EXCLUSIVE: 50 Cent Uses Ja Rule Wrong-Number Call To Fight Ex-Assistant’s Lawsuit

50 Cent tells a judge a 1 a.m. call from someone claiming to be Ja Rule proves his ex-assistant wasn’t harassed.

50 Cent‘s lawyers say a caller claiming to be Ja Rule dialed his former assistant at 1:00 in the morning, looking for him instead of her.

That call is central to his defense in a new motion to dismiss a harassment lawsuit filed by Monique Mayers, his longtime former executive.

AllHipHop broke the news about Mayers’s lawsuit back in April, when she went public with the claims against 50 Cent.

Mayers says it started in 2015, when she refused to help 50 Cent hide assets during his bankruptcy by putting property in her own name.

She also says he pressured her to file a false police report accusing his driver and bodyguard of stealing $600,000 in cash. When she refused both requests, Mayers claims 50 Cent fired her in 2019 and got Forbes to pull a feature story about her career.

Mayers claims she got more than 80 harassing calls and texts from 25 different numbers between 2019 and this year.

50 Cent’s motion says none of the calls came from him, and strangers simply mixed up her number with his.

The Ja Rule caller is the clearest example the filing uses to make that point.

Another caller, Victor Sena, texted Mayers in 2023, saying he’d gotten her number from 50 Cent for concert tickets. He even called her by 50 Cent’s nickname, proof he thought he’d reached the rapper himself.

The rap star’s legal team argues the court lacks jurisdiction over 50 Cent, a Texas resident. Georgia’s long-arm statute requires that the alleged conduct occur within the state, and 50 Cent’s lawyers say none of it did.

The motion also says that most of Mayers’s claims fall outside Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations. 50 Cent’s team calls the case a media stunt, filed years after her 2019 firing.

A separate section of the motion defends a deposition question Mayers called “grotesquely outrageous,” about the unsolved 2006 murder of Israel Ramirez.

Ramirez was Busta Rhymes’s bodyguard, shot dead outside a Brooklyn video shoot where 50 Cent and other G-Unit members were present. 50 Cent’s attorneys argue that the question is protected legal conduct and doesn’t constitute extreme or outrageous behavior under Georgia law.

50 Cent’s filing goes further, asking the court to order Mayers to pay his attorney’s fees, calling her case frivolous and vexatious.

Judge Victoria Calvert, who’s overseeing the case, hasn’t ruled on the motion yet.
