Rapper 50 Cent wins $1 billion lawsuit filed against him after a local drug kingpin accuses him of stealing his life story for his popular Power series...
From All Hip Hop
The rap star defeated three legal actions brought against him by Cory “Ghost” Holland. In 2021, Holland filed a billion-dollar lawsuit against 50 Cent, Courtney Kemp, Starz and Lionsgate, asserting that Power unlawfully reflected his life without consent.
The Honorable Judge Analisa Torres sided with 50 and dismissed the claims in each case. In the first case, it was decided that the character “Ghost” in the show Power did not directly refer to Holland, as required for a defamation claim.
Despite similarities in family structure, the court found these to be mere coincidences. In the second lawsuit, Holland accused 50 Cent of sending goons to harass and threaten him.
He said 50 Cent showed up in his neighborhood with an entourage in a fleet of vans and SUVs, who went around the area looking for a man named “Ghost.”
In another incident, people associated with the rapper played a threatening song near his house, which Holland felt was an attempt to send a clear message to him.
The legal battle took a treacherous turn when Holland threatened violence against 50 Cent and his legal team.
The negligent supervision claim against Lionsgate and Starz was booted as Holland failed to demonstrate a duty of care owed to him by the companies. The cases have been closed and judgment has been entered in favor of 50 Cent.
The legal battle has ended, with 50 Cent prevailing against all of the claims brought against him by Cory “Ghost” Holland.

Fiddy for the win. He keeps making moves.
20 Years Ago, Nobody Could Have Convinced Me That 50Cent, Would Be One Of MY Favorite Celebrities... MORE POWER, TO THE POWER UNIVERSE!!! KEEP ROLLING THOSE SHOWS OUT 50!!!
Fofty got more enemies than friends and keeps one foot in the hood like some of his characters. Sometimes life imitates art so it'll be interesting to see how his plays out.
Who originally wrote this? 50 didn't win a billion dollar lawsuit but instead, a billion dollar lawsuit against him was dismissed.
Another one looking for a payday. That character could have been anyone in the street life. Our lives get played out in the same ole story, all the time.
50 cent brokered the deal with starz (I think) and he put up some money hence the title executive producer. He does jot write these shows! Power was not his idea! He saw something good and pushed it forward. He invested in this and it was a really good investment.
Congratulations, 50 Cent.
50 really did make power from that Man’s life. He shouldn’t brag because his day will be coming at him soon. He’s dirty.
