BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Federal court records show that rapper 50 Cent has been ordered to pay a Bradenton earphone manufacturer more than $16 million in connection with a failed partnership to produce the entertainer's line of headphones.
The Bradenton Heraldreports that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, was ordered to pay Sleek Audio nearly $4.5 million in attorney fees and $11.7 million in damages.
The U.S. District Court in Miami affirmed the award in late March after a three-year legal battle.
Records allege that Jackson, a Sleek partner, stole the designs of over-the-ear headphones he asked the company to conceptualize and manufacture. Jackson has been selling headphones of a similar design under the 50-Over line with another manufacturer.

he should know he's not Dre yet.
I feel he knew that might murk his career.
Then he said his name is back buzzing hasn't lost any street cred.
50 maybe looking at the long run if he don't feel it will help his brand he rather pay then be associated with that product.

That ? still hurts. That's 16 mil out of your pocket that could've changed a few lives on his end.

Them headphones don't look good at all. I don't see the point of spending so much on some damn headphones. Do they give you a money back guarantee?
