In a surprising turn of events, 50 Cent, the creative force behind the renowned TV series “Power,” is facing a $1 billion lawsuit. The lawsuit is brought on by Cory Holland Sr., an alleged former drug kingpin better known by his street name “Ghost.” As reported by AllHipHop, Holland claims that the show extensively draws from his life without his consent. He maintains that the show’s plot originated from a variety of recordings he made almost 16 years ago, with the intention of discouraging youth from embracing a life of crime. Alleging that, over 100 scenes closely resemble his real-life experiences.
