Overview
- 50 Cent appeared by Zoom for a hearing Tuesday while Tia Kemp did not appear, and the court could not move to a permanent injunction because she had not been served.
- A temporary Florida order already limits Kemp’s contact with the rapper’s 14-year-old son by requiring her to stay 500 feet away and barring messages aimed at him, but those restrictions hinge on formal service of the papers.
- Separately, 50 Cent filed a federal defamation suit on October 26 in Los Angeles seeking at least $6 million, alleging Kemp made false statements about the child and caused emotional harm.
- Kemp has continued to post about the family on social media and 50 Cent says he secured some platform enforcement such as an Instagram Live suspension, keeping the dispute public while courts sort procedure.
- The next court date is set for December 7 and the case highlights practical hurdles in protecting a minor through courts, namely service rules, cross-jurisdiction filings, and limits on enforcing online speech.
