50 Cent Trolls Floyd Mayweather Over $100M Lawsuit
- In May 2025, Floyd Mayweather initiated a $100 million defamation case in New York against Business Insider, its parent company, and reporter Daniel Geiger.
- The lawsuit arose after Business Insider published an article denying Mayweather's claim of purchasing a $402 million portfolio of 62 Manhattan apartment buildings.
- Mayweather asserts the article is knowingly false and damaged his real estate brand by causing lost lease opportunities and rent-freeze benefits.
- Mayweather said, "I'm 48 years old and I've never sued a media outlet," and his lawyer described the case as holding the press accountable for "calculated character assassination."
- Business Insider called the lawsuit meritless and pledged to vigorously defend its reporting, while Mayweather’s claim intensifies questions about his real estate dealings and reputation.
