Marketing wise, this is a very bad publicity stunt. It will for sure hurt Taco Bell.

As an Example, Subway Foods has done some pretty stupid things, pretty giving the sub title to Quiznos because of stupid stunts like this. Even a legit mistake, like Subway excluding home school kids from a "school athletics program donations" hurt them in the pocket book.

So, Taco bell playing 50 cent out, making it look like he sold out, will piss off a serious amount of people, and those people won't buy Taco bell because of it.
