50 Cent got taken for big bucks by an employee who secretly pocketed millions from the rapper’s champagne and cognac biz, according to court papers. <\/p>\n
The Queens-born rapper, whose given name is Curtis Jackson, launched his Branson Cognac in 2018 and Le Chemin du Roi, or The King’s Path, champagne in 2019, through his company, Sire Spirits. <\/p>\n
The booze doesn’t come cheap, with the cognac selling for $200 and up and the bubbly going for $150 or more. <\/p>\n
But the company’s director of Brand Management, Mitchell Green, was jacking up prices and getting kickbacks from wholesalers to the tune of $2.2 million in so-called \u201cagency fees,\u201d according to Manhattan Federal Court records. <\/p>\n
