Cent Looses Lawsuit Filed By Photographer
(February 23rd)
50
Cent has been ordered to pay an undisclosed
amount after losing a lawsuit filed against
him by a photographer. Jim Alcorn, deputy
photo assignment editor for the New York
Post, filed the lawsuit against the Hip-Hop
star, real name Curtis Jackson, back in
August 2003 claiming he was knocked to
the ground by one of Jackson’s security
guards as they left a jewelry shop.
According to the New York Post 50 Cent
had just purchased a $18,000 watch from
Jacob The Jeweler. Although 50 Cent was
not accused of issuing the attack, it
was claimed he encouraged the other men
to physically attack Alcorn. Alcorn was
taken to hospital following the incident
where he was found to have neck and jaw
injuries.
"A settlement was reached and all
parties are satisfied," said Alcorn’s
lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein.
A spokesperson for the rapper simply stated,
"It’s a legal issue that’s
been settled."
