50 Cent is facing legal action for allegedly sharing a revenge porn video of Love & Hip Hop:Hollywood star Teairra Mari
50 Cent seems to be in a mess and is facing legal action for allegedly sharing a revenge porn video of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star Teairra Mari.
According to Mari and a news release from attorney Lisa Bloom, her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul Ahad used her Instagram password and went on to post sexually explicit pictures of her on her account. The reality star thinks that this was done in order to "publicly humiliate" her after they had broken up.
Rapper 50 Cent and Akbar Abdul Ahad are friends and allegedly reposted one of the images of her on his account with the caption, "get the strap." 50 Cent did not hesitate to get himself involved in the matter and posted the image.
Bloom is said to be holding a conference with attorney Walter Mosley to discuss the legal action to be taken against 50 Cent and Akbar Abdul Ahad. 50 Cent decided to respond to Lisa's announcement with a picture of himself along with Lisa's mother, Gloria Allred. "Oh Lisa stop, don’t make me tell your mom," he captioned the picture.
If that was not enough, 50 Cent went on to post a condescending post in response to the conference and added that he had been "pulled into a reality show’s story line."
The incident took place a week ago, when the Love & Hip Hop star broke up with Abdul Ahad claiming that he was cheating on her. She believes that he posted the images in retaliation for the split. At the conference, Mari said, "He had my Instagram password, so he posted them on my Instagram to make me look terrible. Of course, I was horrified."
She also added that 50 Cent had re-posted an image on his personal account which has over 18 million followers. The image was eventually taken down, but Mari says that the damage had already been done. "Even after Instagram took the picture down, he had no remorse, no regard, and he posted another photo and complained that IG was censoring him," she said.
On May 9, the 'Get Rich or Die Trying' star, 50 Cent claimed that he was planning to quit Instagram over their censorship policy. He posted a picture of himself holding what appears to be a glass of rose' with the caption, "I’m leaving IG, I’m going back to Twitter. They take s— down off my page without notifying me. #censorthesenuts."
Mari continued to outline her case at the conference and her reasons for taking a public stand. "I stand here in the pursuit of justice, not just for myself but for any other woman who has been exploited by a man, who has felt the pain of having her most intimate moments unjustly and illegally exposed to the public," she said.
Mari's attorney, Lisa Bloom revealed that she had planned to file a police report as well as a lawsuit against both Abdul Ahad and the rapper on that same day. "Apparently, 50 Cent’s misogyny and ego is so inflated that he still needs to be schooled that the law applies to him, just like everyone else," she said at the conference.
Last year, the rapper found himself in the midst of another controversy. He had been accused of being sexist after he posted a series of racy photos on his Instagram account. In one of the photos, 50 Cent posted, a woman was captured wearing a bikini with a thought bubble that said: “Thank you very much for the apartment, the jewelry, the money. What could I do without you?” In the caption, 50 also left some advice for women who weren’t appreciative of what they have. “Take time out to reflect and appreciate the good things in life. You would not be here with out one,” he wrote.
When called out for his actions, the rapper wrote back to his critic: “Shut up, b***h. I’m different.
