Messy: 50 Cent accused of theft and assault

50 Cents is being investigated by the police after his jeweler filed a complaint against him and his crew for theft and assault.

The owner of LAX Jewelry, Rober Marin, told TMZ that during fight weekend, he went to Las Vegas because he wanted to sell a watch and chain to 50 Cent. Both items were worth $250,000 and 50 Cent showed interest in buying them.

Marin said he met 50 Cent at Drai’s nightclub and they stayed there until early hours of Saturday then 50 Cent’s crew invited Marin to see Mayweather’s gym. Marin said two of 50 Cent’s guys pistol-whipped him, stole his jewelries and disappeared. The business man has filed a robbery report and Vegas police are investigating the case.

But then, 50 Cent’s people are saying that Marin is lying, that the stories about the robbery are false. His lawyer, Scott Leemon, said:

“On behalf of 50 Cent, I can adamantly deny that he or his security had anything to do with these baseless and false allegations.”
