50 Cent may be facing yet another legal battle after a photographer named Guadalupe De Los Santos accused the rapper of hitting him with his SUV.
Per TMZ, the alleged victim attended Fif’s book signing at The Grove in Los Angeles on Sept. 11 to shoot footage of him. After the event, he was riding his scooter filming when the rapper allegedly pulled up next to him at a red light, “forcefully swung” his passenger door open which hit the man causing him to fall off the scooter. De Los Santos claims he hit the pavement, suffered “bodily injuries,” and now his scooter is damaged beyond repair.
He believes the door only opened to hit him and even accused the Power mogul of ordering someone in the SUV to hit the photographer.
50 Cent’s legal team told TMZ, “Mr. Jackson has neither been served with nor seen a filed copy of a lawsuit filed by Ms. Allred’s firm. However, if and when such a frivolous claim is filed and served, rest assured that Mr. Jackson’s legal team will swiftly move to dismiss the matter and seek the maximum costs, fees, sanctions and other remedies that are available under law.”
The rep added, “Based upon the leaked reports presumably by Ms. Allred, Mr. Jackson is not alleged to be the driver of the vehicle or even the individual who the Plaintiff paparazzi alleges opened the door as he charged a vehicle as it drove away from the bookstore.”
Despite claiming that the lawsuit was leaked, it was properly filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday (Jan. 27).
Gloria Allred is reportedly representing De Los Santos. This prompted 50 to respond to the lawsuit by sharing photos of him and Allred. He captioned them with: “The moment I realized I don’t like lawyers. Gloria you should know better, chase a different ambulance. Gloria you’re not gonna get any money from me that way, but if you call me I’ll take you to dinner.”
De Los Santos says his medical bills are increasing and his sustained injuries are causing him to miss work thus prompting him to go after 50 for damages.
