A man suing 50 Cent and fellow Power executive producer Courtney Kemp for $1 billion reportedly isn’t backing down. Corey “Ghost” Holland filed a lawsuit in April that alleges 50 Cent and Kemp stole the concept for Power from the former drug kingpin’s actual life to create the popular STARZ series.
According to AllHipHop, Holland’s relationship with Kemp’s father stretches back to the 1990s. The two remained in touch until 2007 when Holland allegedly mailed a CD he made for at-risk youth to Kemp’s father, which included a cautionary tale about his own life as a drug dealer.
Holland claims Power producers have based at least 200 scenes on his life and now, he believes his life is in danger.
Last week, Holland reportedly filed court documents to “legally protect his interests and his family and his legal justification if violence becomes necessary to protect him or his family.”

He says 50 Cent’s associates have been making threats on his life and “bullying” him. The motion states 50 Cent has thrown “a lot of subliminal shots” at Holland in the five months since he filed the lawsuit.
“[Holland] wants to address this matter now and hopefully have it ceased before someone loses their life,” it reads. “[Holland] wants to keep this fight in the court, but is not afraid in [any] kind of way of other kind of confrontation with anyone.”
Although a judge has yet to make an official decision, it’s highly probable the entire case will be thrown out.
50 Cent hasn’t addressed the case publicly and instead, is focused on his Power spin-off series Raising Kanan and forthcoming Black Mafia Family series, which premiers on September 26.
So 50 clowns Jimmy Henchman for being a extortionist and hitman but 50 helps get him locked up, laughs at him, then become just like him….. WAIT…. didn’t he do the same thing with Ja Rule and Murder Inc?
There is the play by play of a human being, how they operate and function in life.
Henchman was under investigation for forever. Murder Inc was stupud for running with street dudes knowing they’re not built like that. When you associate with certain types of people indictments will come.
If you ain’t built for it stay away from it, don’t claim to be what you’re not!
*Farts*
Convicted drug dealers have no legal copyrights to the life they renounced after a conviction. Even his victims stand a better chance of getting a cut in 50’s profits than he does.
Yep. Drug Kingpins are considered public figures so their story is fair game. This is why John Singleton was able to steal Snowfall without paying Ricky Ross.
That’s so fucked up I didn’t know that I don’t think 50’s power has anything to do with this dude but Snowfall is fucked up not giving no money to Ricky Ross
he a pingkin
Rick Ross can’t sue he didn’t start the damn crack era and that’s what snowfall is about,sometimes silence is they best option.
I know the real Rick Ross was upset about the rapper Rick Ross using his name and life as his own in the entertainment business and if I’m not mistaking he may have tried to sue him too I can’t really remember that part.
Yep just looked it up. Real Rick Ross sued rapper Rick Ross for using his name.
