50 Cent only wants to pay $1.6M in sex tape case
Rapper 50 Cent is asking a judge for a major discount on a $7 million jury verdict awarded to a Florida woman after he posted her private sex tape online.
The rapper — who claims he’s bankrupt even as he posts Instagram photos of stacks of cash in his fridge — wants to pay Lastonia Leviston only $1.6 million.
But attorneys for Leviston told Justice Paul Wooten that Fitty should pay out the whole amount.
“Never in the history of this state, or this country, has a celebrity unleashed such a malicious and humiliating campaign against a private citizen,” said Leviston attorney Brian Isaac.
Isaac also shunned the rapper’s poverty claim, noting that he declared bankruptcy and then went on Conan O’Brien’s talk show boasting that he bet $1.6 million on Floyd Mayweather’s winning bout and also “made it rain,” throwing wads of cash up in the air at a strip club.
"Invest in the brand!"
