Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, is pushing back hard against a civil lawsuit brought by a woman who once held senior operational positions in his business empire.

In court filings, Jackson is asking a judge to throw out the case entirely, describing the claims as lacking solid evidence and labeling the entire matter a publicity-seeking effort rather than a legitimate legal dispute.

Monique Mayers worked for Jackson across various ventures for roughly 12 years, from around 2007 until her termination in 2019. According to her complaint, filed earlier this year in federal court, tensions escalated during the period surrounding Jackson’s bankruptcy proceedings.

She alleges that she was asked to take actions she viewed as unlawful, such as placing certain assets in her name to shield them and filing a false police report claiming that his driver had stolen a car along with a substantial amount of cash. Mayers says her refusal to go along with these requests led directly to her dismissal.

Following her exit from the company, Mayers claims she became the target of a prolonged campaign of harassment. This allegedly included repeated phone calls, text messages, and threatening communications intended to keep her silent about what she had witnessed.

She filed suit in April 2026, seeking damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy.

Jackson’s legal team has fired back strongly in response. In documents obtained by media outlets, they argue that Mayers has provided no concrete proof that he personally directed any intimidation or that he ever made calls or instructed others to contact her.

Instead, they suggest a simpler explanation: people who had long associated her phone number with Jackson were simply trying to reach him through familiar channels after years of her working in his inner circle.

The defense also highlights what it calls significant procedural weaknesses in the case. Attorneys point out that Mayers waited more than seven years after leaving her job to bring the lawsuit, potentially missing the applicable statute of limitations.

They further contend that details about the bankruptcy are irrelevant to her current claims and appear designed mainly to attract media attention rather than address genuine grievances.

In addition to seeking a full dismissal, Jackson is requesting that Mayers cover his legal fees, underscoring his team’s confidence that the allegations will not hold up in court.

This latest development adds to the hip-hop mogul’s history of high-profile legal battles, though his representatives continue to maintain that the claims are baseless and stem from a disgruntled ex-employee.

As the case proceeds, observers will be watching closely to see how the judge rules on the motion to dismiss. For now, 50 Cent appears determined to shut down the litigation before it advances further.
