Curtis Jackson has spent decades building empires – in music, television, and business.
Now, a woman who helped build those empires is taking him to court.
And for anyone who has followed 50 Cent’s story closely, the allegations carry a familiar and deeply troubling weight.
On April 30, 2026, a federal lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Monique Mayers, a former senior executive who spent twelve years working across 50 Cent’s business empire, including G-Unit Records, G-Unit Touring, G-Unit Film & Television, and Sire Spirits.
The complaint, filed by attorney Bennitta Joseph of Joseph & Norinsberg, is not a simple workplace dispute. It is a detailed account of coercion, retaliation, and what Mayers describes as a sustained, years-long campaign of terror against a woman who simply refused to break the law.
According to the lawsuit, Mayers was asked during 50 Cent’s bankruptcy proceedings to hide property in her own name to shield it from creditors. She refused. She was then allegedly pressured to file a false police report accusing his driver and bodyguard of stealing his car and $600,000 in cash. She refused that too. Two refusals. That, the lawsuit claims, was enough to make her an enemy.
What followed, she says, was immediate and ruthless. She was fired. A Forbes feature story that had been written about her was forcibly retracted. Then came the calls.
Between 2019 and April 2026, Mayers says she received more than 83 harassing phone calls and text messages originating from 25 different phone numbers.
The communications were relentless, often arriving in the predawn hours. One voicemail, cited in the complaint, played a message stating, “Bang bang, I shot you down.” That same pattern, the lawsuit alleges, repeated itself exactly one year later under nearly identical circumstances.
For anyone who knows 50 Cent’s history, the use of anonymous numbers and coordinated contact as a weapon of intimidation will not come as a surprise.
It is a tactic consistent with the persona he has cultivated for over two decades, a persona that his critics now argue has always had real and devastating consequences for real people.
