50 Cent has reportedly settled his lawsuit against website The Shade Room over its claims that he had had penis enlargement surgery.

The rapper had filed suits last year against both The Shade Room and Miami Plastic Surgery owner Angela Kogan.

50 Cent, real name Curtis James Jackson III, claims that Kogan took a photo with him and 'implied' he had come to her clinic for penis enhancement surgery.

Two years after she first shared the photo with 50 Cent, Kogan was quoted by The Shade Room in a story about the 'rise in plastic surgery for men'.

The article included a thumbnail image of Kogan's photo with Jackson, and an image of a man receiving penis enhancement surgery covered with a 'euphemistic' eggplant emoji'.

The Shade Room then shared the story with its 27.7 million social media followers.

According to The Daily Mail, 50 Cent has now reached a settlement agreement with The Shade Room, though it's unclear how much he'll receive from the blog.

The 'In Da Club' musician is still suing Kogan for posting the photo of him in the first place and implying that he ever had the surgery.

Jackson's lawsuit claims that Kogan took the photo with him 'under false pretences', as he thought he was posing with a fan, and 'falsely implied in several online publications that Jackson was their plastic surgery client.'

His complaint argued that Kogan's claims have caused 'substantial damage to his professional and personal reputation,' arguing that he 'never' received 'such a sexual enhancement procedure, or any plastic surgery from Kogan.

Kogan's legal team has argued that 50 Cent would have known he wasn't posing with a fan for the photo - since it was clearly taken 'in Kogan's' office, next to Kogan in her role as a businesswoman/aesthetician.'

According to a statement from Kogan's attorney, the plastic surgeon offered him her services free of charge, in exchange for a photo of the two of them together to post on her company's socials.

They also deny that Kogan has in any way implied that Jackson had the penis enhancement procedure - though they do argue that 50 did 'receive services' at her clinic.

50's ongoing legal battle comes amid his claim that he has spent approximately $23 million on legal fees since 2003.

"The only thing someone in America can do is sue someone,” he told interviewer Brian J Roberts.

"They’re gonna sue and there's always gonna be pro-bono or say, ‘We’ll defend you for 30 percent of what we receive off of this because we do see a case.’"

UNILAD has reached out to 50 Cent for comment.
