50 Cent breaks silence on Will Smith being sued by ex-violinist

Will Smith faces a lawsuit from a former tour violinist alleging retaliation, prompting a public reaction from 50 Cent

Rapper and media mogul 50 Cent has publicly reacted to a lawsuit filed against actor and musician Will Smith by former tour violinist Brian King Joseph.

The civil complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges wrongful termination and sexual harassment during Smith’s “Based on a True Story” music tour.

Joseph claims that in March 2025, while staying at a Las Vegas hotel during the tour, he discovered evidence of an unauthorized entry into his room, including a handwritten note, someone else’s HIV medication, and personal items. After reporting the incident to hotel and tour staff, Joseph alleges he was confronted by Smith’s associates and dismissed from the tour. The lawsuit seeks personal and financial damages.

Although Smith has not publicly commented, his attorney denied the allegations, calling them “false, baseless, and reckless,” and vowed to vigorously defend him.

50 Cent took to Instagram to share a screenshot of the news report and offer his reaction. The G-Unit mogul wrote, “WTF is going on, I got a movie I want Will for, this fool just mad he got fired,” expressing support for Smith and highlighting his readiness to work with the actor in future projects.
