50 Cent sued a car dealership in Philadelphia because they used his name and likeness without his permission. The car dealership says they have a good explanation for it.
The car dealership said there's a reasonable explanation for why it used the rapper's image, though — 50 had participated in a car giveaway promotion conducted by local radio station WRDW in March and April, where the grand prize was to be a Dodge Magnum, just like the one 50 has in the Game's "How We Do" video. 50 Cent recorded at least two audio promos; in one he says, "You're now tuned in to the sounds of my man, Gary Barbera," and in another he says, "Keep listening for a chance to win a Magnum, and no, I'm not talking about mine, I'm talking about Gary Barbera's Magnum."
50 Cent wants over $1 million in damages. The car dealership says they are confused about the matter, because they are the ones who told 50's lawyer they used 50 in the advertisements. They even claim to have sent him the recordings.
