50 Cent as again been slammed with another lawsuit by two men who are accusing him of
stealing their storyline for his popular TV drama, Power.
The
accusers, R. Byron Hord and Curtis Scoon, have
filed a new lawsuit that the pilot episode of a show titled ‘Dangerous’ was
originally pitched to 50 Cent in March 2011.
The
theme for Dangerous centered around a black drug dealer
attempting to turn his life around for the better, according to Page
Six.
A
statement issued by a CBS spokesperson over the matter reads, ‘We were
just made aware of this filing and we are looking into this matter. It is too
premature for comment at this time.’
If the
lawsuit is successful, 50 Cent and the two parent networks airing the series,
Starz and CBS face as much as $180,000 (N56m) in fines per episode.
50 Cent
was also sued last year by writer Larry Johnson who claimed
the rapper stole the concept for Power from his Tribulation
Of A Ghetto Kid manuscript.
