A Lawsuit With An Ape
G-Unit frontman 50 Cent’s dislike of Taco Bell entered a new phase with a new lawsuit against the fast food giant. According to Reuters, the suit was filed Wednesday (July 23) in Manhattan federal court.
In June, the Mexican-style fast food chain sent what the suit called a disseminating letter to the rapper, asking him to help promote its Hip-Hop-themed “79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More” ad campaign by changing his name to “79 Cent,” “89 Cent” or “99 Cent.”
Mr. Cent does claim he wasn’t told about the ad until he heard about it in the news — whereupon he totally disavowed it.
This lawsuit is kind of simple and dumb, but the ape may win. This is America, when a person has money anything goes.
