Tony Yayo & 50 Cent Sued For "Gangsta Lifestyles"

Posted almost 4 years ago
Something like this is hard to prove in a court of law, but do you guys think the case has any merit?To make a long story short, Tony Yayo is an employee of 50 Cent. Lowell Fletcher is an employee of Tony Yayo. Lowell Fletcher plead guilty to assaulting the 14 year old son of his bosses rival. Therefore, the 14 year olds mother is suing everyone "because they encourage artists to pursue violent, criminal lifestyles". It wouldn't be out of line to assume Fletcher would have never laid a finger on the kid had he not worked for 50 Cent & Yayo. Therefore are they in any way responsible for his actions? Or should he be held accountable alone for what took place?"Reuters":http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN0919064520080409

    mollifire says rap music made me do it! it's a powerful question that comes up regularly in genres of urban music, hip hop, reggae, grime, metal, etc. if we give up our freedom of speech because it's too gangsta, we lose our most powerful weapon. music doesn't cause injustice/crime and plenty of people listen to 50 Cent without hurting children. seems like being a fake gangsta will get a person into more trouble than growing up gangsta....

    TroyPowers says Well, it's CERTAIN that Lowell never would have smacked the kid up if his mother had never given birth to him. Does that make the mother accountable too? I assume that Mr. Fletcher is an adult, and therefore responsible for his own actions. Unless it can be proven that 50 or Yayo told this guy to smack around a kid as part of his job...I think hes' gonna have to take this hit alone. Peer pressure is a bitch.
