Earlier this week we reported that 50 Cent took to Instagram stating that he made money on a deal with Viacom and his catchphrase #GetTheStrap.
Continue on to see why 50 Cent is gearing up to SLAP HipHopDX with a lawsuit…
CelebNMusic247.com reported the news way before HHDX, but we didn’t twist it or make up a FAKE REPORT, this is why 50 Cent is going after HipHopDX.
On Tuesday night 50 Cent said on his Instagram stating:
I did a deal today I sold (get the strap) for a million dollars to Viacom’s Bellator. So you will see it on some cooler clothing shortly. ?see how I make something out of nothing. LOL
Shortly after the post, he said he was taking his grandfather on a getaway. Of course, the trolls starting questioning the Power creator, who is worth $20 million for 2018, if he was pulling a Bow Wow. 50 posted a video to prove he is not with blue and pink bills.
Well, HipHopDX caught wind of 50 Cent’s post a couple days after CelebNMusic247.com after 50 announced:
Bellator signed a 9 figure deal yesterday! Which means…DAZN deal = shoulder programming with @50cent ?get the strap
Here is where the site was wrong. 50 made a deal with Viacom Bellator which is NOT the same deal Bellator made with DAZN a London based sports streaming site.
CelebNSports247.com reported that The G Unit leader straight up said that Bellator deal with DAZN is NOT the same but they’d be “shoulder programming with @50cent.”
Anyways, 50 Cent has filed suit against HipHopDX for its post about Fiddy allegedly selling his catchphrase, “Get the strap.” The site claims that Fiddy is fake news. NOT TRUE. He made a deal with Viacom which is essentially Paramount Network which Bellator airs on. Bellator inked a deal with DAZN. that is why 50 said Bellator would be “shoulder programming with @50cent.”
He was upset that they didn’t do a fact check about anything and instead claimed his post was Fake News. In addition to that, the rapper’s real issue is with the photo the blog used.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ reported:
The pic showing 50 Cent with Bellator execs — was taken on June 25 by a guy named Christopher Conrad. 50 says Conrad gave him rights to the photo on June 28. His point … at no point did HipHopDX have rights to publish the pic.
The site posted an article on June 27, calling out 50 Cent for claiming he sold “Get the strap” to the MMA league for $1 million. That same day, 50 said:
This s**t is fake news Justin Ivey (the writer), you better go fact check. Matter of fact I’m gonna sue you and this website for using my picture.
Can’t say he doesn’t follow through. Get the strap!
