>> 50 Cent recently filed a right of publicity lawsuit which I hadn't
heard of before, I'm not famous for that.
So against a celebrity plastic surgeon for
insinuating that she performed penis enlargement surgery on him.
Let's go to some details of this.
According to a lawsuit,
50 Cent filed against celebrity aesthetician Angela Kogan on Friday.
This all got started during a trip he took to Miami where he happened
to be in the proximity of Kogan's MedSpa.
She happened think about that part, don't forget.
He happened to be in the proximity.
She asked him to take a photo with her in her office and he agreed, assuming that
she was a fan who I wanted the picture exclusively for her own private enjoyment.
Then Kogan and her company, Perfection Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa posted
the photo on her Instagram accounts which collectively have 425,000 followers.
Along with the caption, thank you 50 Cent for quote,
stopping by the number one med spa in Miami.
That's what she wrote, here's that photo that she posted there with him.
Chalking up a couple deuces, having a good time.
He hung out, 50 Cent claims that in doing so,
Kogan by posting that picture there with that caption implied that he had actually
gotten work done there when in reality, that never happened.
So again, fast forward to two years later, the Shade Room, they published an article
about the rising popularity of penile enhancement procedures.
The only person quoted was Kogan who the Shade Room noted, quote, has an extensive
clientele of celebrities including Teyana Taylor, 50 Cent, Odell Beckham and more.
So also in the thumbnail image, this is again, back to the Shade Room.
They used the photo that Kogan posted there with 50 Cent's side
by side with the photo someone undergoing a penile enhancement procedure.
That was obscured by this eggplant emoji there, as well.
So that was even more insinuation from the Shade Room,
which got 50 Cent has got his feathers all ruffled.
And so this is what his lawsuits in states that implication was clear.
He said, he had gotten that they had said that he'd got his penis enlarged
Kogan's med spa.
He's suing her for misappropriating his image without consent and
false advertising among several other claims, but
Kogan say that 50 Cent has this whole thing backwards.
This is her defense.
50 Cent received services, she did say which originally he said, he just kinda
hung out and stumbled in front of the front door at that med spa and
her attorney wrote in a statement just not of the penile variety.
Instead of charging 50 Cent for whatever work he had done, they said that Kogan had
asked if she could post a photo of the two of them on her and
her company socials and 50 Cent agreed to that.
Kogan never said or insinuated that 50 Cent had undergone a penile enhancement
procedure and that was all the Shade Room's doing.
I think that's pretty obvious that, that's what was happening there and
there was one entertainment attorney that was talking advice and he said that 50
Cent's lawyers are being too vague about his interaction with Kogan.
But he thinks that if the story is gonna be accurate that they might have actually
a good case here against her for posting that picture saying he stopped by.
She didn't say anything else and I know nothing about med spot.
If I saw the picture, I wouldn't make that assumption until the Shade Room said so.
>> Yeah, so I think I've solved this mystery.
But first, I'd like to note that poor Odell Beckham, Jr.
collateral damage in this story on the underside of a bus.
I don't know if he's gonna sue to or not.
But all right, so in the beginning, I have no idea who's telling the truth or not.
The first clue is well, 50 Cent is suing and
truth is a defense against defamation claims.
And so that is not exactly defamation,
cuz he's saying that you're using my likeness to profit off of it.
So it's a little bit different.
But still in a lawsuit, there's depositions,
there's a discovery, there's as Alex Jones found out.
There's a lot of things that get discovered.
And if you had that surgery, you'd almost certainly find out, right?
So that makes it a less penile is just the dumbest guy alive and
I don't think he's Kanye.
So I think that he probably didn't, okay?
Otherwise, soon is a disaster.
So that's 0.1.
0.2 is I was just walking by the spa and then I happened to run into her and
then I took a bit, nah, you're not in the street, you're in the spa next to her.
Her spa side is behind you.
She's in her medical gear, right?
And plus, I know Miami as 166 in Collins,
ain't nobody walking by 166 Street.
You're walking by South Beach, okay?
But you're not walking by 166 if you're fitty.
If you're a regular person, sure, right?
You're 50 Cent, you found your, look at this med spa.
I happen to be walking by in a Rando place in Miami, okay?
So no, he got something done there.
I'm leaning towards, but not penis enhancement.
I don't know, we're all guessing and none of us wanna actually find out.
But at the end of the day, her story seems to make more sense and
it looks like the Shade Room was way more guilty.
From the public, she never said that she did that surgery on him.
She just said, he came to the spot where they do a lot of different surgeries.
>> Yeah, I mean, cuz here's where I'm at, I'm just gonna be real.
I feel like as a society, especially when it comes to celebrity.
But in general,
we have too much of a willingness to police other people's bodies.
And when it comes to this, like look, if you're a medical facility even if you're
a really big fan, you have a celebrity coming in,
you should get express written consent and the reason for that.
I think it's pretty simple.
Because even just applying that somebody has gone to a particular doctor,
it could be a violation of their medical privacy and it didn't seem like she was
implying that he had gotten any like penis enlargement surgery or anything like that.
But ultimately, you should get something in writing if you're a medical provider,
right, and you're doing like some sort of service for a celebrity.
And even just stories like that like speculating about whether or
not somebody's getting one surgery or another, ultimately,
it just feels like really invasive.
People get different surgeries for different reasons and
it's sort of weird to like speculate about this, and
it's especially weird for medical facility to post a picture like that.
Now, I totally understand why you take a private photo like share with your friends
and say like, my God, can you believe I just met 50 Cent?
It's like so wild.
But if you're gonna put something on social media like publicly on your
business page,
that just feels like something that you really wanna get in writing beforehand.
Because even if it is, he said, she said about whether or
not he said it's okay to put it on the socials.
It's a higher standard if you're a medical facility.
Like if you're 50 Cent and you walk into a burger shop and
the burger shop owner takes a picture of you even if you don't know about it,
you're in their burger shop and that's just gonna happen being a celebrity.
But it just gets really, really dicey.
Because I mean, especially as a transwoman myself in the middle of transitioning,
I maybe don't want everybody in the world to be like constantly scrutinizing like
everything that I'm doing medically right.
And I think we should afford people who are even in
the public eye like a certain degree of like medical privacy,
even when it comes to just what facilities are going to.
>> Okay, come to think of it.
I have a bunch of stories about my own life that relate to this including meeting
50 Cent, which I'll tell you what that is just really kind of hilarious.
>> You've been to med spot, Cenk?
But that's what I was gonna start with, right, but I just happened to be walking.
>> [LAUGH] >> No,
I went to this restaurant called the yoga restaurant, okay?
It's because it was for the younger people in China.
And so it was an ethnic restaurant.
It's actually by my mother in law's house and I walk in, I order and then I give,
for some reason.
I give my credit card and the guy saw my name Cenk Uygur, right?
And he's like, he's like, you're the Cenk Uygur, okay?
And he's like I gotta take a picture with you and
I'm gonna put it up on the wall and I was like, okay, God bless.
Thank you for watching or whatever, right?
And I'm like why are you this excited?
He's like don't you get it?
Every Uygur that Google's the Uygur ounger people first gets your name, right?
So you know the weakers in in China,
he's like every one of them types in weaker or Uygyur and they get you.
So you're like the most famous person in the Uygur community and
that's like millions of people in the world.
Not the last name, the the actual people, the Turkish people that live in China.
But if he was doing penis enlargement in the back like wait,
I didn't sign up for that.
What do we do it?
I just not that kind of kebab.
So Ben is 100%, I don't know.
If you're gonna do this type of very private thing,
you got to get written consent.
There's no question about it.
Okay, so I'll save the 50 Cent store, go ahead.
Go ahead, John.
>> Isn't the skin care or something?
if you go generally, I wouldn't even know what else.
I thought it's a skincare location or whatever kind of work she does, or
she helps you out with whatever kind of blemishes and stuff.
So the assumption can only be made once the Shade Room then said so.
And who knew, Cenk, that you're now the biggest Turkish name out there and
then you have to get some enhancements still at the same time.
By the way, though,
there was some one small thing before you tell your 50 Cent store.
Because Vivica a fox, his his ex did have a 50 Cent story and
she was referring to Ms. Angela Kogan.
She says, Angela, you lying?
She was talking about this.
That's all I'm gonna say.
That's one thing I know that's true is 50 didn't have to get no enhanced him,
he's good.
She added that this is a rare instance where she and 50 agree.
Listen, I'm with him on that one.
I'm with him when he's right on that one.
No, it's all good.
So apparently, he had a bit of a messy breakup is what I'm assuming from the fact
that she's saying I'm with him on this.
So she's backing him up.
So all the rumors can start stop swirling and
maybe he can drop this lawsuit,cuz I think Kogan didn't do much wrong.
I gotta be honest.
>> Yeah, what's that about the Fox guarding the hen house, but
this would be a different kind of chicken.
Anyways, part of the reason I'm doing this story is because it's a sign of the times.
Look at us, we're discussing the penis size of a guy named 50 Cent, okay?
And that's because America is obsessed with fame is one of
the largest stories today, right?
And so we're like, how big is their junk?
Did they change their junk?
Did they keep their junk?
What did they do, right?
And here, we are having a serious debate about it.
So welcome to America.
Welcome to 2022.
And so to be fair to America, it's the whole world over which then leads to
the final story which is a funny story about celebrity.
So I used to be with CA.
There's three major agencies in the media business and
they're one of them and I got to see my agent, I'm downstairs.
The CAA has tons of incredibly famous people.
I remember when I first signed with them,
I was like, look at me coming up in the world.
Okay, so I had a meeting with my agent.
I'm downstairs, I'm waiting for my car to get pulled up or something and
a car pulls up and 50 Cent comes out of it and he comes straight to me and
goes, hey, how you doing?
I was like, whoa, that's cool.
And then we get into a conversation and then he asked me about my YouTube channel.
I'm like this holy cow, this 50 Cent notice this is great,
this is a while back, right?
And then he's like, your YouTube channel is larger than mine, man.
I gotta get tips from you.
And I'm like, all right, just the tip though.
>> And then you got that spot for
the rest of it.
I don't know if that was pre or post.
Anyway, and then finally, I couldn't help myself,
because I was like this is great beauty, but I did curiosity.
Did you already know the young Turks or why did you come up to me?
And said, no, no, no, Robert Redford's right behind you and
I'm just waiting to talk to him, but he knew he still knew.
Yeah, so I looked back.
And of course, Robert reference right there.
I'm like, of course, okay, and that right there is LA.
And by the way, all of our obsession with fame including mine.
I mean, I still think that's a great story.
I met 50 Cent, Robert Redford was behind me.
That was a good day in America for me.
>> [LAUGH] >> And you
had no idea Redford was behind you.
>> And by the way, final piece of evidence that at 50 Cent might be telling
the truth, cuz he stumbles into people randomly all the time.
>> Hey, truth.
I saw Dave Chappelle sitting on the corner once just smoking a cigarette.
Sometimes they do celebrities, they're just like us.
