Rapper 50 Cent is in trouble for his online activities—he is heading back to court to explain to a judge while he is filing for bankruptcy and yet has so much money to display online in photos, CNN reports.
In July 2015, 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy—claiming that even though he still makes millions, a flood of expensive lawsuits is killing him.
He also revealed during the early days of his bankruptcy hearing that most of the expensive chains he wears in his music videos are borrowed and his fab on-screen lifestyle is totally fake.
Since filling for bankruptcy, the rapper has posted several photos of himself online with huge amounts of cash surrounding him and Bankruptcy Judge Ann M. Nevins has taken keen interest in 50 Cent’s online behaviour.
Judge Ann M. Nevins feels that 50 Cent is being dishonest and he ought to come and explain the court the disparity in his legal bankruptcy claim and the life he showcases online.
According to CNN;

“There’s a purpose of having a bankruptcy process be transparent, and part of that purpose is to inspire confidence in the process,” the judge said, adding that bankruptcy court is where “an honest but unfortunate debtor can come into court and seek relief.”
“When that process becomes very public, the need for transparency, I believe, is even higher,” she told the rapper’s lawyer, James Berman.
Judge Nevins ordered the rapper to show up in court. On Friday, the rapper’s legal team issued a statement saying he would show up “to make sure that all questions have been addressed.”
“Mr. Jackson has been forthcoming and transparent with all creditors,” his lawyers assured.
This issue was brought up in court papers filed in January by headphone maker Sleek Audio,SunTrust Bank (STI) and 50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston, three claimants in the bankruptcy case who say they’re owed a combined $29 million.
In court documents, they also say 50 Cent has posted pictures of huge public performances he probably got paid for — even though he hasn’t reported that to the court.
They also pointed out that 50 Cent never admitted he owned property that he later disclosed on Instagram, saying: “My crib is almost finished in AFRICA. I’m gonna have the craziest housewarming party ever.”
