50 Cent has won a massive $1 billion lawsuit filed by former drug kingpin Cory "Ghost" Holland Sr., who accused the rapper and co-creator of the hit show Power of stealing his life story.


The legal battle, which also involved co-creator Courtney Kemp, STARZ, and Lionsgate, concluded with Judge Analisa Torres ruling in favor of 50 Cent, finding that the show did not directly reference Holland.
In his typical style, 50 Cent took to Instagram to celebrate the victory. He posted a screenshot of the headline announcing the court decision, adding a playful caption:
''Fool thought he was Ghost 😆 da fvck wrong wit these 🥷's man 🤨 LOL.''

The rapper's light-hearted response continued his trend of humorously addressing serious matters on social media.
The lawsuit, originally filed in 2021, claimed that Holland's life story was used without permission.
Holland alleged that he had met Kemp's father in the early 1990s to discuss his life as he tried to exit the drug trade. He further claimed to have sent a CD in 2007 containing an autobiographical song that mirrored the plot of Power.
Holland insisted that over 200 scenes in the series were based on his experiences.
Despite these assertions, 50 Cent's lawyer, Joanna Hill, argued that the case lacked any defamatory statements connected to Holland in the fictional series.
Hill stated,
''[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.''

With the lawsuit dismissed, 50 Cent continues to celebrate his legal win, adding another chapter to his public persona as both a successful artist and savvy businessman.
