50 Cent charged with violence against ex-girlfriend
Curtis Jackson -- known professionally as the rapper 50 Cent -- was accused by a prosecutor Wednesday of kicking a woman and ransacking her bedroom during an argument at her Los Angeles condo last month.
Jackson, 37, faces five criminal charges, including one count of domestic violence and four counts of vandalism, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer said.
The woman, who lived in the Toluca Lake community, was identified only as the rapper's "former girlfriend."
"The female had previously been in a three-year relationship with Jackson and they have a child in common," the news release said. She was injured when Jackson kicked her, it said.

And there are women willing to date this guy who raps about violence and rape culture and thug lifestyle? Some examples:
"Bitch choose with me, I'll have you stripping in the street/Put my other hoes down, you get your ass beat" --Lyrics from 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P."
"Shorty hips is hypnotic, she moves it so erotic/Girl watch, I'm like bounce that ass girl" --From the song "Disco Inferno"
"Your little sister calling you stupid, reason why?/Her and your momma in the living room now hogtied" --From the song "Ski Mask Way"
And in the Tony Yayo song "So Seductive", 50 Cent sings in the chorus: "Shorty so seductive dancing on me/The way that she move is making me horny/If I wake up next to her in the morning/I'mma turn her over and tell her lets do it again"
Here are rap songs that actually RESPECT women:
"Daughters" by Nas
"I Used To Love H.E.R." by Common (remember when right wingers were complaining about White House Poetry Night?)
"Dear Mama" by Tupac
"You Got Me" by the Roots featuring Erykah Badu
"Never Been in Love" by Talib Kweli
