Judge Denies 50 Cent's Request to Throw Out Lawsuit Against Former Drug Dealer

According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop, a judge has denied 50 Cent's request to throw out a lawsuit accusing him of threatening and intimidating an ex-drug dealer named Cory "Ghost" Holland.

Holland previously sued 50 Cent in 2021, alleging that he used Holland's likeness without his permission for his STARZ show "Power." Now, Holland is accusing 50 Cent of attempting to orchestrate a hit on him, stating in the lawsuit, "It’s 50 Cent’s abilities to HIRE a HITMAN, due to a 150 Million Dollar Contract he secured through STARZ/LIONSGATE, that have created the FEAR and constant anxiety." 

Holland added, "[I] believe 50 Cent has some type of protection from the federal government, this has been mentioned by several people he has been involved with in VIOLENT situations. Rather it’s his own Child’s Mother or Former Music Executives like Chris and Irv Gotti, of MURDER INC RECORDS, 50 Cent has the ability to do things everyday people can’t."

While 50 Cent’s lawyers argued the lawsuit was "nothing more than an abuse of the judicial system and should not be allowed to proceed to discovery," the judge allowed the civil suit to move forward.
