50 Cent
Rapper-50 Cent seems not to have faith in the US justice system as the rapper says he got SCREWED in court recently because the judge was a rap-hating RACIST. Since 50 thinks he was unfairly treated, he is seeking to have the allegedly bias ruling overturned,according to court docs.
TMZ Writes;
Earlier this year 50 and company called Sleek Audio were embroiled in a bitter lawsuit. 50 claimed Sleek owed him over $261,000. Sleek said otherwise. The case went to arbitration — a binding process in which an arbitrator picks the winner.
Bad news for 50, the arbitrator sided with Sleek (the final $$$ judgement was kept under wraps).
But 50 refuses to gently into that good night … and is taking the battle to federal court — claiming the arbitration judge discriminated against him because he’s black, associates with controversial African-American figures AND because he’s a high profile rap artist.Specifically … 50 says the bias ran so deep the judge didn’t allow him to cross-examine witnesses and refused to look at evidence pertaining to the case. Pretty bold claims.
He wants the award axed ASAP and is asking for a new hearing … where he says he’ll prove the judge was out to get him from the get go.
Sleek fired back too … claiming 50′s allegations of racism are a desperate attempt to avoid the arbitration decision and get it brought before an actual court.
