50 Cent Wins Lawsuit

50 Cent gets another win in the legal realm. Remember that $200 million lawsuit he was facing over his hit show, Power ? The case has been thrown out.

As previously reported, writer Larry Johnson levied the suit back in September of 2015. He claimed that he gave a manuscript he wrote titled,Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid , to Nikki Turner at G-Unit Books in 2005. He went on to allege the manuscript was passed to 50 who ripped off the story and used it for the hit Starz series.

After two years in litigation, a judge has sided with the Queens rap mogul. TMZ is reporting the judge in the case was unconvinced by the evidence Johnson brought forth. He determined that the elements in the manuscript and television show are common to the crime drama noting, “One need only look to such shows and movies as The Wire , Empire , Breaking Bad , Narcos ,Weeds, Carlito’s Way , American Gangster , New Jack City, Scarface and Paid in Full.”

Power has continued to be one of the hottest shows on television. Season four wrapped in September, and the series has been renewed for a fifth season, which will air in 2018.

50 continues to expand into the world of TV and movies. Along with his new show, 50 Central, he is starring in the new film, Den of Thieves , alongside O’Shea Jackson Jr. The action-packed heist film is scheduled to hit theaters on Jan. 19, 2018.

After Jude by Dashia. Chapter 9

Jessica my sister could be a real pain in the butt, sometimes, I thought she was meant to have been Fatima's sister. It was my fourth day back home in Abuja and she'd refused going back to school so she'd be with me... She could be sweet too. We'd done all the house chores and since Almighty NEPA wanted us to know they were our superiors, we stayed in darkness. My mum was asleep and my dad had gone to work. So as not to feel extra bored, I played Black Eyed Peas' 'I gotta feeling' and the girl kept jumping and dancing like a monkey. My brother had had enough and begged me to stop the song as Jess wouldn't just dance but sing along with it. "Please... if you love me as much as you claim... Stop this song." He begged. I shook my head with so much emphasis. "No." "Watch and learn baby." She said dancing towards him in a strut. "What does he want to learn in your monkey dance?" I asked her. "At least...

Floyd Mayweather accuses ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson of theft. Floyd Mayweather is accusing his former fiancée Shantel Jackson of stealing “large sums of cash” during their relationship, a legal move that comes days before her domestic violence lawsuit against the boxer is due to get a trial date. The undefeated fighter made the theft claim in a cross-complaint filed this week along with his formal answer to Jackson’s 2014 lawsuit alleging assault, battery, invasion of privacy and defamation.

Jackson and Mayweather had an 8-year romantic relationship and lived together from 2008 through 2013, the boxer’s new paperwork filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court states. Mayweather claims Jackson gained his confidence during that time and learned intimate detail...

After Jude by Dashia. Page 2

I was cooking when he came into the kitchen. I liked it when he was around, Jude had a way of making me smile, I didn't know how he did it but he always made me smile. I was preparing rice and stew, he had said he didn't want something much so he wouldn't have to waste it. I on the other hand, had wanted making it a party for both of us... well, a farewell party for the now, he was done with school and was going to serve. I was proud of him, I wanted to celebrate it but he said no. He didn't mind celebrating it but he wanted celebrating it with just me. After I had come over, we had gone to his family house. His parents and immediate younger sister were home. She'd helped put some of his stuff together while I helped mumsy in the kitchen. His family was my family, I'd had a hard time blending in, but once I got the heat of everything, they became family, I became family. They had wanted us to stay for supper, I had turned down the offer, my excuse being that...
