50 Cent’s Life Threatened By Former Drug Lord Currently Suing Rapper For $1 Billion
50 Cent‘s life has been threatened by a former drug kingpin who is currently suing the television producer for $1 billion.
Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr. filed the lawsuit against Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Courtney Kemp, Starz, and Lionsgate in 2021 for allegedly basing a majority of Power‘s premise around his life without his permission. Since, the former hustler claims the G-Unit boss has sent “goons” to harass him, as well as family members.
“If a motherf**ker gets killed because your motherf**king client threaten me and my family, file a motherf**king motion for that. I ain’t playing with your motherf**king client no more, next time he or anyone he sends pull up, f**k the litigation,” reads a statement from Holland to Jackson’s reps, obtained by AllHipHop. “50 Cent plays games with people’s lives, he humiliates people, he comes to their homes, then plays a victim. He constantly in somebody mess. Plaintiff has warned 50 Cent, he ain’t no entertainer.”

50 Cent’s legal reps have since responded, expressing their concern with the violent nature of the statement to Judge Analisa Torres.
“This language can only be understood as a threat of violence against Mr. Jackson and his counsel,” they informed the court. “We are also in the process of notifying the relevant local authorities.”
As for Holland, he insists that 50 has made attempts to intimidate him into dropping his suit, alleging he was threatened by the rapper’s henchman while at a gas station. He also claims he’s been forced to relocate his mother.
“Plaintiff had [to] up and move [his mother] from her state out of fear that 50 Cent was go harm her and me. Plaintiff try’s [sic] to protect himself and deal with the constant pressure and fear that is real,” a letter to the judge from Holland read.

Reps for 50 Cent have dismissed Holland’s claims of stealing his life story for Power, claiming all characters were fictional. Holland claims that the storylines were exact depictions of his life that stemmed from a series of recordings he’d done in 2007 to discourage at-risk youth from following in his footsteps, warning them about the dangers of street life.
“This is not one of those lawsuits from a deranged fan or some somebody trying capitalize off of someone else’s success,” Holland wrote within his original complaint. “This is about the actual theft of my life, and the damages that it has done, as well the profits that the defendants have made from the of stealing and telling my life story without my consent.”
