W.A.G.s to Riches: Lastonia’s lawsuit against 50 Cent revisited in light of recent comments

W.A.G.s to Riches premiered on Netflix on January 22, 2025. The 8-episode-long reality show centered around the lives of celebrity partners, documenting their navigation through motherhood, careers, and their high-profile relationships with athletes and musicians.

Lastonia Leviston is one such star who was featured on the show. She is one of rapper Rick Ross' former partners who welcomed a child together. Her name made headlines in the early 2000s when rapper 50 Cent allegedly leaked her intimate video, which led to her suing him for $15 million.

50 Cent reportedly released Lastonia's video to get back at his rival Rick Ross. She won the lawsuit in 2015, following which the court ordered the rapper to pay $5 million in damages.

During the Netflix reality show, Leviston went into detail about the scandal and its impact on her.

In episode 1 of W.A.G.s to Riches, Lastonia Leviston opened up to Alexis about her past relationship with Rick Ross and her beef with 50 Cent. She said when she saw Rick, it was love at first sight for her and thought of him as a "big teddy bear".

She stated that he was into videotaping their intimate moments and that she was okay with it because it was Rick's way of showing love. However, the W.A.G.s to Riches star was unaware of how the tape would impact her later in life.

Getting into the details of her breakup with the rapper, Lastonia shared that she found out about Rick's infidelity, which led her to oust his relationship with her to the woman he cheated with. Rick wasn't having it, so he broke up with Lastonia. Soon after they separated, Rick got into beef with 50 Cent.

She summarized the situation and revealed her ex was in the "s*x tape" and sold it to 50 Cent. She said the latter released it and termed his actions "petty."

"It still haunts me to this day," she added.

To take revenge, 50 Cent got hold of one of Lastonia's tapes and released it. Reflecting upon how she felt when the tape was released, Lastonia took to a W.A.G.s to Riches confessional and said:

"I became suicidal. I didn't wanna live anymore. I felt like I was damaged goods."
