LOS ANGELES, Oct 18: Rapper 50 Cent has taken to Instagram to hit back at those who have been making fun of his recent money problems.
The rapper has recently been the butt of many a joke by fellow artist Rick Ross since filling bankruptcy proceedings in July, however three months on 50 doesn’t seem too strapped for cash anymore.
The 40-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, posted a video of himself asleep and then waking up exclaiming “I can’t see my legs,” as the camera panned down to show his lower half covered in money.
He then posted a photo showing himself lying on a bed surrounded by money, writing, ‘Ok I found my legs, but I can’t find nothing to watch on TV. Power season 3 on the way,’ managing to get a cheeky plug for his TV series in.
The posts were likely in response to comments made by rival Rick Ross recently, poking fun at the rapper’s financial situation. “Get rich or die trying and now you bankrupt,” Ross said in an interview earlier this month.
50 Cent was forced to file bankruptcy proceedings in July after losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, he has also recently completed a court-ordered debt course. (PTI)
