50 Cent 11By Matthew Bridge

When he is at war, 50 Cent goes all out to destroy his opponent. This is exactly what 50 Cent promised Rick Ross when the Miami rapper began taking shots at him. Unlike prior 50 Cent beefs, Rick Ross ended up gaining popularity afterwards, while 50 saw his popularity dwindle.

But, this does not mean 50 Cent did not get good licks in during his back-and-forth with Rick Ross. A pivotal shot came when 50 Cent involved the mothers of Ross’ children. This included posting the sextape of Lastonia Levinston, one of his children’s mothers on his YouTube.

In 2010, Lastonia Levinston filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent for emotional distress. Most forgot about this beef, but it is coming back in a major way, five years later. Not only is the case still active, it is going to trial with jury selection set to begin on May 26.
