50 Cent Ups the Ante

Rapper 50 Cent has decided to go after dollars, suing three video production companies for allegedly using footage from an interview without honoring an agreement to make a charitable donation.

The 28-year-old, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, alleges that he agreed to an interview with Czar Entertainment about Kelvin Martin , a 1980s criminal who went by the street name 50 Cent. He says the free interview was to be used for a video series called "Infamous Times." In return, the company agreed to donate money to Martin's family or to 50 Cent's charity, the G-Unity Foundation, according to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court.

But the lawsuit contends that Czar Entertainment instead used the footage for a DVD called "The Original 50 Cent: The True Story of the Legend Who Inspired the Biggest Name in Rap."

Representatives at Czar Entertainment couldn't be reached yesterday.

50 Cent wants Czar Entertainment and co-defendants Vision Plant Pictures and Premo Pictures barred from selling the DVD. The lawsuit also seeks unspecified damages and any profits from the video.
