50 Cent's attorney claims the lawsuit is "nothing more than a stunt to garner media attention and damage Mr. Jackson’s reputation."

50 Cent has all the smoke for a former employee who wants to take him to court. If you recall, a former G-Unit executive named Monique Mayers filed a lawsuit against the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ rapper on claims of years of harassment. The suit details a campaign of intimidation and retaliation after she left her executive position with Fif back in 2019. However, Fif is now firing back at Mayers over the claims in a new settlement issued by his lawyer, Reena Jain, who claims that she “has not been formally served with any pleadings, nor have his representatives been contacted by opposing counsel regarding this matter.”

Jain’s statement suggests that the lawsuit is “nothing more than a stunt to garner media attention and damage Mr. Jackson’s reputation.” It also accused Mayers of being a “disgruntled employee” who is trying to “use the guise of a legal proceeding to seek an unjustified payday well outside of the applicable Statute of Limitations.” Furthermore, they accuse Mayers of hiring the same counsel as Shaniqua Thompkins, who is suing 50 Cent in a separate lawsuit. “This connection further underscores the retaliatory and opportunistic nature of this filing,” the statement reads.

“Furthermore, Mr. Jackson takes any and all threats to himself, his current and former employees, and any witnesses incredibly seriously,” it continues. “Contrary to the false narratives being peddled in this complaint, when these alleged threats were brought to light, Mr. Jackson’s legal counsel actively encouraged Ms. Mayers to go to the authorities.  Moreover, Mr. Jackson’s counsel proactively reported these alleged threats to law enforcement as well to ensure they were thoroughly investigated. We look forward to vigorously defending against these false claims in a court of law and anticipate a swift dismissal of this frivolous lawsuit.”

50 Cent Fires Back

The complaint filed by Mayers details “a pattern of conduct designed to intimidate, punish, and silence those who refuse to comply with Jackson's demands.” In one instance, she claims that Fif tried to make her file a fake police report against his driver on the claim that he stole cash and took one of his cars without permission. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding this lawsuit against 50 Cent.
