Planet Notion - Holy burrito! 50 Cent goes to war with Taco Bell!

With a name like 50 Cent, one could be forgiven for thinking the American rapper doesn’t give a good god damn about money. If he did, he’d probably be called 'Million Cent' or 'Gazillion Cent' or 'So-large-it-isn’t-even-a-number-zillion Cent', right? But get this; 50 Cent is suing American food chain Taco Bell. For $4million!!! Which means he does care about money. A lot.

50 got the hump when Taco Bell used him in an advert to promote their ‘Why Pay More?’ philosophy. They basically used the concept of his name to plug how cheap their Mexican food is. Apparently they were phoning ‘Fiddy’ up over and over again and urging him to change his name to 79 Cents or 99 Cents.

Fiddy reckoned that the campaign by Taco Bell diminished “the value of his good name”; although he failed to state whether he'll be changing his name to 49 Cents or 1 Dime as a result.,. [Please don’t sue us for diminishing "your good name" 50 Cent, we love you lots and lots] Anyway, we thought we’d show you a video of a weird American guy babbling on about a Chihuahua and pretending to be 50 Cent, because he tells the whole story better than we do… DD
