Well, the tacos have hit the fan. OK dumb joke; don't hate. Anyway, rapper 50 Cent will not be running for the boarder anytime soon. Wow, another zinger. I'm on a roll.
So to get some publicity (and street cred) Taco Bell offered to donate $10,000 to charity if Fiddy (real name Curtis Jackson) changed his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent. They also requested he rap a food order at one of their branches. That's a tall order for just a $10K charity donation.
However, when Fiddy got wind of this he was livid, as Taco Bell was using his name without his permission to promote their product. And rather than changing his name to 89 Cent, Fiddy is slapping the fast food chain with a $4 million lawsuit. That's a lot of Chalupas!
