Confused, well you won’t be in a minute, see, 50 Cent Files Lawsuit Over Reality TV Pitch that 50 Cent dubs “highly offensive” after learning what the reality TV project was about.
CelebNMusic247.com has this report:
Hip Hop mogul, 50 Cent was reportedly down with a new reality TV project that a former business associate pitched to E!, but when he learned out what the series was about The G-Unit leader flipped the script.
The In Da Club hit maker claims he hired Andrew Jameson for $270,000 to set up various business and TV deals for him, but after his contract expired, he allegedly pitched a new reality project to bosses at America’s E! network about a “young white girl” working at 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records.
He reportedly signed a deal with E! chiefs on 50 Cent’s behalf for The Unit, but when the rapper found out, he blasted the idea as “highly offensive”.

He then had to back out of the deal with E!, which he claims “severely damaged” his relationship with the network’s parent company, NBC Universal.
50 Cent, who is currently embroiled in his own bankruptcy proceedings, is now demanding Jameson pay him damages of more than $800,000 for the mess.
However, Jameson’s lawyer, Eric George, has blasted the allegations.
George quips to TMZ.com, “His claims aren’t worth 50 cents. In fact, Andrew is the one owed money – several months of unpaid salary… and he’s in arbitration to get it.”
50 Cent filed for bankruptcy in July.
