Judge Vanessa Bryant has dismissed a lawsuit brought forward by 50 Cent over a 2015 courtroom loss. In July 2015, 50 was ordered to pay Rick Ross $7 million after releasing Ross' sex tape on social media while the pair were beefing. 50 claimed that his loss, which caused him to file for bankruptcy, was due to deliberate negligence on the part of his legal team. According to 50, the legal team he fired in March 2015 was reluctant to go after Ross as they had previously represented him.
However, Bryant argued that 50 had been unable to prove or express exactly how these alleged "divided loyalties" caused him to lose the trial. “Without more, the court cannot conclude the conflict of interest impacted counsel’s discovery strategy, or that the conflict caused Jackson to lose at trial,” Bryant concluded while dismissing the case. The decision comes a few weeks after 50 pushed to dismiss bankruptcy claims from a former employee who admitted to stealing $7M from Sire Spirits. 50 had previously trolled the man on social media.
