50 Cent Is Suing His Lawyers For Not Being Good Enough Lawyers

He wants $75 million.

50 Cent is looking to collect some major cash from his former lawyers.

According to Business Insider, Fif filed a suit against Garvey Schubert Barer in Connecticut bankruptcy court, looking for $75 million in damages. The suit, which was posted on the website Scribd, alleges that the firm failed to do its job in repping 50 when they defended him against Sleek Audio, after he launched his own company, SMS Audio.

"During the course of that representation, GSB and attorneys Beckner, Moon, and Trinchero failed to employ the requisite knowledge and skill necessary to confront the circumstances of the case," the filing says. "Among GSB’s numerous failures was its inexplicable decision not to call technical and damages experts to rebut expert testimony offered by Sleek --failures relied upon by the arbitrator in crediting Sleek's experts and entering an eight-figure award in Sleek's favor."

According to The Wall Street Journal, one of the reasons that 50 filed for bankruptcy over the summer was because he was ordered to pay Sleek $18.4 million when he lost the suit.

"We understand that Mr. Jackson is disappointed in the outcome of Sleek Audio's arbitration against him," GSB said in a statement to Business Insider. "However, Mr. Jackson's complaint against GSB omits a number of relevant facts and misstates a number of others, and we will respond to the allegations in accordance with the court's rules. Our attorneys properly counseled Mr. Jackson and his sophisticated team of financial and operational advisors about the transactions and the arbitrations with Sleek. Unfortunately, the arbitrator in the Sleek case found Mr. Jackson responsible for his actions and the actions of those who performed services for him or his companies. We look forward to demonstrating that our attorneys handled the Sleek matters appropriately in all aspects."

50, meanwhile, is still being 50.
