The star's lawyers had argued Tompkins forfeited her right to respond to his case, but an appeals court says she can defend herself in court.

A New York appeals court has rejected 50 Cent’s request to automatically win a lawsuit against an ex-girlfriend over her “tell-all” Instagram posts.
The rapper sued Shaniqua Tompkins last year, claiming her posts violated a 2007 agreement in which she allegedly sold the star her life rights in perpetuity. Her lawyers fired back in January that she was coerced into signing that deal with threats and intimidation.
