Rapper 50 Cent has settled his lawsuit against an engineering firm over repairs and renovations to a Connecticut mansion he bought from boxer Mike Tyson in 2003, a court official said yesterday.
Details were not released, and lawyers would not comment.
The case went to trial Tuesday, when the entertainer testified his lawyers hired BVH Integrated Services to inspect the property before he bought it.
He said that BVH came back with an estimate of about $500,000 for needed repairs, but that he ended up spending $6 million.
BVH’s lawyer said the cost was higher because 50 Cent wanted “extravagant and costly upgrades.”
50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, put the mansion up for sale in 2007 for $18.5 million and allowed the MTV show “Cribs” to film an episode to show off the details of the 19-bedroom, 37-bathroom property.
The home includes a recording studio and a nightclub that features a swing dangling from the ceiling.
There were no buyers, and 50 Cent said the house is no longer for sale.
