A Florida judge has granted 50 Cent a temporary injunction against Tia Kemp, Rick Ross' ex, ordering her to stay away from his 14-year-old son, Sire, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The order is temporary. It runs until a Nov. 3 hearing, where a judge will decide whether longer-term restrictions are warranted, and it is not a finding that Kemp did anything wrong.

What the order says

According to TMZ, the judge issued the injunction Monday, Oct. 26. It requires Kemp to stay at least 500 feet from Sire and bars her from contacting him directly or indirectly, including through social media. Hollywood Unlocked reported the restriction also covers contact through other people or any other method.

The order also bars Kemp from possessing firearms or ammunition, and TMZ reported she must surrender any weapons she has to law enforcement once she is served. TMZ, Hollywood Unlocked and Baller Alert reported the same core terms; Baller Alert attributed them to the court documents obtained by TMZ. None of the coverage names the judge or gives a case number.

What the petition alleges

50 Cent, whose legal name is Curtis Jackson, filed the petition on Sire's behalf on Monday in Miami-Dade County, TMZ reported in its first story on the case. Sire is identified only by his initials in the court papers.

The petition alleges Kemp targeted the teenager in four separate online publications over six days, according to TMZ. iHeart, citing TMZ, described them as posts shared across four platforms. The filing alleges that in an Oct. 25 interview, Kemp called Sire "slow" and said he "can't talk." Billboard, reporting on the separate federal lawsuit, said Kemp made the "slow" and "can't talk" remarks in a red carpet interview. None of the coverage names the event or the outlet that conducted the interview. The petition also takes issue with a post pairing Sire's photo with a degrading image, according to TMZ.

Jackson says his attorneys sent Kemp a cease-and-desist letter before going to court. The petition alleges she answered by posting part of the letter with the caption "F u and ya lawyers," TMZ reported.

Jackson argued the conduct caused his son humiliation, embarrassment and mental anguish, and that it would continue unless the court stepped in, according to TMZ and Hollywood Unlocked. These are allegations in a petition. Kemp has not been found liable for anything.

A second case in federal court

The Florida petition is one of two cases filed Monday. Billboard reported that Jackson's attorneys also sued Kemp, whose legal name is Tiallondra Kemp, on Sire's behalf in Los Angeles federal court. Billboard reported the suit accuses her of defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeks at least $6 million in damages. Complex, which viewed the complaint, described the counts as libel and slander, false light invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The federal docket lists the case as S.J., a minor, through his Parent Curtis J. Jackson, III v. Kemp, filed Oct. 26.

In that complaint, Jackson's lawyers allege Kemp falsely attributed a medical diagnosis to the boy. "This action arises from a grown adult's deliberate decision to use a young child as a prop and a punchline in order to wound the child's father," they wrote, according to Billboard. "S.J. is a minor and not a public figure." Complex reported the complaint asks for a jury trial, at least $2 million per count, and a permanent injunction requiring Kemp to take down the statements at issue. Those claims have not been tested in court.

How it started

The dispute traces back to earlier this month, when Jackson trolled Ross online over an alleged assault on Ross and Kemp's 21-year-old son, William Roberts III. Jackson posted the suspected assailant's mugshot and joked that he would bail him out, Billboard reported. Billboard said Kemp's posts about Sire appear to have come in response.

Kemp and 50 Cent respond

After news of the order broke Wednesday, Kemp reposted coverage on her Instagram Story with the words "RAT RAT RAT," followed by a second, profane Story that appeared aimed at Jackson, Baller Alert reported. Earlier in the week, after the petition was reported, she said in a TikTok video, "You can't bully me," according to Baller Alert, Billboard and According2HipHop. In that TikTok response she also called him "15 Cent," according to Billboard; According2HipHop reported it as "15 Cents." No outlet has reported a court filing by Kemp in either case. TMZ said she had not responded to its request for comment on the petition, and Billboard said she did not immediately respond to its request.

Jackson shared the injunction news on Instagram and said the order "will make her re think her Gangsta granny act," according to Baller Alert.

What happens Nov. 3

The temporary injunction expires Nov. 3. Both sides are scheduled to appear in court that day, and a judge will decide whether to issue a longer-lasting injunction or let the restrictions lapse, according to TMZ and Baller Alert. The federal lawsuit in Los Angeles is proceeding separately.
