-opening incident. Additionally, they stated that Jackson has yet to be formally served with the lawsuit and intends to challenge it in court while exploring possible legal countermeasures.
Public Reaction and 50 Cent’s Comments
Reacting to the lawsuit, 50 Cent dismissed it outright, characterizing it as an attempt to exploit his celebrity status. He took to social media to mock the case, referring to it as “ambulance chasing” and even jokingly offering to take the opposing attorney out to dinner rather than dealing with what he views as an unnecessary legal battle.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
The lawsuit has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and both parties are expected to present their cases in the coming weeks. The court will evaluate the evidence provided by De Los Santos and determine whether Jackson holds any legal responsibility for the incident.
As the case moves forward, it underscores the legal challenges that public figures often face when involved in personal injury disputes. The outcome will be closely watched to see how the court rules on these allegations.
