Rap mogul 50 Cent appeared before a bankruptcy judge on Tuesday to explain the stacks of cash he flashes on his Instagram page.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The 40-year-old rapper told Judge Ann Nevins that the stacks of cash were music video props he uses to maintain his image on social media. But that explanation may run him afoul of the Secret Service which has special rules regarding counterfeit money.
Someone should tell Fiddy he can’t stunt on Instagram using fake money from music videos. He has to destroy the fake cash after the final use. Stuntin’ doesn’t qualify as a proper use of fake cash.
Billboard — …his answer may soothe the judge’s concerns, but how about the U.S. Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting against the counterfeiting of U.S. currency?
Robert Hoback, a spokesperson for the agency, wouldn’t comment directly about [50 Cent]’s case, but did point out an FAQ on the Secret Service website pertaining to the rules for the printing, publishing and illustration of U.S. currency. The rules dictate that illustrations must be “less than three-fourths or more than one and one-half” the size of a real bill and that anything used in the making of an illustration must be “destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.”
Please do not feed the bear…Sincerely, The Management.
It will not.
This money is not counterfeit either!
Has he spent it at a store, tipped a valet or gave it to a girlscott for a box of cookies?
This money is a prop, a movie prop. Does the Secret Service monitor all money used in show business?
They need to get over it, yes he is petty, but y’all look foolish. I think that was his point.
“anything used in the making of an illustration must be “destroyed and/or deleted or erased after their final use.”

He’s not finished using it … lol
I have nooooo idea wth the purpose of him doing any of that will benefit
I’m not finished using it. ~Curtis Jackson~
Unless someone is there to actually validate the “money”, this is a moot point.
What will happen is if they believe its counterfeit, they can legally search his home and all property of and confiscate all “props”… I done told yall they ain’t gone let him laugh at the legal system..
Khole calling Russel Wilson, trying to give him rotten box
The money is real, and 2cent believes he has all fooled. The judge is monitoring finances, and hopefully the justice dept will get involved to trace cash flow, deposits, and etc. ‘Kermit’ cannot be trusted, and definitely is a joke! Man up, and pay the woman her money.
Although it would serve him right, it’s highly doubtful…Counterfit money is produced with the sole purpose of fraudulently being passed in exchange for goods and/or service…Even the hookers carry bill scanners nowAdays, allegedly? Prop money however is produced for the purpose of continuity. It’s supposed to look good on camera, but by no means be realistic enough to pass in/on the market. Even being marked with the word prop somewhere on the bill…So yeah, we’ll see what happens though. Not many more deserving of karma than Curtis?
Please!! Rap videos, movies, and the show POWER uses money props. Somebody mad that they got out smarted by props. He’s still shooting the series, still shooting videos so I wonder how do you determine when it’s use is up and it needs to be destroyed?
He is to old to be trying to stunt on Instagram and trolling people his favorite passtime.??
Thanks meet me over on figueroa tonight so I borrow yours. ho’s gotta look out for each other.
No…They won’t…No matter how many photos he has of himself with Trump, he’s not Trump? No matter how many careers of Black folks he proclaims he has ended, he’s not one of ‘them’. He can buy Val Kilmer all the cars he wants, sleep with as many Chelsea Handlers’ his heart desires, you sir, are devoid of YT priv??
IT IS AN ELECTION YEAR. All of these candidates that they have to protect, and they worried about Curtis?
I am so tired of folks IDKWTFTDD!

Say whet? And 50 still unbothered with his smug arse…
Snap Snap Snap
If he have any sense, he will ask the feds to prove that their money is real or worth any value. neither one hold any value…shrugs***
The money’s real it was never fake or the money from the Power set. 50 cent is too much or a braggart to use fake money to stunt. He’s only back tracking because he now sees even with all that money he’s still a nigga in a coupe. Bye 50, you can’t play the same games as your wealthier white counter parts. They have the complexion for protection you don’t.
You can BUY it on AMAZON. Anybody can.

Imma get some too.
A crazy woman from Oakland.
Whewww!!! Add some more snaps, she said that shit!!!
We can go to End Zone and throw stacks on the floor. lol
This is one ugly man. Inside and out. He has always disrespected black women. Chelsa Handler niggered him up and down to his face, put his business out there, and he said not one thing about that white woman.
I have a feeling 50 will be audited and in tax trouble soon.
And this is what he does when he receives that call
Yep
Say IIITTTT!!!
Is it after each use it must be destroyed? Anyway Fiddy doesnt have anyone to snitch on so he better not mess with them Federal boys?. If he does he will need to figure out how to use a jumpsuit and handcuffs as a prop .
Besides a prop for a play, why would anybody buy this?!
Can he get any dumber.
Mr. Jimmy gonna put our asses OUT.
He better stop playing. Anywhoo check the Nestlé website for food recalls and Wonderful pistachios as well.
How Ciara gone look when she roll up on Khloe in them streets!
He was smart. He already listed the state of CT and IRS as creditors. Bankruptcy does not discharge tax debt, so he still required to continue to pay them. But basically they will go easy on him if he falls behind, cause he raised his hand and already in essence said I owe them. He a crafty ole fugga. I will give it to him.
Who knows. Me and Vanilla going to the local hole in the wall and make it rain though.
Nods head real slow , like the old ladys in church when they know the pastor talking abt some truth
Thot thot thotlicious
Open Post up top
Dont know who Mr Jimmy is, but dem hos going jump yall.
???
That means it was a gr8 night, right?
There’s rumor online that says Fiddy has a clone passing for him, dressing like him etc…
Other than that, crack is wack Fiddy
The kylluminadi might erase this comment
What about the money him & Floyd give away on Facebook?
they all do??
If he had any sense, he should have paid that lady the $7m and called it a day!
GOT ta be mo’ CAREFUL!!! *__*
He just petty asf. For some strange, I place him and Floyd Mayweather in the same class of pettiness. A crime (obv) and a dayum shame!
Oh quickly a ninja will forget. Get reminded with the quickness though. smh
He’s going to f around and lose it all being petty ahole.
And you ain’t even playing the game right off rip. Your white counterparts aren’t stunting with no “fake props” on instagram! They’re keeping their noses clean and keeping their heads down chilling while this shyt “blows over” lol..letting time pass but not 50. He gotta stunt and let everyone know “that a bish can’t a dollar out of me” and then flex to the maximum possible level there is. He clearly missed that chapter of the book.
Where is Johnny Cochran will you need him?
U can actually discharge your own debt…if you know how, even tax….technically it’s not your debt. In reality its your credit.
He the lil Asian owner. Of black club..smh. he an alcoholic. But he don’t play bout no $
Only if we don’t go to gel.
To front on social media.
I can’t go to jail for that… It needs to be for something with a little more weight. Lol
He willa kicka yo arsea, if u play with his money (say in asian voice
What a dumbass
they not going to do anything to him. i shoot videos and have about half million in prop money. it looks real from a distance. but you can tell automatically that its not real. ijs
????? shrugs
I dont think the money is fake…I think he has money hidden from the court until he is over the bankruptcy… as soon as he is out of bankruptcy he will pull the money out and continue living the life he has always lived…and will brag about how he got over on everyone…
They can dismiss his case. And that is legal. This dude is creating his own demise.
Invisible Ho Tears — the hardest to wipe away.
Wish they had a picture of s dusty cracked out looking alley cat with it fur half gone holding a phone, that would have been a more fitting picture. Can’t stand her or her family smh
You reap what you sow, he deserves it all and I’m not sorry to say so. Karma is real 50 and she’s about to kiss you hard and bitterly lol
He’s very arrogant and childish!
I believe that it was real and he’s trying to cover it up by saying that it was a prop. He’s going to get busted when he can’t prove that it is.
Because they’re butt buddies.
Truth is…. he’s not broke. He’s doing what rich white ppl do….. he is filing bankrupt to not pay those settlements and judgments…. saying the money is fake and prop for show and tell is to convince the judge the money is not his and he’s really broke. Please don’t sleep on that hood dude with street mentality. .
50 cent should prove that the money is fake by make a gigantic bon fire.
That’s what you get dumba$$ negro who won’t take care of your children.
I was just bout to say he gone wind up living up to his damn name pretty soon…
I know dude’s attorney is like wtf! But hey, it’s probably working out in his favor too so he can keep charging 50 for his representation and such.
That’s some C00NTASTIC sh!t right there. Like really Sambo style type of sh!t!????????
I’m sick of everyone faking all the time. IG might be more interesting if people would just be real. I bet everyone’s using fake money and fake props trying to sell a dream.
Why this fool still acting like he ain’t used to shit! Damn! You don’t see nobody but stupid ass black folk doing this dumb ass shit. this shit ain’t cute but ignorant and he too damn old to be acting like this!
It should not matter if it’s real or fake. He blatantly mocked the justice system & they are going to rake him over the coals. His Achilles heel is his vengeful nature. If he gets out of this he will have learned a lesson…if he is smart.
This is wat happens when u giv dumb uneducated hood trash bread. They act like an asshole and loose it all. Wind up bankrupt. STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS.
I can see that.
