50 Cent has settled an assault lawsuit filed against him earlier this year.
In January, photographer Guadalupe De Los Santos filed a civil lawsuit against the rapper, real name Curtis Jackson.
As part of the complaint, De Los Santos alleged he was deliberately knocked off his electric scooter by a member of Jackson’s entourage when he pulled up beside their car following a book signing in Los Angeles in September 2024.
De Los Santos sought damages from Jackson over the alleged incident.
Lawyers acting on behalf of the 50-year-old denied all claims against him.
But on Wednesday, editors at People reported that the case had been settled.
A motion filed this week confirmed that Jackson and De Los Santos “reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims” and were “in the process of drafting and executing the formal settlement agreement”.
No financial terms have been disclosed.
The update comes a month before a hearing was due to take place on the case.
Jackson is currently promoting his new project, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, on which he serves as an executive producer.
Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the four-part documentary chronicles Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s rise to fame, success as an entrepreneur, and fall from grace.
In July, the hip-hop star was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Three months later, Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison.
Sean Combs: The Reckoning will stream via Netflix from 2 December.
