W.A.G.s to Riches star Lastonia "Stoni" Leviston, a fashion entrepreneur and mother, shared her story about a s*x tape scandal from the early 2010s. The scandal involved rapper 50 Cent, who allegedly leaked the tape online. She is the ex-girlfriend of rapper Rick Ross, with whom 50 Cent had a long-standing feud.

Stoni discussed her past relationship with Ross during a conversation with fellow W.A.G.s to Riches cast member Alexis Welch Stoudemire in episode 1. She revealed that she and Ross had not been together since their daughter was two years old. She explained that after breaking up with Ross, she started dating another guy who reportedly liked to record their intimate moments.

She claimed that, although she did not feel comfortable with it, he would often pull out his camera without asking. Things took a turn when he started cheating on her, and she confronted him about it. This led to a feud between Stoni's ex-boyfriend and Rick Ross, which escalated when 50 Cent got involved. She claimed that her ex-boyfriend sold the s*x tape to 50 Cent, who then leaked it online.

"Long story short, my ex, the guy that was in the s*x tape, he’s bitter. So he actually goes and sells the tape to 50 Cent. And then 50 Cent released it… it’s petty and it still haunts me to this day," said Stoni.

Stoni and Alexis discussed their dating lives, where the former shared her challenges, citing her complicated past with Rick Ross, her daughter's father. Although they welcomed their daughter Toie in 2002, she left Ross when Toie was just two. Stoni reportedly lives in a house owned by Ross in the present, which she described as a "luxury prison".

The W.A.G.s to Riches star reflected on how Ross won her over initially, but their relationship took a difficult turn.

"I don’t even know how that fat boy wooed me off my feet, but he did. I went home with him the first night. I thought I was his Lil Kim and he was my Biggie," claimed Stoni.

She also expressed that this experience continued to affect her. Later, she brought up the s*x tape scandal, which damaged her relationship with Ross.

Stoni filed a lawsuit in 2010 after a video of her and a former partner was posted online. The video had 50 Cent as the narrator and was reportedly shared without her permission. Stoni claimed 50 Cent got the video from her ex-partner and uploaded it online. In 2015, a jury ruled in Stoni's favor, ordering 50 Cent to pay her $5 million.

The lawsuit had serious consequences for 50 Cent, who filed for bankruptcy. He also tried to shift the blame to Rick Ross, accusing him of leaking the full video online first. However, Ross's lawyer denied this claim, saying 50 Cent was just trying to avoid responsibility. In W.A.G.s to Riches, Stoni broke down in tears as she shared with Alexis the impact the s*x tape scandal had on her life.

She reportedly became suicidal and felt worthless, believing no one would ever love her again. She also felt guilty for letting her children down.
