Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is facing a explosive new lawsuit from a former executive assistant who claims she was wrongfully terminated after refusing to participate in a series of illegal schemes, including the filing of a false police report and the concealment of corporate assets. The complaint, filed on May 1, 2026, in Manhattan Supreme Court, paints a troubling picture of the internal operations at the rapper’s G-Unit brand.
The plaintiff, identified as Sarah Jenkins, served as a high-level administrative assistant to Jackson for nearly four years. In the filing, Jenkins alleges that her professional relationship with the “In Da Club” artist soured in late 2025 when she was pressured to facilitate a “staged” criminal investigation. According to Jenkins, Jackson instructed her to contact the New York Police Department (NYPD) to report that a former personal driver had stolen one of his luxury vehicles along with $600,000 in cash that was allegedly stored in the trunk.
Jenkins claims that when she questioned the validity of the report, Jackson admitted the car had not been stolen and the money was accounted for, but that he wanted to use the police report as leverage in a private dispute with the driver and for “tax-related maneuvers.” Jenkins alleges that after she refused to file the false report, citing the risk of perjury and obstruction of justice, Jackson began a campaign of professional intimidation against her.
Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges that Jackson sought Jenkins’ assistance in hiding business assets from potential creditors and “legal adversaries.” Jenkins claims she was asked to transfer significant sums of money between shell companies and misclassify various luxury purchases as business expenses to shield Jackson’s personal wealth. When she reportedly raised concerns with G-Unit’s HR department regarding these requests, she was terminated within 48 hours.
A representative for 50 Cent dismissed the allegations in a statement released Friday afternoon, characterizing Jenkins as a “disgruntled former employee” who was fired for performance-based issues and “gross insubordination.” The statement further claimed that the lawsuit is a “shakedown attempt” designed to capitalize on Jackson’s high public profile.
Jenkins is seeking unspecified damages for wrongful termination, retaliation, and emotional distress. She also requests “whistleblower protection,” alleging that she has provided documentation of the requested financial transfers to state authorities. As 50 Cent prepares for a busy summer tour schedule, this legal battle marks a significant distraction for the mogul, whose business empire has faced several high-profile litigations over the past decade. A preliminary hearing for the case has been set for June 15, 2026.
