50 faces civil assault suit

Heavyweight rapper 50 Cent has been hit with a civil lawsuit from two female fans who claim he assaulted them during a Massachusetts concert in May 2004.

The legal papers - filed by Donna DeJesus, 25 and Taneka Nesbitt, 27, at Hampden County Court - alleges the In Da Club star punched DeJesus in the face and injured Nesbitt's knee.

The alleged incident took place when 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - jumped into the crowd in search of a fan who sprayed him with water.

Jackson was then returned to the stage by security guards and two police officers and he finished his show.

In May 2005, Jackson entered a plea agreement in a criminal trial stemming from the incident and was sentenced to attend an anger management program and to undergo random drug testing for two years.

The two plaintives are seeking undisclosed damages in their civil case, reports AllHipHop.com.
