50 Cent has settled his lawsuit with The Shade Room after suing the blog and a plastic surgeon for sharing a picture of him he claimed implied he underwent p3nis enhancement surgery.
The Queens rapper filed against the blog site and the owner of Miami-based Perfection Plastic Surgery, Angela Kogan, last year.
He claimed Kogan took a photo with him to suggest he had penile enhancement surgery.
The Shade Room then shared the photo with their 27.7million followers to promote a story about Kogan discussing the latest trends in surgery.
But the star has now agreed to settle against the blog after initially saying he wanted an apology and money from the website ‘for exacerbating the penile implant saga.’
It is unclear how much the In Da Club star will receive from The Shade Room in the settlement, but initially he was asking for ‘millions’.
Currently there has been no apology from the website to the star, though it may not be part of the settlement.
He is still suing glamorous Kogan for taking the photo and suggesting he had the surgery.
Kogan is blaming the blog for sharing the story and her lawyer claims that 50 Cent was a client who agreed to pose for the photo ‘in exchange for her service’ but did not clarify what that service was.
50 Cent denies ever having penile enlargement surgery and says that he was subject to ‘ridicule.’
He said Kogan and her associates are aware he never underwent any type of surgery at the clinic, and wants them to cease the use of the photo under all circumstances.
The lawsuit states that it caused ‘substantial damage to his professional and personal reputation, and violated his right to control his name and image.’
But attorneys for Kogan say that 50 Cent would have known it wasn’t just a picture with a fan, and denies claiming that he had the procedure.
