Slowbucks Holds Press Conference, Threatens To Sue (Video)

Slow of Slowbucks and his lawyer held a press conference earlier today where he says he will be investigating 50 Cent and his crew following an incident at Summer Jam where he got jumped on stage. Slow’s lawyer is also looking in to the theft of Slow’s chain, and says that 50 lied in his recent interview with Angie Martinez where he says he had no knowledge of Slow being jumped. One thing he failed to mention is why Slow was on stage in the first place, even though he was told by both Ebro and Pecas NOT to be there.

According to Civil Investgator John P Bostany, he is conducting an investigation on multiple parties involved in assault and chain theft of Slowbucks over the claim of brand dilution. While there is no lawsuit currently in place, Bostany alleges that the motivation for the action was to stop Slowbucks’ brand from being competition:

“They know he is the founder of Slowbucks, the #1 urban brand on the rise today. They want to hurt that brand and they are trying to hurt that brand we are going to put and end to that. We’re here, I’m a Trademark attorney, I’m a copyright attorney and I fight unfair competition.”

Bostany states that 50 Cent lied to Angie Martinez last night (June 4th) during his interview that he had no knowledge of an assault and robbery taking place. According to Bostany, the proof is in the footage:

“I looked at the videos and I heard 50′s interview on [Hot] 97 by Angie, who did an excellent job. Questioning him and I heard his responses and his demeanor. If you look at him he says ‘oh I was looking at the crowd.’ I didn’t know what was going on behind me. I  was happy that day.’ But if you look at him when he’s telling that story, he doesn’t look happy. He doesn’t look like he want to talk about it. If you look at the videos, every single one, whether he’s the one picking up the chain or not is irrelevant. His body is facing what’s going on and the he turns around, in the middle of it all, and faces the crowd.”

While Bostany does not state an exact financial compensation he is seeking for this potential legal action says Slowbucks is taking this route in order to send a message:

“He had the courage and the strength to come here and remind everyone that no matter how rich or powerful some might become, how popular they may be, they still are not above the law.”

This press conference doesn’t do anything but make Slowbucks the laughing stock of hip hop…for the second week in a row. People take L’s, chains get snatched, it’s a part of hip hop culture. When you’re told not to get on stage with G-Unit and you do it anyway, you kind of set yourself up for this sort of thing. Ashanti has to come get her sister’s man. This is embarrassing.
