Soon as we get done posting about Plies being sued, news comes of 50 Cent & Tony Yayo being hit with a lawsuit. The two G-Unit members are being sued by the mother of the teenage boy who claimed to have been assaulted by Yayo. The New York Daily News is reporting that James Rosemond, son of Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond (CEO of Czar Entertainment and manager of The Game), blames Tony Yayo for attacking him last year. "Because of the injuries suffered by James, and the lack of remorse and arrogance displayed by Yayo, G-Unit and all named in the lawsuit, I feel obligated as a mother to bring this suit and obtain justice for my child. Even though Yayo pled guilty in criminal court to harassing my son and Fletcher pled guilty to endangering my son, neither Yayo nor G-Unit members have ever apologized to my son or me."
As we previously reported, Yayo was cleared of all charges for the incident when his co-defendant Lowell Fletcher admitted to slapping the boy, even saying Yayo actually tried to restrain him from doing so. The lawsuit isn't just against 50 & Yayo, it also names Fletcher, G-Unit Records, Inc., Interscope Records, Inc., Shady Records, Inc., Universal Music Group, Inc., Violator Records, LLC., Violator Management, and Chris Lighty.
Apparently you can be sued for "not apologizing" and you can sue people who were not only in the same state, but any companies that they have any business with. What a nation. I agree with 50's lawyer Benjamin Brafman who said the mother is just looking for "a quick payday."
