TraxNYC Publicly Apologizes To 50 Cent To Get $5M Lawsuit Dropped
Written by djfrosty on May 16, 2025
Last year, 50 Cent sued famous social media jeweler TraxNYC for using his name and likeness to sell some diamond-encrusted crosses similar to the one 50 Cent wore, and now the jeweler out of New York City is apologizing for his transgression.
According to TMZ, TraxNYC (born Maksud Agadjani) has officially apologized to 50 Cent for using his likeness to sell the aforementioned iced-out pieces and in the process got the case dismissed. Not only did Agadjani post a public apology on all his social media platforms, but even printed out his apology and posted it on the storefront window of his brick-and-mortar store in New York City.
Per TMZ:
In the apology, Agadjani says he’s “writing to express my sincere and heartfelt apology” and he acknowledges using 50’s name, image and other IP rights to “advertise, market, and sell my jewelry products without your permission.”
Agadjani says he did not have and never had any affiliation with or endorsement from 50 Cent … and he says he removed all the posts and videos about 50 from his social media platforms.
What’s more, Agadjani says he will not use 50 Cent’s name going forward … and he says he respects Fif’s brand and deeply regrets his poor judgment and takes full responsibility for his actions … asking 50 Cent and 50’s fans to accept his apology and forgive him.
50 Cent didn’t name that first G-Unit album Beg For Mercy for nothing.
Agadjani knew that it was either a free public apology or coughing up $5 million to 50 Cent for using his likeness without his permission. It wasn’t that hard of a choice. We’re just surprised it took this long to get done.
What do y’all think about this situation? Did 50 Cent overreact, or was he in the right to sue? Let us know in the comments section below.
