50 Cent Sues His Lawyers For $75 Million

50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against the law firm Garvey Schubert Barer because he feels like they poorly represented him in his case against Sleek Audio, Business Insider reports.

Fif filed the case in Connecticut bankruptcy court on Oct. 6th and is asking for a whopping $75 million. According to documents, the Queens rapper says that the Wall Street law firm did not “employ the requisite knowledge and skill necessary to confront the circumstances of the case.”
In 2010, 50 Cent teamed up with Sleek Audio to launch his own brand of headphones, “Sleek by 50.” When Sleek missed their launch deadline and the headphones didn’t hit the market, 50 went on to start his own headphone company, SMS Audio. In the court documents, the Power producer claims that his lawyers advised him that he would not be infringing on any intellectual rights and that Sleek Audio could not have a case against him. They were wrong.

Sleek Audio later filed a lawsuit against 50 claiming that he misappropriated trade secrets to sell his SMS Audio headphones. They ended up winning and the judge ruled that 50 had to pay them $11 million along with another $5 million for attorney’s fees.

Losing the case reportedly played a role in Fiddy filing for bankruptcy due to the expensive legal fees. A judge also ruled that he pay Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend $5 million after it was ruled that he published her sex tape on the internet with malicious intent.

Ohio Man Who Called Cops To Say He Was “Too High” Found In Pile Of Doritos And Cookies

Man Who Called Police Because He Was High Found In Pile Of Junk Food An Ohio man made an odd, and not-so-wise call to police last week to tell them that he was “too high” on kush, according to the Huffington Post.

Via My Fox 8:

Police arrived at the 22-year-old man’s home at approximately 5:20 p.m.
There, they found him on the floor “in a fetal position,” surrounded by, “a plethora of Doritos, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish and Chips Ahoy cookies.”

According to a police report, the man told the officer that he couldn’t feel his hands because he smoked too much weed.

The 22-year-old gave the officer the keys to his car, where he had smoked the pot. The cop recovered a glass pipe, rolling papers, roaches and a glass jar of marijuana.

According to the police report, charges are pending for drug possession and drug paraphernalia.
