Teairra Marie’s Boyfriend Denies Leaking Sex Tape in 50 Cent Revenge Porn Lawsuit
Former Love & Hip Hop star Teairra Marí is suing 50 Cent after she alleges he shared a sexually explicit video of herself on his Instagram account. Teairra claims the rapper got the sex tape from her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad — who hacked her social media account and posted the footage without her permission. Now, her ex is coming forward to deny the allegations.
"I had nothing to do with leaking this tape and I am now in the process of filing a counter lawsuit against her for defamation of character because she knows that I didn’t do this," he told Hollywood Life. "I’m working with my own lawyers to clear my name. I don’t know how 50 plans to handle this but I’ll do whatever I need to clear him too because he had nothing to do with this."
In a press conference with her lawyer Lisa Bloom, Teairra explained how the video, which shows "ejaculate" on her face was posted to her account by Akbar after she caught him cheating on her. Despite Teairra taking the clip down, she claims in court documents obtained by The Blast that 50 reposted the material on his page, which is followed by more than 18 million users, and applied a black-and-white filter to color contrast the semen on her face — in an attempt to further embarass her.
50 Cent also captioned the photo "get the strap," which she believes is a possible message to his fans to harm her. This is not the first time 50 Cent is being accused of posting revenge porn. In 2016, the Power star was sued by fellow rapper Rick Ross' baby mama Lastonia Leviston after he posted a sex tape of her on his website and social media. She was awarded $7 million for the slut-shaming incident.

"I stand here in the pursuit of justice," Teairra said in her press conference. "Not just for myself but for any other woman who has been exploited by a man, who has felt the pain of having her most intimate moments unjustly and illegally exposed to the public. I ask that the court take my plea seriously and that my rights as a woman under the revenge porn laws be protected."
