According to the Herald Tribune, 50 Cent has sued Taco Bell for unauthorized use of his name in a nation-wide advertising campaign.  Court papers filed by the rapper, who’s real name is Curtis Jackson, say the chain did not get 50 Cent’s endorsement for their “Why Pay More” campaign which features the rapper being asked to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent.  The papers say the Irvine, Calif.-based company sent a bogus letter requesting the name change to the news media but not to the rapper.

Fiddy accused the Mexican-style fast food chain of “diluting the value of his good name” (Clearly the rapper has not tried the Cheesy Gordita Crunch!!) and is seeking $4 million in damages.
