Rapper 50 Cent sues Taco Bell over ad campaign

By Nathan Wade -- pending replacement | Thursday, July 24, 2008, 10:17 AM

Rapper 50 Cent has sued Taco Bell over their “Why pay more?” ad campaign. The fast-food chain allegedly used the rapper’s image and name without his permission.

The ad features a likeness of 50 Cent and asks if he’s be willing to change his name to 79, 89 or 99 Cent, the cost of various items on the restaurant’s menu.

Taco Bell representatives said they made a charitable offer to the rapper to use his name and likeness and would have been willing to make a $10,000 donation to his charity of choice.
