50 Cent Files A Lawsuit Against Horror Film, "Skill House," To Halt It's Release Over No Compensatio

50 Cent is suing to stop the release of Skill House, a horror film he says exploits his name and image without permission. 




AllHipHop reports that the film and television mogul filed the lawsuit in April 2025 through his company, NYC Vibe, targeting producer Ryan Kavanaugh, Skill House Movie LLC, and GenTV LLC.




Jackson recently asked a Los Angeles court to block the film's July 11 release. He claims he never signed a contract to act in or produce the movie. Then, 50 claims he was never paid for his involvement. 




Discussions with Kavanaugh began in 2022. The two sides drafted a term sheet outlining Jackson's possible role. According to 50, the agreement was never finalized or signed.




Despite this, Jackson and his son Sire filmed scenes for the movie. He says he acted in good faith, trusting that a contract would follow. That never happened.
