What did 50 Cent’s filing say against Daphne Joy?
On May 6, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson filed a suit in Texas against his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy, whose real name is Daphne Narvaez. As per People, the rapper claims that Narvaez accused him on her Instagram on the same day when the reports of him seeking custody of his son came out, following a March lawsuit, in which producer Rodney Jones alleged that she was a 'sex worker’.
Blank Rome’s Renna Jain, who is Jackson's attorney, told People, “Despite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a 'rapist.'"
As per the publication, the rapper's filing says that Narvaez purposefully accused Jackson of rape and physical abuse during their prior relationship.
The documents say that she did this in order to destroy Jackson’s personal and business reputation, harm his commercial and business interests, affect his custody case in a negative way, and prevent the rapper from seeing his 11-year-old son that he shared with Narvaez. The documents claimed Narvez’s accusations are “false.”
The Baby By Me’s rapper filing also stated that he along with his attorneys gave Narvaez “multiple opportunities” to rectify or withdraw her statements. When she failed to do that, the rapper took action to, "vindicate his rights and protect his reputation.”

She wrote, “Tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned. Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me.”
