Curtis James Jackson, better known by the moniker 50 Cent, now finds himself entangled in legal woes. The popular rapper is accused of directing someone to allegedly hit a photographer using the door of an SUV. One Guadalupe De Los Santos has initiated legal proceedings against the artist, alleging that this act caused him to be thrown off his electric scooter.
According to the assault lawsuit documents, this particular incident took place on September 11, 2024. Santos had gone to the In Da Club rapper’s book signing event at The Grove in Los Angeles. After the event wrapped up, the photographer made his way back home. Just then, he claims that 50 Cent’s car pulled up next to him at a street. When the vehicles stopped at a red light, the front passenger door of Cent’s car opened suddenly which led to Santos fall down from his scooter forcefully.
Guadalupe De Los Santos alleges that 50 Cent intentionally instructed another person to carry out the act on his behalf. In the lawsuit, he argues that there was no justification for the SUV door to be opened at that specific location, implying it was done deliberately to harm him. The photographer, now the plaintiff, claims he was knocked to the ground, suffering physical injuries. Additionally, his electric scooter was reportedly damaged so severely that it can no longer be used.
The plaintiff, seeking compensation from the rapper, claimed that his injuries have disrupted his career, causing a loss of income while his medical expenses keep piling up.
Soon after, 50 Cent took to his Instagram to share an old photo with attorney Gloria Allred. Curtis Jackson captioned the post: “The moment I realised I don’t like lawyers Gloria you should know better, chase a different ambulance. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” She is now backing him in the case.
