Rapper 50 Cent has been ordered to court by a judge after he flashed his bank notes on Instagram.
The star, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, was seen surrounded by dozens of USD 100 bills in one photo and spelled out "B-R-O-K-E" with the money in another image, reported Ace Showbiz.
Despite filing for bankruptcy, 50 Cent, 40, didn't look broke at all on his social media. Instead of keeping a low profile, the hip-hop star bragged about his luxurious lifestyle, tweeted about building a house in Africa, and shared pictures from his jam-packed performances.
"I'm concerned about allegations of nondisclosure or a lack of transparency in the case," said US Bankruptcy Judge Ann M Nevins during a recent hearing.
"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 noted that bankruptcy court was a place where "an honest but unfortunate debtor can come into court and seek relief."
She added, "When that process becomes very public, the need for transparency, I believe, is even higher."
50 Cent's legal team assured that the rapper would show up in court "to make sure that all questions have been addressed.
