Overview
- 50 Cent’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the federal suit on July 14, saying the complaint does not allege he made calls, sent messages, or told others to harass Monique Mayers.
- Mayers sued in April 2026 alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy after she was fired in 2019 and reportedly received more than 80 harassing calls and texts.
- The defense argues a simpler explanation for the calls is that people were trying to reach 50 Cent through a number long associated with him and cites specific wrong‑number examples in the filing.
- Counsel also asserts many claims are barred by Georgia’s statute of limitations, questions the court’s jurisdiction over the rapper, and labels the lawsuit a publicity‑driven ‘media stunt.’
- A judge has not ruled on the motion, and the decision will determine whether the case is dismissed outright, sent to discovery, or narrowed on procedural grounds.
