50 Cent is suing Garvey Schubert Barer, saying that the law firm poorly represented him in his case against Sleek Audio, Business Insider reports.
The Rap mogul filed his case yesterday (October 6) and is seeking $75 million in damages from the firm after he says they assured him that he would not face legal action from Sleek Audio.
After his business deal with the headphone company fell through, 50 Cent then founded SMS Audio. Sleek sued the rapper for copying the initial design he created with them and for exposing trade secrets. The company was awarded $16 million in damages and fees.
“Among GSB’s numerous failures was its inexplicable decision not to call technical and damages experts to rebut expert testimony offered by Sleek — failures relied upon by the arbitrator in crediting Sleek’s experts and entering an eight-figure award in Sleek’s favor,” the complaint reads.
50 Cent filed for bankruptcy in July, citing the judgement levied against him in the Sleek case and debt from creditors as reasons for legal reorganization of his finances.
50 Cent’s bankruptcy lawyer, Craig Weiner, says that the rapper went to court after trying to settle the matter with the firm.
Garvey Schubert Barer issued a statement regarding the case.
“We understand that Mr. Jackson is disappointed in the outcome of Sleek Audio’s arbitration against him,” it reads. “However, Mr. Jackson’s complaint against GSB omits a number of relevant facts and misstates a number of others, and we will respond to the allegations in accordance with the court’s rules. Our attorneys properly counseled Mr. Jackson and his sophisticated team of financial and operational advisors about the transactions and the arbitrations with Sleek. Unfortunately, the arbitrator in the Sleek case found Mr. Jackson responsible for his actions and the actions of those who performed services for him or his companies. We look forward to demonstrating that our attorneys handled the Sleek matters appropriately in all aspects.”

Get rich or file for bankruptcy lmao this fool’s career dead and buried
what you broke people don’t understand is that 50 is rich and when rich people are sued lawyers draw it out for more money and more money and promise a deal that they know they won’t deliver in order to get more money out of the rich so they become rich. 9 times out 10 that is what happens to rich people you don’t think the lawyers jack up the price on celebs? you are just dumb to the facts if so….
Lol NIGGA YOU BROKE TOO WTF
I GUESS YOU RICH RIGHT ? LMFAO,
50 BROKE NOW AF
the people seem to not like 50 that much. Alot of bad press lately
fiddy snitch stay losing
Don’t under-estimate 50 man, this guy is a genius. Did the lawyers screw him over? 100%
A genius hahahah along with Kanye right?? Fucking idiot, 50 is an idiot that got lucky with Vitamin water..the fuck’s he done since? The majority of people he’s done business with have successfully sued the washed up clown but that’s all his lawyers fault right? He’s gonna lose this case along with everything else
You come across as a disgruntal groupy. like a straight up female..He got lucky from vitamin water or he haven’t done anything relevant? I guess you bare too broke to afford cable. The hate in your heard makes you behave like a female. Anyone who this guy broke is broke. He is nowhere near broke. Only homosexuals hate. I wish I could slap you.
I love 50 but karma is a bitch homie is the best example of that shit
Couldn’t have said it better, just what was on my mind
50 is smart . I wouldnt doubt this dude got sumthing up his sleeve . He comin bak for thT money
I see lots of officer ricky fans…guessing white boys 13-16 years of age?
MMG supporters unite! Our boss Rozay is our god. i luh this maybach music!
People who 50 is smart are stupid as fuck, that nigga capitalized of Dr Dre and Eminem’s popularity, got lucky with vitamin water and he has been on a free fall ever since after making bad decisions after more bad decisions. Fity lets his emotions cloud his judgements and that my friend is not very smart when it comes to business. 50 is losing all his money fast and might go broke for his standards I mean Rick Ross is now officially richer than fity, The Game is richer than 50 and 50 ain’t got Eminem now to bail him out lmao just sad.
You the stupid one if u think he’s broke lol stupid af fr
Real shit.
Dudes crazy if you think this man is BROKE !!
Ross said it best tho, would Jay Z have filed for bankruptcy? Would Dr.Dre or Diddy have filed? No, that’s because they can afford to pay off their L’s
