50 Cent will not be called to testify as part of litigation against US basketball star Allen Iverson. The NBA player is in court for his alleged involvement in a brawl in a Washington bar back in 2005. Two other customers at that bar are suing Iverson and his entourage over allegations they were assaulted during the brawl, with one of the plaintiffs claiming Iverson himself hit him with a bottle. It had been thought Fiddy might be called to testify at the trial because he knows some of the security guards employed by Iverson who have been implicated in the fracas. However, a US federal judge ruled last week that Fiddy need not testify, agreeing with the rapper's lawyer who argued that as the hip hop star was not involved in the brawl nor named in the lawsuit it would be unfair to make him travel from Connecticut to Washington in order to testify.
