50 Cent wants $4m in name row

Rapper 50 Cent is suing the Taco Bell fast-food chain claiming it used his name without permission in adverts asking him to call himself 99 Cent.

The rapper wants US$4m (€2.5m) in a federal lawsuit over the Mexican-themed chain’s campaign suggesting he change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. His real name is Curtis Jackson.
