50 Cent faces a lawsuit over a mic-tossing incident during his Final Lap Tour, leaving the rapper in the midst of legal woes after injuring radio host, Bryhana Monegain.
Why Is 50 Cent Being Sued?
Sheesh! Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent, 48, finds himself entangled in a legal battle following an incident during his Final Lap Tour set at the Crypto.com Arena on August 3, 2023. While he managed to dodge a criminal charge for an altercation involving a malfunctioning microphone, the artist is far from out of the woods as radio host Bryhana Monegain steps up with a hefty lawsuit.
How did the lawsuit come about? The controversy began when 50 Cent, real name Curtis James Jackson III, was dissatisfied with his malfunctioning microphone. Taking matters into his own hands, instead of addressing the technical glitch, the circumstance took a perilous turn after the artist allegedly hurled the defective microphone into the crowd. Talk about having no chill, 50 Cent caught himself a case as a result.
What We Know: 50 Cent Lawsuit Details
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Bryhana Monegain, a Los Angeles-based radio host for Power 106, claims to be the unfortunate recipient of 50 Cent's mic-tossing antics. The suit contends that the projectile struck Monegain in the face and wrist, resulting in severe and permanent injuries. The specified injuries, which align with previous reports, include a concussion, a forehead laceration, and various bumps and bruises.
Despite returning to her afternoon radio slot, Monegain asserts that she continues to grapple with emotional distress stemming from the incident. In a bid for justice, she is seeking compensation for lost wages during her recovery, medical expenses, and additional damages. During the criminal investigation phase, 50 Cent, through his attorney, denied any intentional harm towards Monegain. However, with the criminal charge now cleared, a new legal battle emerges as the artist is yet to respond to the lawsuit.
No offence to the injured party, but 50 Cent survived after having 9-shots dumped into him. We think he'll manage to handle this but he's got to be careful in the future.
