Rick Ross’ ex was “suicidal” after 50 Cent allegedly leaked sex tape
50 Cent and Rick Ross’ feud has mainly consisted of diss tracks and social media taunts. Over the years, the pair have exchanged numerous words online. However, concerning 50 Cent, it has always seemed to be an exercise of humour and done in jest without nefarious intent. That said, on the surface, it appeared that none of their careers were damaged permanently by their feud.
However, the feud didn’t just involve the two MCs, and one jab 50 Cent took at Ross indirectly involved his then-girlfriend, Lastonia Leviston. During the height of their battle, the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ creator allegedly bought and released a sex tape of Leviston, which had serious repercussions for her and her mental health over the long term.
During an episode of the new Netflix series W.A.G.s to Riches, Leviston unveiled that her ex-boyfriend before Rick Ross was the reason why the sex tape was even made public, as it was in his possession prior to 50 Cent’s.
Opening up on the Netflix series, Leviston detailed, “Long story short, my ex, the guy that was in the sex 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.”
However, she didn’t expect it to come out, and when she found out that she had become collateral damage in Rick Ross’ rap feud with 50 Cent, her entire life changed for the worse. Recalling her emotions when the tape was released, Leviston admitted, “In that second, my whole life changed.” She continued, “I became suicidal. Didn’t want to live anymore. I felt like I was damaged goods. [I felt] like no man would ever love me again. I felt like I had let my kids down tremendously.”
Lastonia Leviston and Rick Ross, unsurprisingly, split up shortly after the sex tape was released, but the two have a daughter. Revealing this on W.A.G.s to Riches, Leviston says, “My baby daddy is the one and only Rick Ross. Our daughter is 22 years old, but I left Ross when she was two years old.”
Following the release of the sex tape, Leviston filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent, and a jury ruled in her favour, meaning Fifty was forced to pay her $5million. Leviston has since been able to make peace with Rick Ross. However, she still feels that people continue to judge her based on her past.
She concluded, “I know people in the [show] could be looking at me differently. All because I was trying to show a man how much I loved him. This friend group could be extremely judgey.” Rick Ross has not publicly addressed the fallout of the Leviston sex tape. The rapper has just forged ahead with his. W.A.G.s to Riches is currently streaming on Netflix.
