Former drug dealer accuses rapper of stealing his life story for TV show 'Power' and reportedly makes threats.

According to a report by AllHipHop, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has found himself in a legal battle with a former drug dealer who claims that the hit series "Power" on Starz is based on his life story. Cory "Ghost" Holland Sr. has filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent, the creator of the show Courtney Kemp, Starz, and Lionsgate, alleging that the show is loosely based on his own experiences. He claims to have given Kemp's father a CD called "Blasphemy" which he says shares similarities with the storyline of "Power." Recently, Holland sent an email to 50 Cent's lawyers, making what appeared to be threatening remarks, warning that if anyone from 50's team were to come after him or his family, he wouldn't hesitate to retaliate.

This is not the first time Holland has accused the "Get Rich Or Die Trying" rapper of targeting him. He claims that in 2021, 50 Cent showed up at his residence not once, but twice, in response to the lawsuit. In the email obtained by AllHipHop, Holland expressed his frustration, stating, "If someone gets hurt because your client decided to threaten me and my family, go ahead and file a motion. I'm done playing games with your client, if he or anyone he sends comes after me, forget about the lawsuit."

An attorney representing 50 Cent voiced their concern about Holland's threatening language to Judge Analisa Torres, who is overseeing the case. "This type of language can only be interpreted as a threat of violence against Mr. Jackson and his legal team. We are also in the process of notifying the appropriate authorities," stated the attorney.

Holland first filed the lawsuit in 2021, claiming that in 2007, he had sent a copy of his album "Blasphemy" to Kemp's father, which contained a song that told his personal story of being a "drug lord." In the song, he mentions falling in love with a Puerto Rican woman, who later turned out to be working in law enforcement. Holland believes that the main plot of "Power" is based on this song.
