Days before the release of the Diddy docuseries that he executive-produced for Netflix, 50 Cent settled a lawsuit.
The lawsuit, obtained and reviewed by Complex, shows that a man named Guadalupe de los Santos filed a civil complaint against the rapper for allegedly assaulting him in Los Angeles. He claims that last September, Fif’s SUV approached him while he waited at a traffic light — then the passenger door “suddenly and forcefully opened, without warning or provocation, and struck [him] on his left side, knocking him and his scooter to the street."
Guadalupe was seeking damages for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
Fif had previously filed a motion to dismiss the case and had a hearing set for Dec. 22, but the two sides somehow managed to settle it a month before.
On Nov. 25, a motion was filed announcing that both the plaintiff and defendant had "reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims" and were "in the process of drafting and executing the formal settlement agreement."
In other Fif news, the rapper recently spoke about the connection between snitch culture and hip-hop during an interview on Gold Derby. “It’s a part of hip-hop culture,” Fif said, referring to how Diddy went unchallenged for years. “They think they’re telling, or something.”
