The money in all those 50 Cent Instagram pictures 'isn't real'

Last year 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy after he was ordered to pay $5m (£3.2m) to a woman who said he posted her sex tape online.

At the same time he also posted several pictures of himself surrounded by LOADS of money.

The stacks of cash made some people question if he was actually "broke", which he spelled out in a dollar bill in one of the pictures.

During a bankruptcy court hearing he's now claimed the pictures were faked.

Suspicions were raised when Fiddy started playing countdown with $100 notes.

50 Cent put up a picture on Instagram of bags of money, despite claiming he was bankrupt.

When Judge Ann Nevins asked about the photos, the rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, said the money was being used as props and that he wasn't covering up his wealth.

The judge has now been asked to appoint an examiner to review 50 Cent's assets.

Papers filed in court last year reported his debts were in the range of $10m (£6m) to $50m (£32m).

Before filing for bankruptcy Forbes magazine estimated the rapper was worth $155m (£110m).

50 Cent has admitted that filing for bankruptcy was a "strategic business move".
