50 Cent Files Suit!!!

Hip-hop star 50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against internet advertising company Traffix Inc. for illegally using his image in a game about the rapper. 'Shoot The Rapper' invites users to gun down a '50 Cent character' who walks back and forth across a small advertisement at the top of a webpage. By clicking on the game, the user is brought to Traffix Inc's client's retail website. 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, filed the suit in a New York court on Friday and is seeking $1 million in damages and a ban on his likeness being used in the game. His lawyer Peter Raymond notes the company does not use 50 Cent's name, but adds, "It looks like him, and there's no doubt the character is intended to be him… he is personally offended."

In Related News: Rapper 50 Cent's close relationship with pal Dr. Dre has weakened since the producer started working with his former bandmate The Game. The Game and 50 Cent fell out in early 2005 which lead to the former's departure from G-Unit. Dr. Dre - who has produced tracks on all of 50 Cent's studio albums - also works with The Game and refuses to get involved in the rappers' feud. 50 Cent says, "I'm not even sure he knows (how it affect our relationship). He might read this and be surprised that I said it. "But Dre didn't voice his opinion knowing I gave Game everything that made him what he is. And that didn't matter. It shouldn't matter that he gave me "In Da Club." He brought something creatively to the table that helped spawn my entire career and I respect him for it.
