50 Cent has secured a temporary restraining order against Tia Kemp, the former longtime partner of Rick Ross, after accusing her of cyberstalking his 14-year-old son Sire Jackson.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a Florida judge issued the temporary injunction on Monday, ordering Kemp to stay at least 500 feet away from Sire and barring her from contacting him directly or indirectly, including through social media. The order also prohibits Kemp from possessing firearms or ammunition and requires her to surrender any weapons to law enforcement once she is served. The restrictions remain in effect until November 3, when both parties are scheduled to appear in court for a hearing that will determine whether a longer-term injunction is warranted.
Jackson filed the petition on his son’s behalf, claiming Kemp had repeatedly targeted the teenager online over a span of several days. The filing alleges that Kemp called Sire “slow,” claimed he was on the autism spectrum, and posted a photograph of the boy alongside a sexually explicit image of a woman that the complaint suggested was Sire’s mother, Daphne Joy. Attorneys for 50 Cent had previously sent Kemp a cease-and-desist letter demanding she remove the posts and stop discussing his son. She allegedly responded by sharing a portion of the letter online with the caption “F u and ya lawyers.”
The same day the Florida petition was filed, Jackson’s legal team initiated a separate federal lawsuit in California seeking at least $6 million in damages. That complaint includes claims of libel, false light invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and asks the court to order Kemp to take down the statements and refrain from repeating them. The California case focuses on alleged reputational and emotional harm, while the Florida proceeding addresses contact restrictions.
The legal moves followed a public dispute that began after reports that Kemp’s son with Rick Ross, 21-year-old William Roberts III, had been pistol-whipped near Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach earlier in October. A suspect was later charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. 50 Cent posted about the incident and the suspect’s charges, prompting Kemp to respond with posts criticizing Jackson and directing comments at Sire and Daphne Joy.
Since news of the temporary order circulated, Kemp has continued to address the situation on social media. She has referred to Jackson as a “rat” and “15 cents” in Instagram Stories and has said in videos that she will not be intimidated by his legal action. 50 Cent has posted that it is not acceptable to bully minors online, noting that young people have died by suicide over things said about them on the internet.
The temporary order does not constitute a final ruling on the underlying allegations. The November 3 hearing will determine whether the restrictions are extended, while the California lawsuit proceeds independently.
