Rapper 50 Cent win's $6.2M lawsuit from Former employees, Seizing all Assets
A court has ruled in favor of rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent in a lawsuit against his former employee, Mitchell Green, and now the rapper is collecting his funds.
The shamed former director of Brand Management for 50 Cent’s Sire Spirits had been secretly pocketing $2.2 million in kickbacks since 2018, but the scheme was exposed in 2020 after he was threatened with extortion.Green was fired and taken to court by the rap star’s company.
In October 2021, the court issued a final award of $6,194,293 in favor of Sire Spirits, including compensatory damages, pre-judgment interest, disgorged compensation and benefits, attorneys’ fees and costs, and arbitrator compensation.
Green tried to appeal the award lawsuit, but the court denied his request in June 2022. In November 2022, the court awarded an additional $89,305.50 in attorneys’ fees and costs to Sire Spirits.
