Teairra Mari Responds to Arrest Warrant Being Issued After She Fails To Appear For 50 Cent Court Hearing

A bench warrant reportedly has been issued for Teairra Mari after failing to appear for a hearing that’s related to the money she owes 50 Cent.

Mari sued 50 in May 2018 after he posted a sexually explicit screenshot that was taken from a video her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad allegedly shared. But in January of this year, a judge dismissed the suit and said Mari had to pay the rapper $30,618 in legal fees.

50 has been demanding that money ever since and taunting Mari, who’s given it right back to him. She also developed the catch phrase “I Ain’t Got It” in response, which she put on a T-shirt and made a song out of.

Earlier this year, 50 set up a hearing for April 22 in Los Angeles for the courts to go over Mari’s finances, and since the singer didn’t show she’ll be arrested if law enforcement gets to her.

On Monday, Mari responded to the warrant by posting a superimposed image of herself running from 50, who’s chasing her in a vehicle. The license plate on the car also has the words “#IAintGotIt.”

“👀 🏃🏾‍♀️💨 Yall F–k with the Album cover #IAintGotIt™️🤷🏽‍♀️ LINK IN MY BIO #albumcomingsoon#Wanted,” she captioned the image.

50 also posted two more messages since news of Mari’s arrest warrant surfaced.

In one he wrote “See the sh-t ain’t funny now, is it Funky.🤔you best be coming up with my money. I’m a need 75K now after they add all additional legal fees.🤨The Law is The Law.”

In the other post, the rapper told Mari he’s not in the mood to play and had a few words for those who told him to leave the singer alone.

“All you angry b—— on my page, get your me 2 asses outta here,” he wrote. “I’m different, now this girl thought she was gonna grab a bag of my money and got jammed up. What you want me to do ? The Law is, The Law. LOL”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
