Rapper 50 Cents Lies in Court

After filing for bankruptcy last week, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, appeared in a Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday morning to testify that he is not as wealthy as his flashy lifestyle makes him appear to be. While Forbes estimated the rapper’s fortune to be about 155 million Dollars in May, Jackson’s lawyer said in court Tuesday that his client’s worth is 4.4 million Dollars, which presents a problem after he was hit last week with a 5million Dollars verdict for publishing a sex tape starring rival Rick Ross’ eX-Girlfriend.  Inaddition Jackson explained in court that while his social-media accounts may be filled with flashy photos, “I take the jewelry and the cars back to the stores,” according to the New York Daily News. When the judge asked the rapper about his 38 million record sales, Jasckon said, “I make 10 cents a record.”Jackson also said he made 100,000D0llars for the two movies he’s currently in, “Spy” and “Southpaw.” For his current role on Starz’s hit series “Power,” which he also executive-produces, Jackson said he’s pocketed only 150,000Dollars from each of its first two seasons.
