Despite declaring himself bankrupt three days after he was ordered to pay Lavonia Leviston $5 million,50 Cent has been ordered to pay another $2 million in punitive damages to the mother of Rick Ross' baby. A jury determined the rapper had intentionally acquired an X-rated video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission to embarrass his rap rival Rick Ross, who
fathered a child with the woman.
A lawyer for Leviston had urged jurors to award her $15 million in punitive damages but was rather awarded $7 mil especially because 50 Cent told the jury this week that he was worth less than $5 million in an effort to get some leniency. 50 Cent's attorney had asked them to order he pay $700,000.The jury announced the judgment in NYC on yesterday. 50 already got hit with a $5 million judgment in the case earlier this month which lead to him filing for
personal bankruptcy.
50 Cent's attorney has released a statement saying the rapper plans to fight the judgement hoping to "reduce the size of the award."
