Update 12/02/2023 5:35pm:

Corey “Ghost” Holland previously filed a $300 million lawsuit against Lionsgate Entertainment, claiming that the company allowed 50 Cent to practice intimidation tactics against him. Before that, Holland filed a $1 billion lawsuit against 50 Cent, claiming the rapper and TV showrunner based the ‘Power’ series on his life. Now, 50 Cent has requested that the entire suit be dropped. 

50’s lawyers argue that Holland took too long to file the suit and also called out Holland’s claims about 50 pulling up on him. 50’s motion said, “Plaintiff’s claim that he suffered from severe emotional distress is undermined by the allegations that Plaintiff owns a weapon and he and his family repeatedly tried to confront Jackson.” The court filing continued saying, “The allegation that Jackson ‘actually came to plaintiff home and neighborhood’ and ‘pull[ed] up to plaintiff’s home’ does not constitute a claim for assault.”

As of now, Holland wants $300 million in damages for infliction of emotional distress and to prohibit Lionsgate Entertainment from using his life story in future projects.

In 2021, 50 Cent was hit with a lawsuit from a man named Cory “Ghost” Holland Sr, who says the rapper, along with showrunner Courtney Kemp based the hit show ‘Power’ on his life story. Now, it has been reported that 50 Cent is facing mediation in the lawsuit. 

Ahead of the mediation, 50 Cent’s legal team has been saying the statute of limitations in New York, which is one year, makes Holland’s lawsuit against the showrunner frail. Holland, who is reportedly representing himself, says he mailed a copy of his CD called ‘Blasphemy’ to Courtney Kemp’s father in 2007, with one of the songs laying out his time as a drug dealer-turned-drug lord according to court documents. 

Another detail that surfaced in court documents in February finds Holland claiming that 50 Cent came to his house twice in 2021 to try and confront him, saying the rapper was trying to spark a fight between them.

According to AllHipHop, the mediation is supposed to begin on May 9, 2023. Stay tuned for more updates.
