You Better Pay 50 Cent, Or Your Butt Is Going to Court......
Rapper 50 Cent - pronounced Fitty Cent - is pretty serious about getting paid. I wonder how much he got for doing that Vitamin Water commercial, because he's suing Taco Bell for $4 Million just for using his name in a print ad.
Yep, Taco Bell , trying to promote it's new value menu, asked 50 Cent to change his name to 79-89 or 99 Cent, and rap an order, and they would donate $10,000 to a local charity. Of course, they never seriously asked 50 Cent or his reps to do it. It all sounds pretty ridiculous, and that may be Taco Bell's out. Making the ad that goofy does possibly qualify it for being a parody ad that no one would really think 50 Cent would take part in. If everyone could sue for a parody ad, then George Bush and Elvis Presley could sue everyone....
But, my guess is that 50 Cent's people can smell an easy settlement here for a few hundred thousand dollars in a nice, quiet atmosphere. Such is the world......
