Taco Beef
Published Jul 26, 2008
From the magazine issue dated Aug 4, 2008
And you thought that Taco Bell gave you heartburn? Rapper 50 Cent is suing the fast-food chain for using his name without his permission in ads. The company said it would donate $10,000 to charity if for one day 50 Cent became 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent—the price of its tacos. But to 50, that figure was chump change. He wants $4 million in damages for "diluting the value of his good name." But they were making 50 more expensive!

Comment: 50 cent could have turned this into a positive thing to endource Taco Bell for more than what he seeks in damages. But NO the Hommy has to sue to get tax free money.......so what else is new

Comment: Diluting the value of his good name???!!! He made his good name off of rapping about killing and selling drugs! His good name is Curtis! What a whining beotch! He does not own the name or the amount; I guess 49 Cent and 51 Cent better be careful.
