Monique Mayers, a Georgia-based former senior operations executive who spent more than a decade working for Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, has sued the rapper in federal court in Atlanta, accusing him of running a yearslong campaign of retaliation and intimidation after she refused to participate in alleged illegal conduct. According to the complaint, that pressure allegedly showed up in late-night calls, the public exposure of her phone number and other actions that Mayers says left her afraid for her safety. She claims the trouble began after she declined to put property in her name and refused to file what she describes as a false police report about a driver.
Inside the Federal Complaint
Per a press release by her lawyers posted to PR Newswire, Mayers worked for Jackson from October 2007 through March 2019 at entities that included G-Unit Records, G-Unit Touring and Sire Spirits. The filing alleges that Jackson and his agents demanded she conceal payments by placing property in her name, pushed her to file a false police report and then fired her when she refused. The complaint says the fallout did not stop there, alleging that for years she received dozens of phone calls and text messages from multiple numbers.
Threats, Grand Jury Testimony and Phone Barrage
As reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the suit says the harassment intensified when Mayers was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury. On the eve of a court-ordered deposition, she says she received a message that read, "you will suffer fif." The complaint also describes a deposition where Jackson’s lawyer allegedly questioned her about an unrelated unsolved 2006 killing, a line of inquiry Mayers says was meant to scare her. She further alleges that Jackson provided her name to investigators and that her phone number was circulated widely, prompting repeated predawn calls.
What Mayers Says Jackson’s Conduct Cost Her
According to the law firm’s release on PR Newswire, the complaint asserts claims that include intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy and seeks both compensatory and punitive damages, along with injunctive relief. The filing recounts specific episodes, including what it describes as dozens of calls and a voicemail in which a caller allegedly warned, "Bang bang, I shot you down." The press release states that federal and state authorities were notified about the alleged conduct.
Jackson’s Camp Fires Back
A representative for Jackson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the lawsuit is "nothing more than a transparent attempt to use the guise of a legal proceeding to seek an unjustified payday" and said Jackson’s lawyers had urged Mayers to report any alleged threats. The paper notes Jackson’s past legal run-ins, including a 2015 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and disputes tied to his Sire Spirits brand, as part of the backdrop to the new complaint. Jackson and his team have not yet filed a formal response in court in this case.
What Comes Next in Federal Court
The case is now pending in federal court in Atlanta and is expected to move through the typical stages of civil litigation, including responses to the complaint, discovery and potential motions or settlement talks. Mayers’ attorneys say they plan to pursue damages and injunctive relief, while Jackson’s representatives have declined to comment further beyond their initial statement. Upcoming deadlines and any hearings will be reflected in court filings and docket entries as the case progresses.
