50 Cent LawsuitI LOST 'Cause I'm Black

50 Cent says he got SCREWED in court recently
because the judge was a rap-hating RACIST ... and
now he wants the allegedly bias ruling overturned ...
this according to court docs. Earlier this year 50 and
company called Sleek Audio were embroiled in a
bitter lawsuit. 50 claimed Sleek owed him over
$261,000. Sleek said otherwise. The case went to
arbitration -- a binding process in which an arbitrator
picks the winner. Bad news for 50, the arbitrator
sided with Sleek (the final $$$ judgement was kept
under wraps). But 50 refuses to go gently into that
good night ... and is taking the battle to federal court
-- claiming the arbitration judge discriminated
against him because he's black, associates with
controversial African-American figures AND because
he's a high profile rap artist. Specifically ... 50 says
the bias ran so deep the judge didn't allow him to
cross-examine witnesses and refused to look at
evidence pertaining to the case. Pretty bold claims.
He wants the award axed ASAP and is asking for a
new hearing ... where he says he'll prove the judge
was out to get him from the get go. Sleek fired back
too ... claiming 50's allegations of racism are a
desperate attempt to avoid the arbitration decision
and get it brought before an actual court.
