just ridiculous? 50 Cent a lawsuit against Taco Bell yesterday for using his name and likeness without permission. Mr. Jackson claims trademark dilution, false designation of sponsorship, unjust enrichment and a violation of his civil rights, among other claims. He's seeking $4 million in damages.
Taco Bell, which recently launched a value menu, has been reaching out to rap audiences. In a letter addressed to 50 Cent -- which Mr. Jackson claims was first sent to the press -- Taco Bell invited him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent, after the prices on the new menu. As part of the stunt, Taco Bell suggested that he appear at a location, rap his order and sign off with one of the "names."
The first sentance is suppose to be '50 Cent filed a lawsuit'*
I agree that they didn't have the right to use his name, but sueing for $4 million is a little EXTREME!!!
