50 Cent Accuses Liquor Brand of Embezzlement: 'I'm Not the One You Want to Play with'

50 Cent has accused Beam Suntory — the parent company of his alcohol brand — of embezzlement, which the company denied in an email statement on Tuesday.

After alleging that Beam Suntory — which distributes his alcohol brand Sire Spirits — was involved in an embezzlement scheme that nearly cost him millions of dollars, the actor/rapper, 48, shared an Instagram post on Monday that claimed the company would “pay for what they did." According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the "In Da Club" musician founder initially filed a complaint in February 2023 with the New York State Supreme Court, where he alleged that Beam Suntory was complicit in an embezzlement scheme. It is undisputed that we honored all prior obligations to Mr. Jackson and Sire Spirits, and it is very unfortunate that the parties involved continue to misrepresent the facts and misdirect blame in an attempt to recover fees and damages," it said.
