50 Cent Pleads to Judge – Don’t Disclose My Earnings of Vitamin Water

By: Antoinette Alston, contributing writer

50 Cent reportedly doesn’t want the judge to reveal the details of his contract with Coca-Cola concerning Vitamin Water in his ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.

Several lawsuits have been issued in the past year on 50 Cent, causing him to publicly file for bankruptcy.  50’s latest attempt for peace took place when he asked the judge in his case to not disclose his Vitamin Water deal to the public since “it would ruin future deals giving the company the upper hand in negotiations.”

In 2007, 50 Cent partnered with Glacéau, the company that makes Vitamin Water and was later bought by Coca-Cola, to design a drink called Formula 50. Coca-Cola reportedly gave Fif a sum of $100 million due to his initial contract with Glacéau. Coca-Cola then signed another contract with Fif to continue soliciting the Vitamin Water in his endorsement and promoter dealings. Apparently, a clause in the contract ordered Fif to not disclose his earnings between himself and Coca-Cola publicly.

The judge has not made his ruling on whether he should oblige 50’s request.
