50 Cent is going through a serious authorized counterpunch in his ongoing dispute over the horror movie Skill House, with new courtroom filings claiming he by no means had a binding contract to start with.

The authorized battle stems from a 2022 deal through which Kavanaugh sought to convey 50 Cent on board as each an actor and producer for Skill House.

Fif is suing, claiming that producers used his title, picture, and voice with out his permission or fee. He says he by no means signed a contract to behave in, produce, or promote the film, although his title was listed as a star and co-producer.

The lawsuit alleges trademark infringement, false promoting, and unfair competitors. Later, 50 Cent alleged the producers breached a settlement settlement, prompting additional authorized motion.

According to a movement to dismiss filed by Ryan Kavanaugh and his corporations, the rapper’s lawsuit hinges on agreements which are both nonexistent or too imprecise to be enforced.

Kavanaugh’s workforce argues that fifty Cent and his authorized workforce try to stroll away from obligations after benefiting from the mission for years.

Negotiations included emails and draft phrases outlining his tasks, together with social media promotion and advertising and marketing approvals.

By August 2022, 50 Cent had already filmed his scenes, accredited promotional supplies, and posted in regards to the film to his huge on-line following.

Court paperwork say Fif waited almost three years earlier than elevating objections or claiming misuse of his title and likeness.

The movement to dismiss focuses on two key claims. First, 50 Cent references a June 26, 2022, electronic mail as proof of an settlement. Second, 50 Cent’s argument {that a} May 12, 2025, “settlement agreement” ought to be enforced additionally falls quick.

The paperwork lacked clear phrases, had been lacking ultimate signatures and included circumstances for future agreements that by no means materialized. The protection says that makes it too ambiguous to be legally binding.

Kavanaugh’s workforce is asking the courtroom to toss the claims “with prejudice,” which might block 50 Cent from re-filing them later.

Earlier this yr, 50 Cent tried to dam the movie’s launch with a preliminary injunction.

However, in July 2025, Judge Hernán D. Vera denied the request, noting that 50 Cent’s actions, including filming, promoting, and approving marketing, demonstrated that he had acted as if a deal was in place and the movie had been released.

The courtroom has scheduled a listening to on the movement to dismiss for October 23, 2025.
