In a recent development, rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent has agreed to a settlement in a lawsuit he had filed against a Miami medical spa.
The lawsuit alleged that the plastic surgeon and her business had used a photo of him to advertise their products and services, falsely implying that he had undergone a p@nis enlargement procedure at the spa.
The photo in question was taken during the rapper’s visit to Miami in February 2020, where he claims to have taken the picture with the impression that the plastic surgeon was just a fan.
He insists that he has never undergone any type of procedure at the MedSpa, including penis enlargement.
In response to the lawsuit, both parties have now agreed to settle the matter out of court.
Court documents filed on March 24, 2023, state that both 50 Cent and the plastic surgeon, Angela Kogan, have “reached an agreement in principle to settle Mr. Jackson’s claims” and are “in the process of preparing an agreement to finalize and memorialize” the deal.
This settlement brings an end to what was becoming a long-standing legal battle between the rapper and the medical spa.
While the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, it is expected that 50 Cent will receive some form of compensation from the medical spa.
This case highlights the growing trend of celebrities taking legal action against companies for unauthorized use of their images or likeness in advertising.
With social media and other digital platforms making it easier for companies to reach a wider audience, it is important for individuals to protect their image rights.
Overall, this settlement marks the end of a legal dispute that had garnered significant media attention.
While it remains unclear how much 50 Cent will receive in compensation, this case serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting one’s image rights and the potential legal repercussions of unauthorized use of a celebrity’s likeness.
