50 Cent Accused Of Intimidating Ex-Drug King Pin Over $1B ‘Power’ Lawsuit
50 Cent has been accused of intimidating an ex-drug kingpin over his $1 billion Power lawsuit. Back in 2021, Corey “Ghost” Holland Sr. filed a lawsuit against 50 for his successful Power television series over claims that it was based on his life. 50’s legal team at the time dismissed those claims saying, “[Holland] fails to state any claim upon which relief can be granted. More specifically, [Holland] fails to identify any defamatory statements made about him in connection with the fictional television series Power. He fails to allege that his name, portrait or picture was used in connection with Power, or that any such use was a prohibited advertising use.”
Now, according to AllHipHop, Holland claims that 50 showed up to his home twice in either July or August of 2021.

“A few days later 50 Cent shows up about a half mile from plaintiff home, and plaintiff sees the same truck that pulled into his driveway at the 50 Cent event,” the legal documents read. “So plaintiff realizes it was either defendant Jackson or his entourage who decided to ‘pull up.'”
“When you looking for a confrontation your honor, this is what people say, nowadays. Up to this point, plaintiff had ignored a lot of ‘subliminal attacks’ on him online, but now 50 Cent is bringing the drama right to plaintiff front yard.”
“So plaintiff responded to 50 Cent the way any normal person would respond to a possible threat, plaintiff prepared himself for whatever was go happen.”
Holland claimed that 50’s entourage was armed and the message was “clear” to him that 50 wanted to confront him.
“Plaintiff wanted to know why 50 Cent came to his home, but plaintiff couldn’t get past 50 Cent security,” the documents continued. “The men in the truck returned, repeated the same intimidation tactic and left, but this time they appeared to be armed.”
“So plaintiff family ARM themselves, cause defendant Jackson, came back to plaintiff neighborhood for a second time, but once again security protected him.”
“Plaintiff again tried to get to him and ask why is he coming to his home and neighborhood, but security prevented that, it’s clear your Honor, he was seeking a confrontation and came very close to getting what he came for.”
The last episode of Power aired in 2020 and because of that 50 Cent’s legal team says since Holland filed his lawsuit in April 2021, his claim is barred by the one-year statute of limitations under New York law.
