A German promotional company is calling bull-schnitzel on 50 Cent's agents -- claiming the William Morris Endeavor agency charged them $125,000 to negotiate for a concert that never happened.
Ze company, Major Movez, claims all they wanted to do was talk with Fiddy's peeps about ze possibility of booking ze rapper for a concert in Graz, Austria in ze summer of 2009.
But according to ze lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, WME claimed it would cost ze German's $125k for ze opportunity to negotiate -- with no promise of a deal -- and if the deal fell through, "WME would return the entire amount."
Ze Germans claim they ponied up -- but when ze deal eventually crumbled, they never got their $125,000 back.
Now they're taking WME to court, where they are demanding ze swift return of their Deutsche Marks.

Detectives want to question Busta Rhymes about the fatal shooting of the rapper's bodyguard outside a Brooklyn warehouse where a star-studded video was being taped, officials said Monday.
Rhymes was among several potential witnesses who left the scene of the slaying early Sunday before police arrived, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters at police headquarters.
"We believe Busta Rhymes may have been on the street when the shooting took place," Kelly said.
A spokesman for Rhymes, Greg Miller, declined comment.
Police planned to seek a court order to obtain video shot inside the warehouse, believing it might provide clues about what sparked the shooting.
"Obviously, we're very much interested in the filming that went on," Kelly said. "So all of that film with be examined with a subpoena."
