G-Unit rapper 50 Cent has been ordered to pay an undisclosed amount to New York Post photographer Jim Alcorn in an assault case which stretches way back to 2003.

Alcorn filed a lawsuit against 50 aka Curtis Jackson, claiming he was assaulted by the rapper after taking a photograph of the star as he left a jewellery shop.

Alcorn said that Fiddy and his crew pounced on him leaving him with neck and jaw injuries which required hospital treatment.

A spokesman for 50 Cent said, "It's a legal issue that's been settled."
