The Manhattan Supreme Court has ordered 50 Cent to pay
Lavonia Leviston, Rick Ross' baby mama, $5 million in
damages for uploading her sex tape to the internet in 2009.
According to reports, $2.5 million of the sum is for
"violating her civil rights for using her image without her
permission," and the other $2.5 million is for "intentional
infliction of emotional distress." Leviston's lawyer originally
sought $20 million total in damages.
50 was absent during the court proceedings, not attending
to testify nor hear the verdict. He has denied publishing the
tape online, though it undeniably features 50 Cent in his
"Pimpin' Curly" outfit providing commentary from start to
finish.
