by The tension between Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred has taken a new twist, with 50 Cent slamming the civil rights litigator as an “ambulance chaser” on social media. The rapper and entrepreneur, known for his sharp tongue and sharper business acumen, is now battling allegations that he orchestrated an assault on a photographer, Guadalupe De Los Santos, in an incident involving a car door and a scooter.
In a series of Instagram posts on Monday, January 27, 50 Cent didn’t hold back, resurrecting a beef that seems to date back years. Sharing an image of himself alongside Allred, likely from their time working together on the reality TV series Dream School, he wrote, “The moment I realized I don’t like lawyers, Gloria you should know better, chase a different ambulance.” He didn’t stop there. In another post, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ artist fired off: “Gloria you’re not gonna get any money from me that way, but if you call me I’ll take you to dinner. LOL.”
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by Allred on behalf of De Los Santos, alleges that the photographer was injured after 50’s car door was intentionally opened while De Los Santos was riding a scooter following a book signing event last September. De Los Santos claims the incident left him injured and his scooter damaged, and he alleges that 50 ordered someone to open the door.
50’s attorney, however, has outright dismissed the lawsuit as frivolous. Speaking to TMZ, the lawyer stated, “Mr. Jackson has neither been served with or seen a filed copy of a lawsuit filed by Ms. Allred’s firm. However, if and when such a frivolous claim is filed and served, rest assured that Mr. Jackson’s legal team will swiftly move to dismiss the matter and seek the maximum costs, fees, sanctions and other remedies that are available under law.”
The legal drama has become even more heated with conflicting reports about the case’s origins. While 50’s team suggests the lawsuit was leaked for publicity, TMZ counters that the case was filed publicly in court on Monday.
This isn’t the first time 50 and Allred have crossed paths. The two were previously aligned on the reality series Dream School, where they sought to help at-risk youth. But despite their shared efforts on-screen, their professional camaraderie seems to have soured.
Allred, known for her advocacy on behalf of women’s rights and controversial clients, finds herself facing criticism not just from 50 Cent but from others questioning her motivations. Complicating her legacy are allegations that she played a role in suppressing the voices of Harvey Weinstein’s victims while her daughter, Lisa Bloom, worked as legal counsel for the disgraced movie mogul.
50’s attack on Allred is as much a performance as it is a defense. His public persona thrives on conflict, and his followers have rallied behind his mocking-like social media posts.
Allred has yet to respond to the public jabs from 50, but given her history, it’s likely the courtroom will be her stage for retaliation. As this legal showdown unfolds, the only certainty is that both sides are ready to play hardball; one with sharp legal filings, the other with sharper Instagram captions.
For now, the urban streets of social media are ablaze with reactions, with 50’s fans ready to defend their mogul and Allred’s critics ready to dissect her every move. This may be just another day in the courtroom for Allred, but for 50 Cent, it’s another opportunity to prove he’s untouchable.
