50 Cent Suing Taco Bell
Rapper 50 Cent doesn't like tacos enough to change his name to 79, 89, or 99 Cent. As part of Taco Bell's "Why Pay More?" campaign—where menu items stay under a buck—the fast food chain jokingly implied this in ads, but without his permission first. 50 Cent is now suing for $4 million.

Okay, I crunched the numbers. If 50 wins, he can buy 3,560,000 tacos with his settlement!

this is what the dude does. he has done nothing in music in years. gotta keep the old fiddy name out there. as far as taco bell goes, it would most likely have cost them that much anyway for him to sign on. he'll get his money and his name mentioned for 15 more minutes and taco bell gets their ads.

If you change your name to 50 Cent, I think you give up certain rights to the use of your name. It will be a sad day for free speech if he gets a dime. Oops! I hope that's not been taken too!.
