50 Cent says Tia Kemp’s response to his cease-and-desist convinced him to seek a permanent protective order after she allegedly made offensive comments about his teenage son.
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, appeared in a Zoom hearing involving a temporary injunction filed on behalf of his 14-year-old son, Sire.
“Honestly, if she didn’t respond the way she responded to the order, then I wouldn’t even continue to pursue it,” he told the court. “But she just went off, and it continued to go in the wrong direction.”
50 alleges Kemp, who shares a son with Rick Ross, repeatedly targeted Sire online, making disparaging comments about his intelligence and ability to speak. According to the complaint, the remarks appeared across four social media platforms within six days.
50 Cent claims the alleged harassment caused his son humiliation and mental anguish.
Kemp has rejected the accusations and also accused his supporters of reporting her social media accounts after discovering that her Instagram page had been disabled.
“All you 15 cent fans done reported my pages,” she complained. She has since returned to Instagram and continued to drag the rapper.
TMZ reported that Kemp did not attend Tuesday’s hearing and had not yet been served with the injunction.
The legal dispute also includes a $6 million lawsuit against Kemp.
A permanent protective order has not been granted.
