50 Cent & Tony Yayo Hit With Lawsuit For Assault On Teenager printer friendly version Send this story to a friend!

The mother of a teenage boy who claims her son was assaulted by G-Unit's Tony Yayo has filed a lawsuit against the rapper.

As reported earlier, Yayo was arrested in March 2007 on assault and harassment  charges for allegedly smacking the 14 year old son of  The Game’s manager (Jimmy ‘Henchman’ Rosemond) on a New York street.

The boy, James Rosemond, claimed Yayo and his entourage approached him and attacked him for wearing a shirt bearing the logo of Czar Entertainment, the management company owned by his father.

Lowell Fletcher, who was with Yayo during the incident, admitted to hitting the teenager and claimed Yayo pulled him away from the boy. Fletcher stressed that Yayo didn’t touch the boy.

Fletcher would receive a nine moth sentence while Yayo plead guilty to non criminal harassment and was ordered to perform 10 days of community service.

According to The New York Daily News, James Rosemond's mother, Cynthia Reed, filed the lawsuit against Yayo this week.  The lawsuit also targets Fletcher, several record companies and 50 Cent.

50 Cent was not present during the assault and was not charged.

“It's hard to believe that a 14-year-old boy walking on E. 25th St. at 6 in the evening was attacked by four adult males just because of the shirt he was wearing,” said Richard Reich, James' lawyer.

Benjamin Brafman, 50’s lawyer, responded to the lawsuit saying Reed is looking for “a quick payday”.

The amount being sought by Reed in the lawsuit was not revealed.
