50 Cent has been granted court approval to seize a Connecticut property owned by former Sire Spirits executive Mitchell Green, who owes the Hip-Hop mogul’s liquor brand more than $7 million after a fraud conviction.

A federal bankruptcy judge lifted the automatic stay on Green’s Chapter 7 case, allowing Sire Spirits to enforce a lien on the Westport home at 299 Main Street.

The decision clears the way for foreclosure proceedings under state law.

Green, who once served as director of brand management for Sire Spirits, was found liable for orchestrating a kickback scheme involving inflated liquor prices and secret side deals with French distilleries.

According to court documents, he pocketed roughly $2.2 million in illegal payments between 2018 and 2020.
