I think two of the major disadvantages of being a celebrity is, You cant borrow money in peace, and you cant afford to be broke like a normal human being. I think celebrities are a different kind of breed...lolzz
50 Cent
who made headlines when he filed for bankruptcy just days ago, just after being
ordered to pay $5million over the release of a sex tape.
Apparently,
it seems his financial situation hasn't stopped him from enjoying rich and famous lifestyle of which he has become accustomed, because he was spotted boarding a flight in the first class section on Thursday.
The
40-year-old rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - cut a rather relaxed
figure as he arrived at JFK airport in New York to board an
international flight.
He is flying first class to London, where he is set to perform at a
concert with his hip-hop co-stars G-Unit at the O2 Arena on Friday.
His
scheduled appearance in the British capital - which had long been
planned before his bankruptcy came to light - is to take place just one
day after further details of his financial troubles emerged.
As well as
the other millions of dollars he owes, it has been reported the rapper
even needs to pay back a substantial amount of money to a member of his
own family - his grandfather.
In documents obtained by TMZ, it was revealed that the music star owes his grandfather $1,737.33.
This is in addition to $137,880 to Bentley and $64,909 to American Express, among several others.
He
owes in total, as was revealed in a federal Bankruptcy Court filing on
Thursday, $28m, with his biggest creditor being Sleek Audio.
The
Florida-based headphone company are owed $18,428,257 from the rapper -
who is thought to be one of the wealthiest hip hop stars in the world -
after winning a judgement over him stealing a design.
The
In Da Club hitmaker filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, listing
his assets and liabilities at between $10million and $50million to a
federal bankruptcy court.
The
bankruptcy filing, which would protect 50 Cent from paying creditors,
came days after a jury ordered him to pay $5 million to a woman who
appeared in a sex tape that went online in 2009.
And he commented about his financial situation during an appearance on Conan O'Brien's chat show on Wednesday.
The rapper was asked about the chapter 11 filing and he replied: 'Yeah, I need protection.'
Fiddy went on to explain the price of fame and the mark that fortune leaves on a person for others to take aim towards.
50
Cent explained: 'You get a bullseye painted on your back when you're
successful, and it's public to know you've become the ideal person to
have lawsuits for.'
In the
aforementioned sex tape, 50 Cent poses as his alter ego Pimpin' Curly,
sporting a wig and speaking in an artificially high voice, as he
narrates the Florida woman's sexual encounter and mocks fellow rapper
Rick Ross, who has a child with her.
That
was not the only controversial topic the Candy Shop rapper touched on
as he discussed poking fun at fellow rapper and mogul P Diddy after he
allegedly got into a fight with his son's football coach.
Shortly
after the reports of the incident between the 45-year-old rapper - real
name Sean Combs - and the UCLA coach happened, 50 was quick to post
videos and memes shedding light on the situation.
50 explained: 'I poked fun at it because it didn't seem like a real serious thing.
'It
starts bad in the news and kind of makes its way to something positive
and no one reports it when it starts to become positive.
'And as it started to, you know, work its way out, I felt better about poking fun of it.'
I think they should allow him to be broke in peace... lolzzz!
