50 Cent is not letting go of TraxNYC’s sales antics, which infringed on his trademark, to promote knock-off chains. 50 wants the popular jeweler to pay for using his name and image without permission. TMZ first broke the story of 50 Cent’s perceived interest in TranxNYC but it was not for a good cause. The “Power” producer wanted to follow through with his words of making the jeweler regret his actions. This was because the perpetrator had been using his name to make sales. This is misleading for the G-Unit rapper as he isn’t affiliated with the brand. So he slammed him with a lawsuit. But the jeweler took to social media to seek forgiveness.
50 Cent Battles TraxNYC in Court Over Jewelry Ad Exploiting His Name
For some weeks now, notable jeweler TranxNYC has farmed traffic online and probably sales off 50 Cent’s name. It all began in August when the jewelry maker spotted a customized cross on the Candy Shop’s star. He decided to do a remake of the timeless piece. At the same time, Maksud Agadjani emphasized that he simply jocked the style off to get some knockoff chains.
Agadjani’s remake was a showoff of diversity in colors while he maintained the designs. The TranxNYC owner assured fans that his inspiration was from 50 by constantly showing pics of the rapper wearing a cross-chain.
At first, the 49-year-old issued a stern warning via Instagram. He even told the jeweler that he could regret the idea. However, Agadjani thought lightly of these words. He even teased the rapper stating that he should focus on other things.
Just a few days ago, the entrepreneur went on about his new 50-cent-inspired designs. This time, he showed his audience an image of 50 rocking his custom piece with Drake next to him. Without holding back, the TranxNYC creator teased 50, asking him to be a jeweler or reach out to the company. Unfortunately, the celebrity did reach out but it was for a court fight. The 21 Questions crooner wants the judge to stop TranxNYC while seeking $5 million in damages.
