Taco Bell Responds To 50 Cent
Remember how rapper 50 Cent was suing fast food chain Taco Bell because they offered to donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice if he’d change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent, or 99 Cent to correspond with the prices on their value menu? Well Taco Bell isn’t going down without a fight or some mud slinging. Taco Bell has called him “a self-described former drug dealer and hustler” and they’re not done there.
“(This lawsuit is) another of Jackson’s attempts to burnish his gangsta rapper persona by distorting beyond all recognition the bona fide, good faith offer that Taco Bell made.”
Taco Bell’s lawyer also weighs in.
“Jackson has used his colorful past to cultivate a public image of belligerence and arrogance and has a well-publicized track record of making threats, starting feuds and filing lawsuits.”
Cent’s lawyer has responded to these accusations.
“(wondering) why they would decide to use his name in their ad campaign if they think he’s such a bad character.”
Taco Bell, I will give $20 to charity if you get Kanye to change his name to Carne.

I’m glad Taco Bell is fighting back. 50 cent is such a idiot to sue in the first place!

I’m terrified to admit this, but I side with 50 Cent’s camp. It is completely ridiculous for 50 Cent to sue, but if Taco Bell is so quick to lambast him after he attacks them, why would they want him to be some sort of spokesperson in the first place?
This whole thing is just a scam to sell more crappy food and crappy music.

Philip! Taco bell is NOT crappy food, it’s pretty darn good food. Another good thing about them is that they have PEPSI beverages. LONG LIVE TACO BELL
