Uh-Oh! 50 Cent Sues Taco Bell for $4 Million
Thursday July 24, 2008
50 Cent is usually on the defensive end of lawsuits, but this time it's Fif who's doing the suing. In a federal lawsuit filed yesterday, 50 claims that the fast food chain stole his identity for an advertising campaign. The ad in question featured 50 being encouraged to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or even 99 Cent for a day, as part of a promotional campaign for Taco Bell.
50 Cent claims the fast food chain is "diluting the value of his good name." I wonder how many fans agree with that. But hey, I better keep my mouth shut before Big Bad Fif sues me for diluting the value of a good name.

it’s funny cause taco bell kinda planted the seed, they were the one suggesting he raise his value, now he’s doing it by suing them.
Taco Bell’s name and brand is worth FAR more than 50 Cent’s name and brand. Shooooot why does he even care, dude’s got vitamin water money.
50 is just suing to get money, because he’s mad that T.O.S. flopped.
he sucks and always had!
