50 Cent Is Getting Sued For Stealing A Movie Idea
A lawsuit has been filed against 50 Cent by Shadrach Winstead alleging that the rapper stole the plot for his self-directed Before I Self Destruct from Winstead's novel The Preachers Son — But The Streets Turned Me Into A Gangster. While by all accounts garnering the credit for Before I Self Destruct a dubious distinction at best, there are obviously financial issues at stake.
Hopefully -- for all our sakes -- this experience will be enough to sour 50 at ever trying his hand at "filmmaking" again. [Vulture]
