50 Cent can be sued for posting a sex tape featuring Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend and baby mama Lastonia Leviston.

On Thursday, a New York judge dismissed the rapper’s (real name Curtis Jackson) motion to have Leviston’s 2010 lawsuit dismissed.

The woman sued 50 Cent for emotional distress after he posted a video of her having sex with Maurice Murray on his website in 2009.

The footage wound up getting millions of views across several sites, and Leviston, who never gave permission to have the clip distributed, contends that the incident led to depression and anxiety, allegedly becoming suicidal.

In the sex tape, which 50 Cent purchased from Murray, Leviston’s face is left un-blurred and recognizable.

The rapper edited himself into content as an alter ego character named “Pimpin’ Curly,” motivated by a then-rancorous feud with Ross.

50 Cent had argued that Leviston was exaggerating her distress over the tape.

The judge has now determined that that matter will be up to a jury.

50 Cent has been sentenced to three years of probation after pleading “no contest” to vandalism in connection with an alleged fight at a woman’s home earlier this year.

As part of the plea deal, prosecutors in Los Angeles have dropped domestic violence charges against the rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson.

He will avoid jail time.

In addition to probation, 50 Cent must comply with a restraining order, complete 30 days of community service, attend counseling sessions, and pay restitution and fines.

In June, he allegedly attacked Daphne Joy, the mother of his second child, inside her home.

According to the police, the rapper caused damage to her property, breaking chandeliers, a TV and other furniture.
