50 Cent can breathe a little easier now that model Sally Ferreira has dropped her $11 million lawsuit against the rapper after it was revealed that she sent photos of the two to a gossip site to boost her brand.
According to the New York Daily News, Ferreira was featured in 50 Cent's video "Big Rich Town" in 2011. After 50 posted a few photos of them from the shoot online, the model claims the rapper hinted that they were dating. The model then filed the million dollar suit since she believed the rapper hindered her future modeling gigs.
After the model filed the suit, 50 Cent posted a photo of the model with the caption, "WARNING: Do not attempt to work with this thirsty Video b****. She sent photos of the video shoot to Mediatakeout saying I'm in a relationship with her Cananyone say RESHOOT."
Last week, it was revealed that the model actually sent the photos to a reporter with ties to mediatakeout.com to post. Text messages between the two women were included in court documents with one messages allegedly read, "I need to market myself in the urban."
Ferreira and her lawyers haven't explained why the suit was dropped.
50 Cent's lawyer released a statement to reporters about the case.
"As Mr. Jackson always believed, the baseless claims asserted against him were not worth 50 cents, no less the $11 million originally sought by the plaintiff," he said.
