A former drug lord who is suing the television producer for $1 billion has threatened 50 Cent's life. 

In 2021, Cory "Ghost" Holland Sr. sued Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Courtney Kemp, Starz, and Lionsgate, alleging they had based most of Power's plot on his life without his consent. Since then, the former hustler says the boss of G-Unit has sent "goons" and family members to harass him.

 "If a motherf**ker gets killed because your motherf**king client threaten me and my family, file a motherf**king motion for that. I ain't playing with your motherf**king client no more, next time he or anyone he sends pull up, f**k the litigation," reads a statement from Holland to Jackson's reps, obtained by AllHipHop. "50 Cent plays games with people's lives, he humiliates people, he comes to their homes, then plays a victim. He constantly in somebody mess. Plaintiff has warned 50 Cent, he ain't no entertainer."



In a subsequent response, 50 Cent's attorneys expressed concern to Judge Analisa Torres about the statement's violent content. 

They told the court, "This language can only be understood as a threat of violence against Mr. Jackson and his counsel." "Notifying the appropriate local authorities is something we are also currently doing." 

Holland, on the other hand, maintains that 50 has tried to scare him into letting go of his lawsuit, claiming the rapper's goons threatened him at a gas station. In addition, he says he had to move his mother.


"Plaintiff had [to] up and move [his mother] from her state out of fear that 50 Cent was go harm her and me. Plaintiff try's [sic] to protect himself  and deal with the constant pressure and fear that is real," a letter to the judge from Holland read.

50 Cent's representatives have refuted Holland's accusations that he stole his life story for Power, asserting that all the characters were made up. Holland claims that the storylines were true accounts of his life that originated from a series of recordings he made in 2007 to warn at-risk youth about the perils of living on the streets and to deter them from following in his footsteps. 

Holland stated in his initial complaint, "This is not one of those lawsuits from a deranged fan or some somebody trying to capitalize off of someone else's success." "This is about the actual theft of my life, the harm it has caused, and the money the defendants have made by taking my life story and sharing it without my permission."
