50 Cent Fights to Keep Underwear Deal Confidential

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

Lawyers for the bankrupt 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, are asking for special permission to keep the full financial details of his briefs deal under wraps, the Wall Street Journal Bankruptcy Beat blog reported yesterday. The Frigo RevolutionWear brand underwear deal keeps Jackson associated “with the luxury end of the consumer market and provides [him] with a potential upside that will help pay back his creditors,” said his lawyers, who pointed out that the brand is also affiliated with celebs like ex-Yankees great Derek Jeter, Knicks star Carmelo Anthony and rapper Timbaland. At the risk of undersharing, Mr. Jackson’s lawyers gave Judge Ann Nevins full details on the product in their court-filed motion.
