50 Cent Sued For Posting Sex Tape During Rick Ross Beef

A Florida woman prominently featured in a homemade sex tape posted online by 50 Cent last year as part of his feud
with Rick Ross has sued 50 (born Curtis Jackson) in New York City,
claiming he unlawfully distributed the video over the Internet.

According to The Associated Press, Lastonia Leviston filed the lawsuit on Wednesday in Manhattan, claiming unauthorized use of her name or image and emotional distress caused by the public release
of a video she made with an unidentified man in 2008. In the tape,
Leviston is seen showing off a tattoo on her chest with the initials
"RR," seemingly in reference to Ross, and 50 is heard providing
exaggerated voice-over narration to the action in his wigged "Pimpin'
Curly" persona.

In the lawsuit, Leviston claims the rapper posted the video on ThisIs50.com last year, blurring out the face of the man in the tape but not hers, and that 50 edited himself into the video.

The New York Daily News reported that Leviston claims she asked the man in the tape, Maurice Murray, to destroy it. He agreed, but then allegedly either gave or sold it to 50. In addition to airing
on 50's site, the video made it onto YouTube and other video-sharing
sites and has been seen millions of times, the suit claims. Leviston
also claims that 50 spoke about the video on a radio program and
referred to her as a "call girl" in it.

A spokesperson for 50 could not be reached for comment at press time.

The release of the video was part of a long-running beef between 50 and Ross, which featured a number of dis-heavy mixtape songs, mocking animated videos and a clip in which 50
appeared with Tia Kemp, the mother of Ross' son, who mocked her
former partner.

Comment by CAMPOSTELLA RD. on February 26, 2010 at 9:35am: 50's lawyers chop this suit like a AK in a firing range! Rick Roberts bm gon fuck around and be paying 50 a money judement for wasting his time when its all said and done! Ol'girl got to know that boy 50 is smarter than to just put footage of her out without covering all the bases 1st with his legal team! He worth hundreds of millions so people will make a situation to sue him so I give him the benefit of the doubt that he made sure all t's were crossed and i's dotted before he pushed that footage. This is nothing more than a plot from rick Roberts to get some promo, sending his bm to the laws to sue a nigga cuz he pull ya skirt all the way the fuck up! i guess her pussy ain't selling over there in Miami or she tired of hooking so she tring to come'up and quit the game. Like the late great Chad Butler aka Pimp C said, "If you doing something that you are ashamed of, you shouldn't have been doing in the 1st place b/c eventually it will come to the light!" Here and her baby-daddy are ashamed of their past!

Comment by Christine on February 27, 2010 at 12:29pm: If he didn't get her permission to post that video, she can sue him. I studied business law and she has up to 5 years after the tape was posted to sue him. Sometimes you have to roll with the punches, when money is the primary objective.
