50 Cent Says He’s Spent $24 Million on Legal Fees During His Career

50 Cent has been entrenched in myriad lawsuits throughout his career, and those lawyer retainers are getting expensive. The G-Unit boss pulled up to Million Dollaz Worth of Game on Sunday (Sept. 1), where he disclosed that he’s spent an astronomical $24 million just on legal fees in his career, according to his estimations.

“I’ve spent $24 million in my career, so far. I can’t wait till I get rich,” he said in jest. “Just on lawyers. I’ve spent $24 million in my career on legal fees.”

The TV and film mogul said when he’s frustrated with a situation, he’ll fire back with lawsuits to frustrate the opposition purely for “recreational purposes.” “When they agitate me, I’ll send the f–king lawyers,” he stated.

50 revealed that he keeps general counsel on deck, but doesn’t have a manager taking a percentage of his empire because he’s seen every type of business deal out there already in the industry.

“I have general counsel. I don’t have a manager,” he continued. “Why do I need you to manage me for? I’ve done every deal a 100 f–king times that I would be doing for me as a music artist. Why do I need you to do that for? They all want to work at a percentage and you want a percentage of me? You didn’t build this — I built it.”

The Queens rapper went on to say that he’s developed management companies to help artists maneuver in the industry and learn the tricks of the trade with someone they trust.

“I’ll even develop management companies to help the artist out,” 50 added. “I’ll say eat what you kill. You know who they put as a manager? Someone they trust. Someone who’s not gonna steal the f–king money from you.”

Even more than two decades into his career, 50 remains tied up in lawsuits. 50 — born Curtis Jackson — was sued in civil court in January over an incident from summer 2023 in which video of the moment captured him flinging a mic of the side of a stage while performing, allegedly causing an L.A. radio host suffer “severe and permanent injuries.”

Then in May, 50 Cent filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex Daphne Joy over her public accusations that he physically abused her. He called the allegations — which he denied and said were “unequivocally false” — a “calculated attack” designed to destroy his reputation.
