*A Brooklyn teenager was bullied and beaten at his high school because of his friendship with 50 Cent — and the school did nothing to protect him.
Now the teen’s mother is suing the Department of Education for $5.5 million.
Myasia Dickerson is speaking out about her 14-year-old son Davian Fraser’s connection to 50 Cent, which she believes has made him a target.
“It caused a big uproar in the school,” Dickerson told the New York Daily News. “The kids started to follow my son around, tried to put him on Snapchat, tried to take videos of him. They were following him to the train station.”
Fraser and 50 Cent met in 2016, and the boy became known as the rapper’s “third son” after he shared photos of Fraser on Instagram. “My life is full of surprises,” 50 wrote in a since-deleted post. “This little guy is my son DAVIAN. He started crying, I was thinking why you crying i gotta pay for this shit. LMAO.”

50’s rep previously shared a statement with E! News that denied Fraser is his son. “Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson does not have a third son,” the statement read. “However he was immediately drawn to this young boy’s story much like his own, the 10-year-old is growing up under rough circumstances so he has decided to help mentor him and get him the education he deserves.”
According to the Daily News reports, Davian was on his lunch break on Dec. 16 when four classmates physically assaulted him.
“He was attacked from behind as he tried to walk away,” Dickerson said. “He was punched in the head and then the student proceeded to fight him and then he slammed my son’s head onto the ground.”
A police report said in another incident, a student followed and hit Fraser in the back of the head and slammed his head into the stairwell floor. No one was arrested.
The attacks on Fraser have left him with injuries to his head and neck, as well as emotional and psychological trauma, according to Dickerson. She faults the school, noting the one time her son sought refuge inside a classroom right before an attack but the teacher turned him away.
“Parents have the right to expect a safe environment when they send their child to school,” said the family’s attorney, Sanford Rubenstein. “When school personnel fail to provide that, especially when they are on notice of a problem, the school is liable to that child for damages.”
Dickerson said her son hasn’t been in school since he was beaten.
“My son is broken,” she said. “It’s heartbreaking.”
