50 Cent Allegedly To Pay Photographer Over Assault

50 Cent has allegedly been ordered to pay a fee to an American photographer, over claims he was assaulted by one of the rapper's security guards several years ago.

The assault on Jim Alcorn is said to have happened in Manhattan during 2003 after 50 left a jewellery store.

Alcorn then launched a lawsuit the following year against the rapper himself (although he was not directly involved in the incident). The case claimed the photographer was hit on the head and also pushed to the street.

Rumours are now suggesting 50 Cent has been forced to pay him an undisclosed fee, however a spokesperson has remained tight-lipped, only saying: "It's a legal issue that's been settled."
