50 CENT TAKEN TO COURT BY RICK ROSS' BABY MOTHER

50, real name: Curtis Jackson, 39 is slated to testify in court for putting a video of Lastonia Leviston, who has a child with rapper Rick Ross, on his YouTube channel. The video got more than 3.2 million viewers. In 2010, Leviston sued Jackson for emotional distress. Says The New York Daily News:

According to court papers, Murray gave Jackson the tape in 2009 after Jackson, 39, recognized Leviston as former girlfriend of the rapper’s rival, Rick Ross. She is also the mother of Ross’ child. Before posting the tape on the Internet, Jackson altered the tape, inserting himself into it. He blurred Murray’s face but not Leviston’s and she says the mental and emotional distress almost caused her to commit suicide.

Jury selection is slated to begin on May 26. Jackson, who is the executive producer of the Starz channel’s hit TV show, “Power,” tried to have the trial postponed until October. The judge in the case refused.
