New York, NY – In a stunning legal victory, rapper and entrepreneur Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has emerged triumphant in a $1 billion lawsuit claiming the hit TV series Power was based on the life of a former drug kingpin.
Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr. had alleged that the show's characters and storylines were directly lifted from his life experiences, which he claimed to have detailed in a CD given to co-producer Courtney Kemp’s father in 2007. The lawsuit, filed in 2021, sought a staggering $1 billion in damages.
However, Judge Analisa Torres ruled in favor of 50 Cent and his team, dismissing all three cases brought against them. The judge found no evidence to support Holland’s claim that the show was based on his life.
The victory marks a significant win for 50 Cent, who has faced numerous legal battles throughout his career. The rapper took to social media to celebrate the outcome, posting a cheeky message mocking his opponent.
The Power franchise has been a massive success for 50 Cent, spawning multiple spin-offs and solidifying his position as a television mogul. This legal victory further cements his status in the entertainment industry.
As the case concludes, it serves as a reminder of the complexities of intellectual property law and the challenges faced by creators in protecting their original works.
