In a dramatic turn of events, rapper 50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, demanding $1 million in damages and seeking full custody of their child. This legal battle follows Joy’s accusation that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, raped her—a claim he vehemently denies.

The allegations surfaced last month when Joy publicly accused the rapper of sexual assault, sparking a media frenzy. Joy claimed that the assault occurred during their tumultuous relationship, which ended several years ago. Despite the gravity of the accusations, Jackson remained steadfast in his innocence, asserting that the allegations were baseless and an attempt to tarnish his reputation.

In response, Jackson’s legal team swiftly moved to file a defamation lawsuit, seeking $1 million in damages for the harm caused to his personal and professional life. The rapper argued that Joy’s accusations not only damaged his reputation but also impacted his business ventures and endorsements. Jackson’s attorney stated, “These false allegations have caused significant emotional and financial harm to Mr. Jackson. We intend to hold Ms. Joy accountable for her defamatory statements.”

Furthermore, Jackson is seeking full custody of their son, Sire, citing concerns over Joy’s mental stability and her ability to provide a safe environment for their child. The rapper expressed his determination to protect his son from the fallout of the public scandal.

The case has garnered widespread attention, highlighting the complexities and high stakes involved in celebrity legal disputes. As both parties prepare for what promises to be a contentious legal battle, the entertainment world watches closely, awaiting the outcome. Whether Jackson’s lawsuit will succeed in court remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: this high-profile case will continue to captivate the public’s attention.
