Bankrupt star 50 Cent has made headlines again with a photo of dollar bills in his fridge posted to his Instagram account.
The rapper filed for bankruptcy in August after a court in New York ordered him to pay $7 million (£4.5 million) to a woman who said he’d posted a sex tape of hers online without her permission.
In court, the man known as ‘Fiddy’ – who was born Curtis Jackson III – downplayed his wealth saying he rents, borrows or leases expensive items such as jewellery and cars.
But the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper has been ranked by Forbes as one of hip-hop’s five richest artists.
50 Cent perennially makes news for matters outside of his music. Here are just five occasions Fiddy got us giddy with excitement.
1. 50 Cent’s cold, hard cash
What’s inside the rapper’s fridge? Stacks and stacks of dollars. As you do.
The business mogul, whose interests include Effen Vodka and numerous corporate collaborations, captioned the Instagram screenshot with a reference to Thanksgiving.
“Gotta keep a cool little $tash and some Effen Vodka Happy Holidays.#EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO.”
2. Movie weight loss
Pictures of an emaciated-looking 50 Cent caused a huge shock when they first emerged in 2010.
The rapper lost over four stones in just nine weeks on a liquid diet for his starring role as a cancer-stricken American Football player in All Things Fall Apart.
He also hit the treadmill for three hours a day.
3. 50 Cent versus Mayweather
50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr put aside their feud after the death of their mutual friend, Earl Hayes.
The rapper sent a message to the sports star, posting: “Don’t you ever do nothing to yourself no matter what champ.”
He added: “We can fall out and fight or whatever, but I don’t want to see you go out like that.”
Earl Hayes had reportedly killed his wife and then himself in a horrific murder-suicide witnessed by the boxer on FaceTime.
4. Abs-solutely fabulous!
What a way to celebrate turning 40!
50 Cent looked very buff when he hit the cover of the July/August 2015 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine.
5. Chukka cheers
Fiddy stole the show when he turned up at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New York back in June of this year.
Dressed in a sharp suit and a fedora hat, he happily posed for the press alongside the well-heeled polo-set.
