Lestonia Leviston, the mother of rapper Rick Ross, is suing 50 Cent for releasing a sex tape and including himself on it to further fuel a beef between the two.

Leviston claims the tape has caused her emotional distress and maintains she never gave the G Unit CEO permission to use the tape in any shape, form or fashion.

In the video 50 is seen putting his acting skills to work as his alter ego “Pimpin’ Curly” gets some run. Curly refers to Leviston as Brooke the entire time while he more or less narrates the action for the viewer, stroke for stroke.

The edited tape was originally broadcast on 50s website subsidiary BOOBOO TV and was made in 2008, according to the lawsuit.

In related news, 50 Cent and Rick Ross recently ended their beef.

Rapper Rick Ross took to the cameras to share part of his morning as he celebrates his birthday in The Palms.

After washing the morning dew off of his beard he walks into the front room of a suite that has a customized bowling alley and since MTV is doing the filming, he issue a challenge to special reporter Sway to meet him at the lanes.

Sway gladly accepts the challenge and offers the winnings should go to the Haiti relief fund and/or to Florida residents originally from the now ravished country.

Moments later the Miami rapper takes to the pool table and the interviewer inquires about a chance meeting with Floyd Mayweather, to which Ross confirms and offers they “chopped it up like Gs.”

New year, new money… understandable, but how do you squash beef with a man that clowned you in the presence of your kids?

XXL recently unveiled their May 2009 issue, which bore the grill of Miami rapper Rick Ross in a pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses… well, sort of. The shades, according to the luxury designer’s spokespeople, are fake. Not a good look for Ross, who’s been under fire since it was discovered he was a corrections officer in a former life.

Ross has yet to comment on the matter, but a full transcript of the letter LV sent XXL is below. Ironically, the story related to the May cover is Ross’ first open admission about the CO claims.

LETTER INSIDE

Trick Daddy has never been known to hold his tongue and this spontaneous interview with Angela Yee is no exception. He calls in and goes off on Trina, Rick Ross and others, allowing that he raised them through rhyme and influence. At the height of his initial spill, Trick rips into hip hop culture.

“I have a problem with that word (hip hop),” he said. “What’s that mean? I have to follow trends? I have to start wearing tight shirts?”

While little to no one will dispute Rick Ross’ ability to make good music, others have found his verbal sparring skills, exhibited via the back and forth feud with G-Unit’s head honcho 50 Cent, unfavorable – a large majority of popular opinion siding with the marketing guru who single handedly ruined the career of Ja Rule. Nonetheless, Ross, who recently released his third album, Deeper Than Rap, is intent on frying a new fish.

In a recent interview with MTV News, Ross claimed victory over his Queens, New York counterpart and moved to challenge Eminem.

“I mean I’m a fan of Eminem,” Ross explained. (continue reading…)
