The legal issues plaguing 50 Cent have intensified, culminating into serious threat to his life.

The rapper and TV producer is currently embroiled in a $1 billion legal battle linked to his popular television series, Power, and its character origins.

In sync with his 2007 CD Blasphemy, Corey "Ghost" Holland feels an uncanny connection between his life story and the show. Allegedly, he even sent a copy of the CD to Courtney Kemp's father before she co-created Power. The main character of the series is affectionately known as "Ghost," and Holland has drawn attention to numerous parallels between this character's narrative and his own experiences detailed in the lawsuit.

In a recent message directed toward 50 Cent's legal representatives, Holland escalated the situation by introducing threats of physical harm.

As reported by AllHipHop, his communication was filled with explicit language and menacing statements, including the mention of potentially deadly consequences.

According to Holland's response, "If a m**********r gets killed because your m***********g client threatened me and my family, file a m***********g motion for that."

"I ain't playing with your m***********g client no more, next time he or anyone he sends pull up, f**k the litigation."

The document further read, "50 Cent plays games with people's lives, he humiliates people, he comes to their homes, then plays a victim. He constantly in somebody mess. Plaintiff has warned 50 Cent, he ain't no entertainer."

The legal team representing the "In Da Club" rapper raised serious concerns regarding the violent statements made to the judge.

"This language can only be understood as a threat of violence against [50 Cent] and his counsel. We are also in the process of notifying the relevant local authorities."

Ghost's final communication to 50 Cent declares the end of their communication, leaving all further decisions in the hands of the judge.

He also recounted a tense encounter at a gas station where suspected accomplices issued threats.

Furthermore, Holland claims that he was compelled to move his mother to a new location out of concern for her well-being following what he claims was persistent intimidation from 50 Cent.

"Plaintiff had [to] up and move [his mother] from her state out of fear that 50 Cent was going harm her and me. Plaintiff tries [sic] to protect himself and deal with the constant pressure and anxiety that is real."

In response to Holland's claims, 50 Cent's legal team has labeled the case as lacking in merit, highlighting that the characters in the show Power are purely fictional. The attorneys have underscored the invalidity of Holland's allegations and contended that any attempt to block the series' growth would infringe upon their intellectual property rights.

In the face of strong opposition from 50 Cent's team, Holland remains steadfast in highlighting the profound emotional and financial impact he proclaims he has endured, citing the alleged misappropriation of his narrative.

Holland said, "This is about the actual theft of my life, and the damages that it has done as well as the profits that the defendants have made."
