50 Cent Sued -- Go Shorty, It's Your Payday!

Posted Apr 9th 2008 9:17AM by TMZ Staff

50 Cent 50 Cent and protégé Tony Yayo have been sued for an assault that took place last year -- even though Fitty wasn't even in the city during the incident and Yayo was exonerated of assault charges in court. Say wha?

Here's the deal -- the mother of the victim, James Rosemond, named Fiddy in the lawsuit she filed in New York because she claims the leader of the G-Unit is responsible for the actions of the rappers on his label. Rosemond's mother, Cynthia, claims the group had a vendetta against her kid's dad, who runs a rival record label.

Mr. Cent's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, told the New York Daily News that the woman's looking for a "quick payday." Cynthia claims she's just looking for an apology. You buyin' it?

Actually, little Jamie Lynn Spears will probably have to sue him also after the baby's born for not paying his child support

5. Some people would say if you are the BOSS and your employee does something illegal and you do not release him from his duties then you are responsible.

I would like to see the court docs for this. If she is not asking for money then maybe she really just wants an apology.

6. I think this is ridiculous!! This lady most definitely wants a quick payday. Because these guys are on the same label, 50 Cent is not responsible for the actions of adults. 50 Cent wasn't in the same city and had no participation in whatever happened, and Tony Yayo was exonerated of the charges. So on what grounds does this lady have reason to sue?
