Woman Sues Member Of 50 Cent’s Crew For Alleged Assault

WATERBURY, Conn. – A 23-year-old Naugatuck woman has sued a member of rapper 50 Cent’s entourage, alleging she was beaten inside the star’s Farmington mansion.
Shana Chin says she was hit with a belt and choked by Dwayne McKenzie, a 27-year-old employee of 50 Cent, last May after a party. She says the encounter left her face, thigh and back bruised. Messages seeking comment were left with attorneys for 50 Cent and McKenzie. A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for May.
McKenzie was arrested shortly after the incident. Chin’s lawyer says McKenzie was allowed into a violence education program that could result in the criminal charges being dropped.
The civil lawsuit, filed in Waterbury Superior Court this month, seeks unspecified damages.
