Rapper Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent is in trouble with the law again. But this time it’s serious. A writer named Larry Johnson recently came forward with claims that he wrote a manuscript, “Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid,” and in 2005, sent it to Nikki Turner, who works for 50 at G-Unit Books. He says the book was eventually published elsewhere, but believes Nikki showed the manuscript to 50.

Johnson states the TV show that we are all familiar with is close to the manuscript including personalities, character traits and owning a popular nightclub.
Johnson is now suing 50 claiming the show is based on a manuscript he wrote titled Tribulation of a Ghetto Kid. Johnson is looking for $200 million to make things right.
But we will see if 50 cent will pay the amount since he filed for bankruptcy almost two months ago.
