50 Cent is suing the fast-food chain for using his hip-hop persona to tout its tacos.
Fitty says his trademark name is being infringed on in a “guerrilla” ad campaign for Taco Bell’s value menu.
He’s asking for more than $1 million in damages.
Jackson says he never gave the company permission to use his name in an ad that asks him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent.
“Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business,” the suit says.
The letter from Taco Bell President Greg Creed promised to donate $10,000 to Fitty’s favorite charity if he joined in the stunt.
The rapper is upset that fans are slamming him online for “selling out,” not knowing the ads are unauthorized.
