50 Cent Sued By Two Women Over 2004 Concert Altercation

Plaintiffs claim they were injured and feared for their lives during show.

50 Cent was hit earlier this month with a civil lawsuit filed by two Massachusetts women who claim that they were trampled and buried under a crowd rush and battered by the rapper during a May 2004 performance at the Hippodrome in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The suit — filed August 16 against 50, Lloyd Banks and the Hippodrome — came more than a year after the G-Unit boss (born Curtis Jackson) avoided a jail sentence by taking a plea deal on three counts of assault and battery in connection with the incident, in which the rapper allegedly jumped into the crowd after being hit in the head with a water bottle (see "50 Cent Performance Cut Short After Fan Throws Water At Him").
