LOS ANGELES— Rapper 50 Cent denies allegations he attacked his ex-girlfriend and trashed her condo.
The “In da Club” singer’s lawyer says there’s no warrant outstanding on the domestic violence and vandalism charges against 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.
If convicted, he faces up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.
