50 Cent fails to block Bryce Hall's film Skillhouse as court denies preliminary injunction
A federal judge denied his request for a preliminary injunction on July 3, 2025, allowing the movie to proceed toward its scheduled July 11 premiere.
In April, 50 Cent's production company, NYC Vibe, filed a lawsuit against Skillhouse's producers—including Ryan Kavanaugh, Skill House Movie LLC, and GenTV LLC—claiming the film used his name, image, voice, and likeness without a signed agreement or compensation. He alleges that despite filming his scenes and those with his son Sire based on 'good-faith promises,' no final contract existed and he has not been paid.

During the injunction hearing, the judge determined that 50 Cent failed to meet the legal standard required—showing a likelihood of success on the merits and proving irreparable harm. As a result, Skillhouse can move forward with its limited theatrical release set by Fathom Entertainment.
Skillhouse, directed by Josh Stolberg, combines horror with social media satire and showcases a cast of influencers, including Bryce Hall and Paige VanZant . Produced by 50 Cent, Neal McDonough, and others, the film was shot in 2022 and gained attention for its intense scenes and influencer cast.
The ruling allows Skillhouse to proceed to theaters while the lawsuit continues. If 50 Cent appeals, the film's future could shift, but for now, fans and critics alike await its debut despite the controversy.

50 Cent trolls Diddy after split trial verdict
Following the split verdict in Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial, longtime rival 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the music mogul. Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but he was acquitted on three more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. "Beat the Feds that boy a bad man!" 50 Cent wrote, accompanied by clapping hands emojis. He also jokingly referred to Combs as "the Gay John Gotti," referencing the infamous mob boss who was acquitted on similar racketeering charges. Despite the victory on some counts, Combs still faces up to 20 years in prison. The mixed verdict, however, was seen as the best possible outcome for Combs, short of a total acquittal. Throughout the trial, 50 Cent continued to troll Combs by commenting on witness testimony. After a former employee testified that Combs had allegedly kidnapped her at gunpoint, 50 Cent posted a sarcastic message, joking about Combs' use of a weapon. When another accuser testified about the nicknames "Bert" and "Ernie" between her and Combs, 50 Cent posted an image of the characters in lingerie. The ongoing feud between Combs and 50 Cent, which dates back to the 2000s, resurfaced during the trial. Their rivalry began with 50 Cent's 2006 diss track, 'The Bomb,' and has been fueled by various personal and professional conflicts, including 50 Cent's interest in signing Mase, a former Bad Boy artist. Combs, who was convicted for transporting male prostitutes to participate in drug-fueled 'freak-offs,' expressed relief after the verdict, pumping his fist and thanking the jurors. As he awaits sentencing, his defense team is pushing for his release, while federal prosecutors argue he should remain in jail.

50 Cent responds to son Marquise Jackson's Father's Day posts after targeting ex Daphne Joy
50 Cent has publicly responded to his son Marquise Jackson's Father's Day social media activity, reigniting ongoing tension between the pair. On Sunday, Marquise posted a series of messages referencing 50 Cent and his younger son, Sire Jackson. One included an AI-generated clip showing 50 with a young Marquise and an infant resembling Sire, while another listed betting odds on whether 50 Cent would acknowledge both sons or only Sire in a Father's Day post. Shortly after, 50 Cent addressed Marquise directly on Instagram, writing: 'You little punk your momma got you and your sister scamming. Them people came to ask me some questions about it. I said I don't fvck wit them, I'm a law abiding citizen.' The caption was attached to a post referencing alleged involvement in PPP loan scams, where 50 added, 'I bet they are gonna blame me when they get picked up for scamming PPP loans.' Marquise has since deleted the posts, but reactions online quickly poured in. Some fans expressed disappointment over the public dispute, while others reacted with humour. 50's comment came after addressing former partner Daphne Joy in a separate post, adding further attention to his personal life online.
