50 Cent has filed for bankruptcy

Once living by the motto ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’’, 50 Cent is no longer rich, and he’s still trying.

Real name Curtis Jackson, the rapper - one of the most successful of the ‘00s - has declared himself bankrupt. Once worth $150 million through sales and investments (including an early stake in Vitamin Water), 50 Cent is giving up assets worth between $10 and $50 million.

Court papers have been files to the US Bankruptcy Court in Hartford, Connecticut, reports Wall Street Journal. This follows a separate court ruling, where a jury ordered Jackson to pay $5 million to a woman whose sex tape had been released without permission.
