‘Let Her Breathe, Man’: 50 Cent Demands His Money From Teairra Mari After She’s Hit With Over $5,000 in Court Sanctions

Another chapter has been added to the long story of 50 Cent and Teairra Mari beefing over money.

Because the Blast recently reported that a Los Angeles judge ordered Mari to pay $5,295.50 in sanctions to the rapper, and give her financial records to him as well.

The order comes after 50 filed documents last month and accused Mari of refusing to hand over her bank statements or detail how much she earns from “Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood” when she was told to.

The problems between the rapper and singer started in 2018 when Mari sued 50 after he posted a screenshot of a sexually explicit video she was in with her then-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad.

Mari accused her ex of going into her Instagram account without permission and posting the video. But in January of 2019, a judge threw out the lawsuit and ordered the reality star to pay 50 $30,618 in legal fees.

50 said Mari hasn’t paid him anything since then, and in March of last year he served her with court papers while she was walking through an airport.

Mari was also hit with $4,392.50 more in sanctions in July of 2019, so the judge’s decisions definitely have favored 50 so far.

Plus, since Mari’s 2018 case was tossed, the G-Unit artist has gloated about things going his way, which he’s done again in an Instagram post shared on Feb. 4.

“🙂i’m not arguing anymore, so do you think you can have my Money by Monday. 🤷🏽‍♂️😆,” wrote the “Power” star.

Afterward, a lot of 50’s followers left comments about Mari, which they’ve been doing since her lawsuit began.

“She not gonna pay.. she gonna keep playing you n keep her money,” one person stated.

“If it was the other way around she would have wanted her money ASAP. Pay the man,” wrote someone else.

There was also someone who told 50 to ease up on Mari.

“Let her breathe man😂,” one comment read.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
