About a month ago Taco Bell released a letter addressed to 50 in which the company suggested he change his name for a day to "79 Cent," "89 Cent" or "99 Cent" in order to gain promotion for their value menus."We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to 'Think Outside the Bun' and hope you accept our offer." A rep stated when contacting Fiddy.
Curtis told them to kick rocks, and Taco Bell, without obtaining 50's authorization made him the star and focus of its nationwide advertising campaign by using his name, persona and trademark to promote Taco Bell's business and products, so now, Mr. Jackson is suing Taco Bell.
Its bad enough they try to pass off that crap as food, now they want us to associate it with lyrics about getting shot? And if they really wanted him to do it, they should've put Vitamin Water on the menu!!!
