50 Cent Settles His Taco Bell Lawsuit
50 Cent finally settled his lawsuit against Taco Bell out of court yesterday for an undisclosed sum.
The rapper originally sued the chain in July, 2008 for $1 million for using his name in their 79-89-99 Cent Why Pay More ads without his permission. According to him, Taco Bell offered to make a $10,000 donation to his charity of choice if he would agree to change the number in his name for one day as part of a publicity stunt. He was also allegedly asked to rap his order at a drive-thru window using his new name. When he refused, 50 claimed that the company went ahead anyways, and suggested that he was endorsing their chain.
It was not made public how much 50 got from the suit, but according to his lawyer, “both parties are satisfied” with the results.
