Bryce Hall is furious at 50 Cent for trying to shut down Skillhouse and now, he wants to settle it with fists—not lawyers.
The TikTok star-turned-actor didn’t hold back after a judge tossed out 50 Cent’s attempt to block the horror flick’s release. Hall, who stars in the movie, went off on the rapper and even challenged him to a boxing match.
“He tried to hold (them) hostage,” Hall said. “We beat 50 in court. I’d do it in the ring too.”
And just to make sure nobody missed the smoke, Hall posted “Smoking on that 50 pack” on Instagram, He’s not exactly being subtle.
The drama started when 50 CEnt, real name Curtis Jackson, sued GenTV and producer Ryan Kavanaugh in March. He claimed the movie used his name, face and rep without locking in a real deal or cutting him a check. He also said the movie was hyped up using his brand and that GenTV was stepping on the toes of his own streaming platform, “50 Cent Action.”
According to the lawsuit, 50 and his son Sire shot scenes for the film back in 2022, thinking a contract was on the way. That never happened. So he hit them with a $5 million lawsuit for trademark infringement, false advertising and unfair competition.
But the judge wasn’t buying it.
On July 3, a federal court ruled that 50 Cent didn’t show enough legal grounds to block the movie’s release, so Skillhouse is premiering July 11th in theatres nationwide on July 11.
