The deal will end a case in which the rapper claimed he’d been “exposed to ridicule” by the use of his image in misleading ways.
Curtis"50 Cent" Jackson attends the red carpet premiere of Starz"BMF" Season 2 at TCL Chinese Theatre on Jan. 5, 2023 in Hollywood, Calif.has reached a settlement to end a lawsuit in which he accused a Miami medical spa of falsely suggesting that he’d had penis surgery, according to court documents filed Friday .he’d “graciously agreed” to take with her to imply that he was a client — and, more startlingly, that he had received penile enhancement surgery as part of his work.
An attorney for 50 Cent did not immediately return a request for comment. A lawyer for Kogan declined to comment. 50 Cent sued Kogan in September, arguing that he took a photo with “someone he thought was a fan” and had “never consented” to the use of the image for commercial purposes in any form. He says Kogan not only posted the image to Instagram herself but also engineered an article on the websitethat used the post to make the “false insinuation” that she’d provided him with penile enhancement.
The article in question did not directly claim that Jackson had the surgery. But it allegedly said he was a “client” of the practice while repeatedly using the image of him with Kogan, leading Jackson’s lawyers to say the “implication was clear.”“Defendants’ actions have exposed Jackson to ridicule, caused substantial damage to his professional and personal reputation, and violated his right to control his name and image,” the star’s lawyers wrote at the time.
“As the proverbial saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words,” Scola wrote. “This one in particular depicts a worldwide celebrity next to Kogan with MedSpa’s name repeated all throughout the background. The promotional value is evident.”
