Rapper 50 Cent filed legal documents appealing a decision made by a Los Angeles judge and accusing him of discriminating against the rapper because he is black. 

The Candy Shop singer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, sued Sleek Audio earlier in the year claiming it owed his licensing company G-Unit Brands $261,000 in unpaid debt, but lost the case when it went to arbitration. The arbitrator chooses who wins and 50 Cent claimed the judge sided with the company because he is allegedly a racist, TMZ reported Sunday.

The rapper said he was discriminated against by the arbitration judge because of his skin color, association with controversial African-American figures and because he is a high profile rap artist, according to court documents cited by the gossip website. The 38-year-old is taking his accusations to federal court, claiming that due to the judges' racist beliefs he was unable to present evidence pertaining to the case and cross-examine witnesses.

The In Da Club singer asked for a new hearing, where he said he will prove the judge was against him from the beginning.

Sleek Audio called 50's racist claims a desperate move by the singer to avoid the previous ruling, in which the singer had to reportedly pay up an undisclosed amount to the company. The name of the judge in 50 Cent's racist claims was not released to the public at time of publication. 

Sleek Audio announced in May 2012 the termination of their Brand License Agreement with G-Unit Brands, Inc.
