Ex-Assistant Of “Power” Producer Says He Called 50 Cent The N-Word, In New Lawsuit

"[Emmett] is a real piece of sh*t," 50 remarked after hearing the allegations.

โ€œPowerโ€ producer Randell Emmett is being sued by a former personal assistant. The allegations consist of unlawful termination, harassment, racism and a hostile work environment. The 24-page claim complaint was filed by Martin Gโ€™Blae against the Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films co-founder, George Furla and the company.

An excerpt from the suit reads:

โ€œGโ€™Blae was unlawfully terminated due to his race, religion, and disability; in retaliation for requesting reasonable accommodations for his disability; in retaliation for complaining of racial harassment; in retaliation for complaining of unpaid wages; and complaining of and resisting numerous unlawful and unsafe activities and instructions.โ€

Gโ€™Blae also said Emmett used heinous slurs against celebrities like Cardi B and Quavo. In addition, he described the producerโ€™s reaction after reading 50 Centโ€™s book Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter where the rapper discussed Emmett in a harsh light:

โ€œOn or about August 7, 2020, after reading African American rapper 50 Centโ€™s book, which mentions EMMETT unfavorably, EMMETT got mad at 50 Cent and Gโ€™BLAE. He called 50 Cent, โ€œthis f***ing n****r,โ€ and then said to Gโ€™BLAE, โ€˜All you guys are alike. All you guys do is hustle people.โ€™ He then threw the book at Gโ€™BLAE. On information and belief, EMMETT was referring to African Americans as a racial group being โ€˜hustlers.โ€™โ€

Upon hearing details of the lawsuit, 50 took to social media to comment: โ€œThis does not surprise me this guy is a real piece of sh*t.โ€

Gโ€™Blae also described how inhumanely he was treated:

โ€œThroughout his employment with Defendants, EMMETT treated Gโ€™BLAE markedly worse than his non-African American coworkers. He was given more work to do than the other assistants and interns, and was regularly given the more degrading tasks, such as serving EMMETT food from a silver platter, cleaning up dog poop, and placing rose petals on a hotel bed for EMMETT and his then-fiancee. EMMETT further assaulted and battered Gโ€™BLAE, such as by throwing a water bottle and yanking him by the wrist. EMMETT did not do to others.โ€

The lawsuit requests a jury trial, but Emmett could agree to a private settlement.
