Rapper 50 Cent was suing Taco Bell claiming the US fast food chain used his name and image without permission in an advertising campaign. New York court papers say the advert features the star being encouraged to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. The rapper is accusing the chain of diluting the value of his good name. The advertisement is part of Taco Bell's Why Pay More campaign, which promotes items for under a dollar.
